I was saddened by the news of Paul Newman's death, but what a full life he had! There has been much discussion about social entrepreneurship lately, and in my opinion, Paul Newman was one of the first with all the good he has done with his "Newmans Own" enterprise--a company, which according to a statement he made, was started as a joke, but grew into a multi-million dollar business that continues to produce millions of dollars for charities.
He was the ultimate innerpreneur/social entrepreneur and the ultimate role model. He showed the world that it is possible to grow a successful business and use that success to contribute something positve to the world. I am thoroughly in awe and inspired. The example he has set for social entrepreneurship is a legacy that will stand the test of time.
May he rest in peace.

As more artists and bands are doing what they can to stay truly independent, a new business model is emerging to enable people to support and become a part of the growth of the artists and bands they love. For example, if people want to see a band go on tour and perform in their area, then there are new websites that allow people to raise the capital needed to make it happen. In essence, people are now becoming more involved in the success of the bands and artists they love. They are now becoming co-creators in the new business model--a sort of partnership where people are no longer passive bystanders, but active participants who can work together to make things happen faster.
Here are some samples of web sites that are emerging to facilitate the growth of this new business model:

Now, for my questions....
(1) What do you think about this new business model and (2) how many of you would consider becoming a part of something like this with artists and bands you love (for example, Legend Heart)?
Today, we received the awful news that a dear friend and loved community member, Wizard Man, passed away today. He was not only there for Legend Heart since the beginning, but he and Reno were friends since childhood. I will miss reading his posts and hearing about the keggers he had whenever there was a new episode of the podcast posted. I will keep him in my heart and in my prayers, as well as the rest of the Enforcer family who are surely mourning his loss tonight: Reno, George, John, Chip, Billy, and Margie. I am also sending my love to everyone in the community who knew and loved him. This surely has been one difficult month!
All Hail to the Wizard of Rock, as he spreads his wings at the toll of the bell!
All Hail to the Wizard of Rock! May he rock in the heavens while giving 'em hell!
Never take life or love for granted. Treasure friends and other loved ones each and every day. Live with passion and pursue life with purpose. I treasure and love every single friend I have here. When life deals out a lemon, you are the sugar that turns it to lemonade for me. I love you guys!
Hey everyone. We're going through some changes on the Legend Heart site. Just wanted to let you know it's under construction and we are making some improvements including some nice surprises. It will be back up soon.
Everyone has a dream...something they want to accomplish in life...a swan song of sorts. We want to know yours. Don't hold back, let your imagination take us to where you want to be in the future. What kind of person do you want to become and what special thing do you want to accomplish that will make the world a better place to live?
We believe that every human being has a purpose in life.
What is your purpose and what is your dream?

I’d like to introduce myself to you. My name is Marlene Marion and I am an Advanced EFT practitioner.
I just started a group on this site called Advanced EFT Healing Begins NOW, that I hope you will check out.
I know everyone is overwhelmed with Gee another group! However I think this will be fun and informative. This) is a very powerful and easy to use modality. As we are all Energy, everything is Energy and EFT deals directly with Energy Meridians, My success rate is off the charts in this weird but wonderful modality.
I feel an urgency as we are approaching 2012 and the importance to clear out our blockages (pain, diseases) so we have peace more fully anchored in our bodies, so we can more effectively project it out word. I work a little out of the box using Meditation, Angels, Intuition, EFT and Intention to give this added power.
I have helped many healers heal, because it’s always harder to heal yourself. I use video sessions, that you can use now to get started right away.
Please Join me and lets have some fun, The Healing Begins NOW isn't about time you worked on you! Here the link:

I have many EFT practitioners that have joined me in my quest on my other sites and they join right in. I love it!
This is just a 7 minute Video and can change your perception on why you have pain, disease, limiting belief’s, and energy blockages.
“Give love and unconditional acceptance to those you encounter, and notice what happens.”

"The thought manifests as the word. The word manifests as the deed. The deed develops into habit. And the habit hardens into character. So watch the thought and its ways with care. And let it spring from love, born out of concern for all beings." .

You are the moment sunlight breaks in through the darkness,
I am the eyesight to the very nearly blind;
You are the spirit of life that moves upon the waters,
I am the hope that's shared by every living kind;
You are the heartbeat pulsing life throughout the cosmos,
I am the fusion in the furnace of the sun;
You are the rock upon which rests our life's foundation,
I am the passion that makes the system run;
Together we're the outlet that brings forth all that is creation,
Together we are everything and we are everyone.
