Nuevo Comienzo

On August 20th of 2010 I posted #365 of my 365 Reasons I Love Costa Rica. That blog had been a labor of love for me for over two years. However, like most good things, they usually have to reach their end. But that "end" can mark a new beginning, a "nuevo comienzo" as my Spanish-speaking friends might say. So here it is, Costa Rica Guy's new blog. In it I plan to divulge the countless varieties of ways one can make a difference, here in Costa Rica, or wherever you might find yourself in the moment. I hope you enjoy reading it half as much as I know I will enjoy writing it.

Seeking Influential Indians

"Too many chiefs and not enough indians," is a complaint you often hear with respect to organizational malaise.  But in reality, I guess every tribe needs a chief and since I started this one, I guess I'm it, at least for now.  But what's a chief, what's a tribe, without indians?  So I am on the warpath (to continue my aboriginal metaphor) to recruit indians into this tribe.  Chief Costa Rica Guy needs you!  If you're wondering what in the world is all this about, then you're on the verge of a breakthrough!  And I encourage you to peruse the recently created and official CR365 Squidoo Lens.  In it a bit of the madness behind the idea is divulged.  But the idea doesn't work without you, the faithful tribes-man or woman, rallying around the cause.  What's the cause?  In a word, sustainability.  Making the world more sustainable in every sense of what the term entails.  Civilization has become unsustainable in this generation and unless "we" do something to change course, we're headed towards a bad place.  A place where the world won't be nearly as accommodating to live in.  Of course, "we" means not just our tribe, but the many tribes being formed in countless ways, often using the leverage of Web 2.0 to get their voices heard.  We are just a small part of this universe taking shape, but an integral part nonetheless.  So even if you don't join this tribe, please join some tribe.  Be a good indian and go on the war path of making a difference for a better world.....and a better you.
