I also have a little bird at my feet, eating my scraps of snacks I've left on the floor. He's a brave little fellow and getting very close, but enjoying whatever I drop---ooops, he just dropped something unpleasant on the chair pad he hopped on! There's always a price to pay, isn't there?
I've taken the day to catch up on my reading and made my way through three FAST COMPANY magazines and a TIME. I've decided to write a white paper on leadership, and I want to pull as much as I can from the contemporary culture that I can. During my research, I found a great article about The Sharing Economy. Did you know there are websites dedicated to help you find neighbors with power tools to borrow, to help you find a place (apartment or room) to stay in the city you're traveling to, trade books or find used kids clothes? It's amazing and I just thought I'd share. Check out the article, it's well worth the read, but here are some great websites that you might find useful in the sharing economy.
sharedearth.com Links landowners to gardeners and farmers
thredup.com Links you up to used kids cloths and toys that are age appropriate
zimride.com Ridesharing for students and coworkers
airbnb.com Rent other peoples homes, apartments, beds, boats, etc.
liquidspace.com Finds available workspaces

gobble.com Meals from your neighborhood chefs

Enjoy! The world is changing at a rapid pace, and a lot for the better!
Remember to spend some quality time on you!
