Building “WE”
October 15, 2008
Dear U n I verse –
Its been rough times to vision a way to utilize a monetary economy for solar. Many times I have asked myself if its worth it to keep pushin’ forward on a project that seems to be challenged by the status quo in various ways. We’ve been unsuccessful in our efforts to secure funding by traditional avenues, which is frustrating but telling, because it speaks to our mission challenging the norm.
I try to listen to you universe and receive messages from daily that we do this work to leave a legacy of longevity, sustainability and good health in body, mind, soul and business practices for our children and their children and I think we all know this... and the thing that has been standing out in the message as of late is “we”, not me.
How do we create a “business model” for “we”. Well simply put, we invite “we” to create it and sustain this project we call SOLAR.
We think a good lesson to take home from this “economic crisis” is that it reminds us that there is always a solution in collective effort for local economy. The answers seem so simple and also so untapped. We want for our community to flourish and so we should tend its gardens (metaphorically as well as physically).
We’ve been tryna hustle for Solar, and realized most recently that hustlin’ don’t work because what were doin isn’t a hustle. So the messages were receiving now from friends, family and cohorts in business is to present the idea to ALL to participate. We’d like to create a Fundraising Committee to spearhead the effort to get Solar’s doors open. Lets do this! Please contact Faatma @ 720-212-3026 to join the forces of SOLAR! (like voltron!)
