  What If:  Success is measured not by what we take of accumulate, but by what we give, and how much life flourished because we lived? See my article on link below:

I had the privilege to be interviewed by Robin Anselmi, CEO of Conversant. A courageous conversation hosted by a courageous company that is in not only in pursuit of social and racial equity but also understands the power of LOVE and JOY in the workplace.

We can change this trajectory if we come together and act now!

I was interviewed by Dr. Lindsey Godwin, Director of the David Cooperrider Center for Appreciative Inquiry, (who leads from her heart), and I am sharing it with you because our conversation was about “LOVE”. I believe this natural, powerful, lifegiving energy is the antidote and catalyst that has the capacity to guide us through these tumultuous times and propel us into a flourishing future for all.  With Love and Appreciation, Michele www.dreammakers.org

If you want to get a glimpse into what racism, love and hope, feels like, upfront and personal, I invite you to view, "DreamMakers", a film directed by Dove Suau, a brillant Puerto Rican director. This film takes you on the journey of three families: a Black Family that navigated through over 6 decades of racism and discrimination, (my family and I), a Mexican American man from California, who served 10 years of a life sentence for a crime he did not commit, and two Puerto Rican communities, the South Bronx and Chicago, who reclaimed their dignity and identity by transforming themselves from the inside out. BTW, Mario Rocha, was exonerated and freed from prison and is living his dream. # racism                         https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=dreammakers+2003 With Appreciation, Michele Author of DreamMakers: Innovating for the Greater Good

It was a wonderful experience closing the virtual “Festival Digital de Negocios Conscientes” , (Conscious Business Festival), hosted by Grupo Anga, on April 9, 2020. Once again I was inspired by Brazilian entrepreneurs capacity to value people and the planet.  This is another example of a rapidly emerging global movement rippling across the world. Conscious citizens, conscious consumers, conscious communities, conscious cities and even   some conscious countries are demanding that businesses provide products and services that supports the health and wellbeing of people and the planet. The Coronavirus is serving as a catalyst to awaken people's conscious. This will increasingly create a greater demand for businesses to operate with the Greater Good in mind. #Conscious Business I'm wishing you all good health, strength and love during these extraordinary times.

First, please know that I am praying that all of you and your love ones are healthy, safe and sound. For anyone who has contracted this insidious virus or whose love ones are suffering, I am praying for a full and rapid recovery. The time I have spent in quarantine has been frustrating, challenging and even scary at times; it has also been a gift. It has forced me to slow down and inspired me to learn and reflect on the world we have inherited and perpetuated. I believe it is also giving all of us the time, space and compelling reasons to envision a new and better world. Then maybe, together, we will find the will and the courage to redesign and reboot our society. I am thrilled to share with you the inaugural issue of the  Conscious Business Magazine,  a new addition to the  Light on Light  family of publications.  Conscious Business Magazine  is dedicated to advancing the global movement of transforming business for a flourishing world.  ...

I am usually an unapologetic optimist. My friends and colleagues generally describe me as hopeful, petering on Pollyannaish, however, given the state of our world, I feel compelled to speak-up and speak-out with a sense of urgency!   We are facing an existential threat and we must act now to save the planet and ourselves! We The People must wake-up and recognize that the man-made climate crisis, has become a climate emergency ! The severe environmental crisis is rooted in the dysfunctional social and cultural crisis, which has been exacerbated over the last three years, and is fueling the acceleration of greed, fear, hate and conflict around our world. Most importantly, the spiritual and moral crisis catalyzed by many of the leaders of countries around the world, is deeply dividing us and causing us to self-destruct. I hear so many people feeling hopeless and helpless. Many people believe that our leaders today do not represent the majority of us, so we can’t contr...

Well said! We need a wholistic approach to save our planet and we need all sectors and all people of our society to do their part. I invite you to view this video conversation from the  Conscious Business World Summit , hosted by the  Humanity Team Worldwide  that took place   earlier this year. We discuss and explore the convergence of spirituality, evolutionary science and biomimicry on the "Conscious Business" movement. We explore theoretical aspects as well as concrete examples of the rapidly growing number of businesses that are discovering and embracing this enlightened business model, best described as - "Business as a Powerful Force for Good" . Here is the link to the video:  The Science of Conscious Business Discussion   I believe this video helps us to understand how we might address the climate crisis with the whole system in mind, including our urgent need for a spiritual, cultural  and economic  transformation”.
