Mission Statement- To provide a fun and creative environment for everyone to come out & be !
- Vision Statment
- For all people of all ages throughout the world to take themselves more -ously
- Motto
- Keep it , Sweetie (KISS)
- Guilding Principles
- When being , it must be something you do to or with yourself; for example: wear a hat, say a word, say something about yourself, or do a walk. A group of you can be together as long as everyone is participating; for example, having everyone march down the road together while playing "Zippity Doo Dah" on kazoos would truly be .
- The act of being is to be free of capital gains or profit. Being is about BEING versus the merchandising or capitalization of .
- Keep it safe, legal and respective of others' pursuits of -ness. Being arrested or ending up in the hospital (or worse) is hardly being .
- Color
- Chartreuse...because who on earth knows what color it really is; and besides, it's a word to say.
- Runner up: Peuse...another color that's illusive. Personally I think it's a color that really stinks...as in...P-Use.
- Location (at least for those who understand English)
- Lake Titicaca (you have to ask?)
In all fairness to the people of Bolivia & Peru, it looks like a beautiful place...I would love to visit someday.
- My Dream
- To someday facilitate a session of the United Nations where all our world leaders gather together to sit on the floor and color with crayons and coloring books for 30 minutes (or longer, if they can behave themselves for that long)
- Things You Can Do or Say
- Take the pledge.
- Use instead of the s-words. Read more about this...
- Wear a hat while grocery shopping
- Develop a walk and then do it at random
- Give yourself a name. Having trouble coming up with one? Read Dav Pilkey's "Captain Underpants and the Perilous Plot of Professor Poopypants." In this book, Professor Poopypants makes everyone assume new names and presents a technique for creating your new name. An example? George W. Bush's new name is Goomer Waddleshorts. Can you image how it would be for Zippy Paddlebuttons (aka former Prime Minister Tony Blair) to welcome President Bush by saying, "Hey, Goomer. How are things across the pond'?" To which he'd reply "Just fine, Zippy. How are things in your neck of the wood." Maybe they could come up with a handshake.
- Say the word 'snort' in the middle of a conversation. Better yet, do a 'snort' in the middle of a conversation.
- Wear something to work, like a boa or a bright red clown nose.
- For women over 50, join a local chapter of The Red Hat Society. (Women under 50 can join, they have to wear a pink hat.)
- Watch a movie in the middle of the afternoon.
- Watch the old "3 Stooges" shows or "Marx Brothers" movies
- Watch just about any British comedy (of the Monty Python/Faulty Towers ilk). They have down to a science.
- Watch kids...they too know how to be
- Have karaoke night at your house and invite your neighbors/friends/relatives. Very bad singing is highly encouraged.
- Get a coloring book and start coloring.
- Like the title of a Loretta Laroche PBS special: "Life's too short — wear your party pants."
- Designate a 'secret word of the day' and whenever anyone says that word, applaud that person. And if you're feeling particularly , give that person a standing ovation.
- Before starting a staff meeting, do the "wave" around the table three times. I bet it turns out to be your most productive meeting ever!
