			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3><span style="color: #000080;">In 2010, anything you desire strongly will manifest quickly.</span></h3>
<p><span style="color: #000080;"> We have a chance to reorient ourselves, bring our wishes into manifestation and truly assert what we want to be. We are literally dreaming our new realities into being.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">The more creative we are in dealing with what has held us back in the old consciousness, the more healing will take place within ourselves and as a result in the world around us. Continue focusing on your highest truth and reinventing your lives.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;"> There is a quickening and a deepening of our life directions. We are anchoring our dreams into manifestation and becoming more grounded in our own light. This is a time of great reward for those of us who have done our homework.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="asset asset-image"><span style="color: #000080;"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1659" title="lavender" src="http://sherylsever.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/lavender-300x195.jpg" alt="lavender" width="200" height="130" />The Slow Money movement had their first national conference in Santa Fe a couple of weeks ago.  Over 400 people from around the country showed up to discuss the concepts around slow money, slow food and small, local farms. </span></p>
<p class="asset asset-image"><span style="color: #000080;"><a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB125305092106313571.html" target="_blank"></a></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">The slow money movement has its roots in local, organic and sustainable farming.  But it is part of a broader trend towards creating and supporting local economies and businesses. </span><span style="color: #000080;">Read  more in <a href="http://www.businessweek.com/smallbiz/running_small_business/archives/2009/09/slow_money_loca.html" target="_blank">Business Week</a> and <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB125305092106313571.html" target="_blank">Wall Street Journal </a>.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">Slow Money is said to be a  new economic vision. Or is it  the reinvention of a system that once functioned?  I see it as a re-emergence of i</span><span style="color: #000080;">nvestors, donors, farmers, and activists committed to building </span><span style="color: #000080;">local economies starting with the <strong>soil</strong> of the economy. FOOD!</span><span style="color: #000080;"> Some &#8220;experts&#8221;  refer to this as the &#8220;nurture capital&#8221; industry.&#8221; I call it Natural Capital.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;"> </span><span style="color: #000080;"><a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB125305092106313571.html" target="_blank"></a></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;"> I&#8217;ll be attending the <a href="http://www.praxispeace.org/conference09.php">Economics of Peace Conference, </a>Oct. 18-23 in Sonoma, CA. </span><span style="color: #000080;">This conference will be showcase some of the most successful and inspiring examples of economic models that value people and planet before profit. </span><span style="color: #000080;">Looking forward to meeting leading thought leaders and hearing their views on collaborative businsess practices and innovative exchange systems for Transforming Money, Rebuilding Community, Redefining Wealth. Featured speakers include: <a href="http://sherylsever.com/2008/07/table-for-six-billion-please/">Judy Wickes</a>, (founder of BALLE),  <a href="www.jacobneedleman.com/">Jacob Needleman</a>, <a href="www.monthlyreview.org/mrzine/galbraith270209.html">James K. Galbraith</a>,<a href="www.samkeen.com"> San Keen,</a> <a href="http://www.ownershipassociates.com/mcc-intro.shtm">Fred Freuddlich</a> &amp; Mikel Lezamiz (Mondragon Cooperative), US Rep. Lynne Woolsey, et al. Still investigating whether conference planners will be livestreaming.<br />
