good morning
it is spring for sure as things are changing and moving already the seeds that were planted three four two years ago are beginning to sprout
yesterday I got a call from the realtor that originally helped me purchase the land that makes up the center of the east and west gate
for those of you who do not want to scroll back through the original blogs here is the map of the property the darkened shaded area is the land that is still currently owned by BNSF burlington northern santa fe railroad who offered last year to let me buy that land at 32,000.00 which I declined as the purchase price was about ten times what I paid for the land we currently own which is the white left of shaded sort of corner to point part to the east of what is labeled 2nd avenue and on which the house is marked
so back to today I got a call from the realtor, the land around me to the west is owned by the old hiawatha pagent group here in town and they are giving their land to the city which owns the land east of the shaded strip and that land both really are / is park land so the proposal from the meeting I had this am with the realtor is to make a trade
the city is going to purchase the land from bnsf but they do not want the strip between my house and my neighbor but I do also I need to fence the property so that it can be developed into a spiritual retreat center and keep the currently unthinking dog walkers, dogs, children and people from the parks from coming onto the land I hold without permission and intent why because of liability issues which are very real because of trash which is at times insurmountable and because of hunters who play war games in that area at night and drug traffickers who also use that area at night
remember the goal of this land is to create a spiritual retreat center so it needs to have boundaries
back to the trade
I am willing to trade the point of the north land piece for the strip of smaller land between my house and the lower right corner property which is owned by the depot for a square foot by square foot exchange in addition to the city covering the cost of surveying the boundaries as well as them covering the cost of fencing between my property and theirs on three sides.
so a trade I think a good one the realtor is mucho for it which is good as he is and his family a long time cornerstone of this community and he is also mucho for me and us which is saying something relatives
so
what do we need to plan for? the cost of the title transfer and the cost of the fence on the front of the property
now is your chance and if you have forgotten about trust and vision and why it is that we are the ones who are responsible for the world we create and we are the ones who are responsible for changing what works from a thought or an emotion into a practice and a reality and being brave enough to live that reality then I invite you to watch this TED video
this woman is and has been living the future of our life and I am for her and for asking
so
I am asking you relatives for three things :
I need someone to take on the role of treasurer for this project
I need someone to become the social media director for this project
I need someone to pay for my internet so I can stay connected
we have a year according to the realtor (maybe less) so I need commitments for a year
solidarity and unwavering as you would like your future to unfold
this project will need someone to
which means setting up the donation web, the twitter and Facebook etc social media contact for donations updates and other project outreach links
the treasurer must be willing to set up the bank account or funding account and maintain its transparency anonymity of donors if requested and accountability to the team
the internet funding can be a person or a team of people it matters not to the end but it must be sustainable so that our connection is kept
so relatives now today the seed in the ground is stirring for almost two years I have been asking you to become gardeners of your lives so that we may change our world and for two years this project has been being laid as groundwork for the future
you may email me at thatwoman09@me.com, or at pipestone101@gmail.com
I need your expertise, your heart and your money so that this project becomes a rooted tree
best to you this day
I wondered what the spring would bring and if staying here was worth it or if it mattered to anyone other than the lightning strike beings and myself and lynne who paid for the internet for over a year and yes I find it matters
make a statement relatives invest
as a note of interest since this blog was begun there have been 5,354 views the audience is distributed as thus
with the current page views highest in France
so
if each page view had donated or did donate $1.00 per view we would already be at our goal, if they donated $10.00 purview not only would we be able to buy the land outright all of it and clean it up and fence it we would be able to begin the classes here
its an interesting thought isn't it
a small drop
makes big change
small change makes big impacts
so if you think you are not connected to the world think again you are
if you think you can't change the world we already have
and if you forgot what I look like or that I love you or what this land already has done
here
thanx
best
mary
