Life At Warp Speed Continues

First of all I want to be very, very clear that I am not complaining. It's just that coming at this time of life, when one thought one was on the the slow down curve to deterioration, to have something as stimulating, energizing and meaningful come into being is...well is just weird.

So just to give some context, since I've gotten back to the U.S. from Ghana, much has taken place that has given structure and focus to what we must do to give this opportunity a decent chance. Let's review what that is.

1. The very small sampling of hands-on consulting is indicating first, that the population of owner/entrepreneurs would be open to doing the work necessary to change and will benefit from it.
2. That implies a need to test much further and deeper
3. The implies the need for money
4. Rotary as good as it is at getting us into this situation and giving us credibility, is not going to be a fast source for those kinds of funds
5. Enter daughter #2 in her shining armor, on her gallant steed, with her knowledge of the U.S. government international grant funding program. With her advice and direction we are pointed toward creating our own not-for-profit entity and looking for grant funding from the US government
6. That of course requires a lot of organizational work. Fortunately, I have plenty of legal and accounting contacts to handle this in the U.S.
7. I am still working with a small group in Ghana to provide the same there
8. Working with our financial advisors we have come up with a way to do some of the funding ourselves. But this will only go so far. What we need is the equivalent of an angel investor for social programs.

Are you out of breath? I am. And on top of all that there is the actual work that would need to be done, how to do it, and how to make it culturally relevant.

And further, we have our on-going pleasure travel...so excited about our next trip which takes us to a part of the world that has intrigued me for a long time...my regular work which is going very well thank you very much...and on top of all that there is Wife's years long project of rebuilding her physical strength. The woman is so inspirational in her focus and accomplishment.

Honestly, who would think that in our 70's that our lives would become so dynamic?
