Members of the Rotary Club of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA, and other volunteers plant prairie grasses along the Milwaukee River. The club spearheaded an initiative to transform industrial land along the river into an arboretum. Members of the club have been active in habitat restoration efforts since the park opened in 2013.

Volunteer for different causes. This allows you to meet people from various backgrounds and learn new perspectives.
Spend time in different natural settings, such as mountains, forests, beaches, or deserts. Nature can inspire creativity and provide a fresh outlook.
Engage in activities you’ve never tried, such as pottery, woodworking, photography, or dance.
Visit places that are not typical tourist destinations. Experiencing unique environments can spark new ideas.
By integrating these diverse experiences into your life, you can continually stimulate your mind and foster a creative mindset.
In addition, it helps alleviate burnout. Challenging your mind to explore new and different ideas gives that hard-working part of your brain a vacation.

Happy New Year.
Question of the year 2024 – from 2023. What’s working for you?
I’m a list maker, so I’ll begin.
Working for me # 1 – Sleep Habit
I end every day writing a list, surprise, right? I write not just thinking about – it’s easy to go to bed and think oh, that went well or that was good. But writing it down and, in some cases, noting how that happened? When I write how I made that happen, I’m surprised to learn that I planted a seed a few days, weeks, or months ago, and the outcome started growing. The result is incredible, and I am grateful. The acknowledgment of that outcome is in my writing at night.
I write the three things I’m grateful for during the day. The results are fascinating.
1. Most importantly, I get a good night’s sleep. I haven’t stuffed my mind with useless trivia or negative thinking.
2. It helps me reflect on the things or circumstances I created to support that good part of the day and how I can repeat them.
Working for me #2 – Website Building
I am learning how to build my website again. Paul taught me in 2010 to develop my website from scratch. It served me well for many years. The new one is one in WordPress but with Elegant Themes and DIVI. I love it! I love working on it and figuring out the puzzle. Yes, it would be faster and easier if I hired someone to do that for me. But I’m not in a rush, and yet I am in a hurry. The joy of working on it outweighs the time it takes.
1. Learning Divi
2. Researching the best templates and methods of communication
Working for me #3 – Envisioning Possibilities
I have chosen a new set of words to define the purpose-driven vision workshop I’ve been doing for years. Although, many people find the terms interesting and exciting to follow, I was bored with the words.
I believe the concept is strong and still stands, but PDVB? Even the acronym looked stoggy.
Advanta Strategies is over 20 years old and it is my main business, this year I added a spark to it.
1. I purchased a new URL
2. Using Divi – created a website for people to sign up. www.envisioningpossibilities.com
