Be Eco (and inspired) this Tuesday

September 21st, 2009 by Patrick Dominguez

If you are a green business owner, entrepreneur or someone who is even just toying with the idea of green business…
EcoTuesday is one of those unique and innovative networking events that I think has been a HUGE success at building a community of like-minded (i.e. sustainable-minded) green business people.

The next one is THIS Tuesday, September 22nd.

More info on EcoTuesday:

For those of you who are unfamiliar, EcoTuesday events are held across the country the 4th Tuesday of every month.
Right now you can find their events in the following cities:

Denver / Detroit / Los Angeles / Minneapolis / San Francisco / Seattle / Silicon Valley

If you don’t see your city listed - why don’t you consider contacting EcoTuesday and launching one in your area?

FOR YOUR INSPIRATION

If you’re in San Francisco this Tuesday, you don’t want to miss EcoTuesday since there’s going to be amazing speaker - Marianne Williamson - speaking on the connection between sustainability and spirituality. I’m really excited to see her in person tomorrow.

If you can’t be there, then I’d like to share with you something that she wrote which has been an inspiration to me and many, many others.

For your inspiration, in life and in green business

=======================

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us, it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

- Marianne Williamson
