Dharma is my Karma

About Me

Professionally, I love being a part of activities that benefit people's lives. I have spent the past twenty years working with artists and arts communities. I also have a passion for helping people switch from traditional industrial economic practices to ecological commerce. I am not interested in business activities that exploit people or the environment. Please visit http://www.climatecrisis.net. On a personal note, people tell me I shine like a crystal. I have a natural ability to connect with people and I have faith in the links between all things. I believe that there are few coincidences and that almost every event has a purpose, or a lesson for us. I am positive by default, which shows itself as an enthusiasm that is completely contagious. I am upbeat and get others excited about what they are going to do. I am empathic to all beings and I sense the feelings of other people by imagining myself in others' lives or others' situations. I am an activator and I make things happen by turning thoughts into action. I believe in the power of now. I love the challenge of meeting new people and winning them over and I derive satisfaction from breaking the ice and making a connection with another person.Old friends who wish to see what I am upto check out http://www.jonathangerald.com or http://www.positivepossibilities.org
