In case you were wondering . . . .

We finally made it to Florida. We started the day after Christmas and arrived on January 6. We drove through Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and down through the panhandle of Florida. At best, I had sporadic Internet access for weeks. You know what? YOU can live without Internet. It is actually relaxing.

We are now in Crystal River, Florida. We remain here until the first of February and then we work our way back to Texas. This blog will not see much action, but know this: I am living my dream of swimming with the Manatees.

If you want to keep up with us, check out Texas RV Travel blog for details. I should be posting pictures and information this week.

May 2010 be your year for fulfilling your dreams.

Namaste,

Slow Money Alliance

You may find this post a little strange coming from me, an Internet marketer, but I would like to show you how you can quit worrying about making "fast money," "easy money," "money from home," "money from the Internet" or "money while you sleep." Now, invest as if food, farms and fertility mattered, as it does.

Slow Money Principles

In order to enhance food security, food safety and food access; improve nutrition and health; promote cultural, ecological and economic diversity; and accelerate the transition from an economy based on extraction and consumption to an economy based on preservation and restoration, we do hereby affirm the following Principles:

  1. We must bring money back down to earth.

  2. There is such a thing as money that is too fast, companies that are too big, finance that is too complex. Therefore, we must slow our money down -- not all of it, of course, but enough to matter.

  3. The 20th Century was the era of Buy Low/Sell High and Wealth Now/Philanthropy Later—what one venture capitalist called “the largest legal accumulation of wealth in history.” The 21st Century will be the era of nurture capital, built around principles of carrying capacity, care of the commons, sense of place and non-violence.

  4. We must learn to invest as if food, farms and fertility mattered. We must connect investors to the places where they live, creating vital relationships and new sources of capital for small food enterprises.

  5. Let us celebrate the new generation of entrepreneurs, consumers and investors who are showing the way from Making A Killing to Making a Living.

  6. Paul Newman said, "I just happen to think that in life we need to be a little like the farmer who puts back into the soil what he takes out."
What would the world be like if :
  • we invested 50% of our assets within 50 miles of where we live?
  • there were a new generation of companies that gave away 50% of their profits?
  • there were 50% more organic matter in our soil 50 years from now?
Visit the Slow Money Alliance website for more information and to sign the principles. Become part of the emerging network, working to improve the health of local food systems and the economy.

Inquiries into the Nature of Slow Money, written by Woody Tasch, presents the philosophy, strategy and mechanics for bringing money back down to earth . . . Step toward a financial system that serves people and place as much at it serves industry sectors and markets.

I believe that Slow Money may save us all. What do you think?

Best of the Worst Advertising 2009

After a two month submission period, the judges of theTracyawards have finally handed down the recipients of the First Annual Tracy Awards, an awards show created to honor the best of the worst in advertising?!?

Each Tracy recipient is, in our judges' opinions, a unique little nugget of embarrassment that's helped lower the bar in the world of advertising creativity and execution.
Take a look at the best of the worst advertising on The Tracys. All the applicants may be viewed one the Cream of the Crap pages. I think you will find a lot of the advertising that has made you cringe over the past year.
