"Collaborative Salvation"

+Doug Breitbart is responsible for such an eloquent means of expressing the profound difference people seem to be experiencing on G+.  Yes, it's social, but more than that, it's socially responsible interaction.  There's plenty of room for shenanigans, but even those have a level of sophistication that makes them enjoyable rather than offensive, most of the time.

Creative Tension + Organic Beauty = Collaborative Salvation.

Collaboration does not flourish in an atmosphere of mistrust.  Mutual respect is a vital component of any team effort.  Disagreement is not avoided, but welcomed when all parties respect each other.  Humility is essential; one may find that disagreement leads to a need for a change in personal outlook!  +Michael Josefowicz describes beneficial forms of disagreement as "a source of mutual learning and deeper connections."  +martin shervington has gotten to the top of the search pile by being open, generous, hardworking, and giving of his time.  

IF MY G+ SPACE WERE LAID OUT LIKE AN ELEGANT HOME, HOW WOULD IT LOOK?

In my quest to organize my G+ life, I have been considering various means of categorizing and prioritizing what's important to me, as I build up my courage to truly begin fundraising for my son's trip to Europe next summer.  The one I like best relates to the curation of my personal "G+ Culture."

"WHAT'S THE FLOOR PLAN?"

• LIVING ROOM = ACCOMPLISHMENT, ACHIEVEMENT
• KITCHEN = CREATIVITY, INSPIRATION
• DINING ROOM = CULTURE
• DEN = GOAL - SETTING
• BATH = CONTEMPLATION, RE-DEDICATION
• GARDEN = DEMOGRAPHICS, TARGET AUDIENCE
• LIBRARY = RESEARCH, MARKET ANALYSIS
• OFFICE = TARGETS, BENCHMARKS, METRICS, NETWORKING
• HOME THEATER = EDUCATION, ENTERTAINMENT, WORLDVIEW

• ARCHITECTURE = GOALS, PLANNING, PERSONAL/PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
• LANDSCAPING = COLLABORATION, NETWORKING
• PLUMBING = SECURITY, MOTIVATION, INNER DRIVE, ADAPTABILITY
• ELECTRICAL = CREATIVITY, PASSION, INNOVATION

REVENUE GENERATION = COTTAGE or CASTLE?

• MORTGAGE = SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION
• BANKING = AUTHOR RANK, INFLUENCE LEVEL
• FINANCE = NETWORKING, COLLABORATION, SELF - PROMOTION
• BUDGETING = TIME MANAGEMENT, FOCUS, SELF- DIRECTION
• RETIREMENT = LEGACY

If I organized my Plus Life along these lines, what would I create?  If my G+ home becomes part of a safe, known, welcoming community, how great would that be?
  

LaShandra Henry's Thanksgiving Pep Talk

G+ is fast becoming a social destination.  People come to The Plus for intellectual stimulation, informed conversation, and a few laughs along the way.  There is a real social consciousness that is not pushy, in-your-face, or preachy, and I like that.  The relationships that are formed here seem to be truly genuine.
