Visioning our Work

This is what employees at the Google Building in New York get to enjoy. Today we are visioning something even better for ourselves!

For Shirley: I get up in the morning, piddle around, drink a nice cup of organic Ecuadorian coffee, and think about how good it is to be alive. And then I get into my great little car and zip off to a work place that is fun, creative, interesting, and challenging. I see it as a large warehouse space filled with art projects, with a state of the art computer system, a hot tub, and other creative and interesting people whom I know and love. If I want to, I bring my dog - or my granddaughter - or a friend. At the end of the day, we all wind down with margaritas, or an ice cold Grolsh, and the hot tub. We laugh, we talk, we play, and money just pours in. It's not MY company, it's OUR company. We do what we do because we love it, we give generously of our time and talent because it feels so good to play in that way.

There!
That's my perfect job!

For Daniel: I wake up every morning in my beautiful bedroom in my beautiful house, which by the way is #80 Janssen Pl. I have a breakfast of, oh, probably Orange juice, yogurt and toast and egg whites. After getting dressed I go into my office/library and look over my busy schedule of appointments. Mostly meeting with artists, gallery openings and fund raisers. This is the busy but satisfying life of a philanthropist. Yep, my dream job is to give away money. To support artists and the arts, to give scholarships to interesting kids so they can live thier dreams etc...

I have dreamt of this job since I was a kid, really, and I know the opportunity to start living it is unfolding know.

For Melissa: The desires of my heart for my career are to be independent and creative, and to create something that is lasting and touches people's lives. I want to feel fulfilled by my work, and to have just the right amount of challenge. I want to have many streams of income. I want to enjoy harmony and clear communication with my coworkers, and to receive the credit and recognition that I deserve.

For Michelle: For my career I would love for my children to have awesome education, and for me to be able to do and sell art as well, abundantly so.

For Cindy: I want a job where I don't need the money - all financial things are taken care of regardless. I see myself setting my own hours, getting up without setting an alarm clock, going to work - maybe even working at my home - where there are lots of animals around and whatever work I'm doing involves animals and their well-being. This "job" makes me feel loved and appreciated and makes me feel that I am making my mark in the world, making a difference!
