GREAT ADAPTATIONS

I’ve been thinking about “cultural creatives” a lot lately. I must have forgotten how much the book (Cultural Creatives, How 50 Million People Will Save the World), by Paul Ray and Sherry Anderson meant to me when it came out in 2000. I was already working on my own book about creativity and connectivity, and their work gave me strength and courage to continue my own.

Connectivity is quite a colorful beast where online communication is concerned. We take these routes online, link to link, blog to blog, and we find each other through it all, somehow.

Here is an example of the typically circuitous route that ends in two people finding each other. A few months ago I participated in Problogger’s call to readers, asking what social media they use and would they share their identities in the comments. Last time I looked, about 278 people had posted their information. I got a flood of connections on Facebook and Twitter out of it, and even now, all these weeks later, people are finding me.

That’s how I got connected to Planet Pink n Green, Cheryl Janis’ website and blog. She found me through the Problogger list, and invited me into a conversation through her Facebook page.

Now. Allow me to introduce this special blog to you. Like all the really good blogs, Cheryl expresses her uniqueness by bringing her readership the items that she finds most relevant to her own life. This is the charm of the wonderful blog, the one you sign up for, the one you read often. Personal, expressive, unique, relevant. While I don’t have any information about Cultural Creatives on my blog (that I can recall offhand), Cheryl found something in my material that told her we shared major interests. About that, she is spot-on.
