Advertising and marketing giants know how hard it is for us to pass up a free offer. They also know that the only way we’ll do it is if what’s on offer has no value to us. So their mission is to convince us that the reason our life has lost its zip is because we don’t have the particular product or service they are being paid to promote. And incase we’re not quite sure, to seal the deal we’re pushed over the edge with the irresistible “Buy 2 Get 1 Free!” mantra. In today’s matter crazed world we can also easily pass on spirituality because we don’t see how it could add any punch to our party. After all, what do you really get out of “being spiritual”? Because it’s so rare to find someone who has actually achieved what is available in spiritual pursuits, this mindset is, unfortunately, understandable. What is available through a genuine non-material lifestyle? Bhakti wisdom lists two observable items, with genuine happiness being number one on the list. That means happiness which is not based or dependent on anything external, which has no distress mixed in, and which is always increasing. The second item is the dedicated effort to give the opportunity for that kind happiness to others. As Bhagavad Gita explains “Because the Bhaki Yogi is truly happy, due to connection to the Supreme, out of compassion he or she tries to hard share this connection with others.” Believe it or not these people, although few and far between, are out there. And they can add the greatest value to our lives, if we’ll let them.

Rags to riches...companies like Value Village make a large amount of money shipping rags to the Third World, where they are actually used for clothing. This makes huge profits for the middle men who buy from charities and , unfortunately, this often puts indigenous fabric and clothing makers out of business. This article will give you a small idea of the scope of this business:

Gradually I move into the world of Japanese vitamin hits. Encouraged by the Swede.
Somewhat horrific. Didn't wake me up. Marginally helped counter the beer dehydration
I'm stopping until my "Little More AMH Goodness" charms get here. I don't want for half of my blanket to be blocks from the first round of the swap and then the other half to be blocks from all of the subsequent blocks. So I must stop here (because of the way I'm making the blocks I end up with 2 pair identical blocks from each pair of charm squares). I can be patient. I'm sure of it!
All sewn together. Each HST block measures approx 4 inches square.
I'm all about buying second hand items, but I can't be alone in thinking that an opened package of Depends crosses the line.
Sincerely, A perplexed yet amused shopper
Value(s) for Money? Philanthropy as a Catalyst for Social Change (March 6-9, 2014)
Increasing social and environmental challenges, writ globally, are raising the stakes for philanthropy to find "solutions". The deeply complex nature of these challenges, however, defies easy fixes and requires more sophisticated and diffuse systems level approaches. Is the philanthropic sector ready, or capable of meeting critical systemic challenges? Probably not, as seen through the lens of Michael Edwards in a recent think piece entitled 'Beauty and the Beast: Can Money Ever Foster Social Transformation?'.
Innovative funding mechanisms that support social change - like crowd-funding, social impact bonds, payments for eco-system services and prize-backed challenges - have diversified the funding landscape and brought in new resources. The system, however, is arguably out of balance with too much focus placed on revenue-generation, and directing financial resources, through the market. At the same time, less funding is available for the deeper, less tangible drivers of social change - change that is driven by the beneficiaries themselves and is inherently more democratic. Money, while a seemingly essential tool in change processes, can be a "curse", reinforcing or exacerbating the very circumstances and power imbalances at the heart of systemic social challenges.
The objective of this program, in partnership with Hivos, is to shape a new narrative on funding for deep social change that can influence current and future funding trends and global policies.
