Canvassing Eagle Park

for Community Garden

We had a wonderful turnout for our first effort toward the construction of this community garden to be located at

265 Admiral Street in Providence. 

Our good friend, Marcellus Sharpe has done most of the hard work at learning how this will work.  We were glad to add some "legwork" to his efforts by distributing flyers to invite the community to participate.  After all, the participation of friends and neighbors in the area will be essential to its success! 

It is exciting to see how the Law of Attraction works to connect people who want to achieve great things.  Our friend Caffi came from Boston, by BUS to be a part of this project.  She is so passionate about farming that she actually is studying it out in Boston and working with other communities and small groups to offer education on how to farm.  We are fortunate to have drawn a person of her skills and abilities to us as we will need such an advisor over the important months to come.

In addition to Caffi, Marcellus has shown the vision and passion to create this and has the business knowledge to consider each detail carefully.  Sam has been instrumental in organizing the CBA Group to be the people who go out into the community and really get things rolling.  Bob is awesome!  He brought his 3 sons, our friend Andrew, and basically arrived with a full minivan of volunteers! 

My daughter Annika and I were glad to be with this wonderful group, and Alberta brought her sister Danielle along with her daughters Lindsey and Skyler.  I love that we are involving our family (especially our little kids) because (to me anyway), community means ALL OF US.  I am just so excited personally about this!

Here are some photos from the event:

Meeting the Group

Well this has been an extraordinary experience!  What are we?  At CBA, we are what we BELIEVE we are!  From conception, to our first meeting at the Warwick Public Library to our Conference Call today...we are a real community!

As we cross that bridge, to a new path...we go not alone, but together.  Those who need to talk, are heard.  Those who have a burning passion to speak, have shared!  Many of us have been working on ourselves for a while using Books, Audio Lessons and even travelling to attend seminars in other states or around the world.  Some of us have travelled across the globe to serve in communities where opportunities do not exist.  Others of us have come from childhood in a foreign country and have been inspired to live great lives as we have discovered the "land of opportunity".

Amongst our group we have Teachers, Leaders, Experts and Friends.  Everyone has something special and unique to contribute.  Those of us who first initiated the group have layed the groundwork, and now the energy of the community is carrying it forward...powerfully.  Our next meeting will happen in mid-December.  The Group has convened via conference call, using ACN technology, this past Friday.  During this call, we discussed the book, The Strangest Secret by early Nightingale.  Members of the group shared how they plan to use what they have learned over the next 30 days to better themselves and the world.  With the help of this 30 day challenge, we are learning to tap into our mental energy for success!

Thanks to all who participated.  See you in December!
