Start small. Try mindfulness meditation for 10 or 20 minutes a few times a week. Think of the humanity of the people you see on street, in the store, etc. Try to really understand where other are coming from. Work for peace.

...forget about political parties. They are the way to become politically paralyzed.
Go to a local city government meeting and find out what’s going on in your community. There’s always something that needs improvement and you can really make a difference.
We got engaged, this way I can declare my unconditional love to the community and the government! Whee!
For about 3 months (while I was a candidate for public office) I tried really hard to not swear (or belch) in front of others. I literally never felt relaxed the whole time.
I know I am going to have to change my tune about this when I have kids, though.
I’ve been going to the gym for three weeks, about 3-5 times a week. Now I am sore all the time (good sore) and have gained a pound. :(
I wish I had a little more positive re-inforcement for this. I need a workout buddy.
I used to do it once or twice a week but I got out of the habit. Now that I am working out regularly, I feel really stiff and I need it more than ever!
OK, I worked on this for about 5 hours tonight and I made a lot of progress.
While we are waiting for Carnet to redirect the domain (ahem), you can find it at http://npo.lotusmedia.org
When are gonna get to work on this, Kellan? Let’s have an IM meeting and see what we can do.
I feel awful about dropping the ball on this…
It’s a huge risk, but it can be quite rewarding. I did it for three years, but didn’t quite break even.
Although I would like to cut down the caffeine, it’s really not as important as many of my other goals. It’s an addiction I can manage.
I have mostly switched from coffee to soda (which has less caffeine) but now I’m all full of sugar, yuck.
As a Buddhist, I always endeavor to feel loving-kindness to all beings. (Strangely this generally gets easier the less beings I have to interact with.)
But as me, I am personally doing my best to love a wonderful man, a socialist-artist-geek-blogger-lover. It’s much easier than I ever thought love could be. I give thanks for him everyday.
I found eating food that I had grown from seeds or seedling incredibly rewarding. Plus it’s fresh and free of pesticides and no money or fuel was wasted to transport it to my house.
I need to get back into the garden…
I really need to get my ass in gear on this one. Thanks for the poke, Kellan. Let’s talk more about this soon.
My friends rent a beach house for the entire week including new years. It’s a mellow, 7-day party coming to a frenzied peak on December 31. It’s always fun and a great way to start the year. We have done this for the past 9 years!
