And on a More Inspiring Note...

I met a super creative, innovative group of folks on Wednesday who have started a website called The Garden Now. It's a very cool place where for-profits and nonprofits can go to post their mind, body & spirit related events. And if you're an individual, you can register as a user, check the preferences for what kinds of events you're into, and get a customized glance at what's coming up for you.

At first I was thinking, these people are soooo together, but another website for events? But this one is definitely different. The intersection of design and functionality is perfecto. You feel calm just going on the site. And it's really easy to find what you want. Did I mention that groups will even have a system for ticketing and registration? It's a prayer answered for lots of small organizations with very worthwhile events that tend to get lost in the shuffle of bigger media.

The Garden Blog also shares very insightful, well-written thoughts. It's new and a little sparcely populated, but the current entries are interesting and so worth checking out. Looking forward to more...
