Nothing sexy about it...
No sex or profanity (though I happen to adore both ), but this post is just a shameless plug about what I've been working on and working toward for years now. There are a lot of new DUers to whom I want to introduce myself and Wishadoo!
When you can spare a few minutes, please check out WISHADOO! (especially if you haven't done so in a while), where there is a lot going on. We've moved to a new server, had a complete site upgrade and overhaul since many of you saw it last. I literally JUST got a technical snafu resolved, so now I can blast with press releases, start sending out newsletters, etc.
At WISHADOO! there is a Wishlist (a "craigslist of compassion" , which DUers have used in the past; a Groups/Pages area for focused, ongoing discussion about topics of interest (they can be private, too); a directory where I'm trying to gather businesses and enterprises dedicated to Cooperation, Compassion, Community & Integrity; a marketplace and more, with more to come.
I've recently rolled out OUR COLLECTIVE GOOD, an online magazine with content to inspire, empower and hopefully generate thoughtful discussion, which can take place at Wishadoo (public comment areas always devolve into pure nastiness, even for the most benign of posts).
If you're on Facebook or Twitter, please connect!
Some of you may remember that Glenn Beck dissed Wishadoo on his show one day (along with other organizations dedicated to such ideals as "compassion" and "The Common Good." You should check it out for that reason and that reason alone. If he hated it, you'll probably love it!
I also posted about a Bag Garden fundraiser at the marketplace here at DU, to help with operating expenses. With Easter and Mother's Day just around the corner, maybe it will be of interest to some of you?

Our Collective Good is where we Manifest Wisdom. Wishadoo! is where we put it into Action.
