What’s your Red Rubber Ball?!

Over at my website - WYRRB?!  - students of all ages are putting their nose to the grindstone.  Why you ask?  They are inquiring into one of the most important existential questions you can ask: “What’s your Red Rubber Ball?!”   The boxes in these pictures are a part of the process that I engage groups with to deepen their inquiry regarding their red rubber ball?

What is that thing that you have the greatest passion for, that activity that you were born to take part in?  What is your calling?  What discipline seems to fit your talents like a glove?  If we don’t ask these sorts of questions, we may be sentencing ourselves to spirit killing endeavors that we were “convinced” we should strive for - rather than allowing them to spring forth from our own hearts and minds.

I would also like to promote another feature at WYRRB?! which is “Red Rubber Ball Stories.”  Read the stories of authors, adventurers and regular Jane’s who have found that thing.  Be one of those authors who tell us their stories in order to inspire others.  Use RRB Stories to inspire and be inspired!  Join us at WYRRB?!

BIG shout out to Yi Shun Lai for tracking down so many great stories.

Skateboarding has invaded Uganda, believe it or not?!

Our own sport for social change agent, Jessica L. (second from left),  made a recent visit to Uganda and discovered that skateboarding is not just an American exercise.

In fact, UG as Uganda is affectionately known, has its own Skate Boarding Union with website.

From my friend, my idol, Paulo Coelho:

“Dear readers,

I wish to make a virtual exhibition for the 100 Million Copies sold. And invite you to participate. 
Based on an idea that I saw in an exhibition in Aviles - dedicated to the 20th anniversary of my book The Alchemist -
I would like to extend it to the virtual space and invite you to take part.

The idea of this physical exhibition that I saw in Aviles (and that will be reproduced in Milan this week) is the following:
a reader would pose for a picture holding his/her favorite book of mine.
Please then take a picture of yourself holding your favorite book of mine and send to us.

You should include in your email your name and country and send it to the following email address:

.(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) (don’t worry about the quality).

My team will be up-loading the pictures in this page throughout the year.

Love
Paulo”

100 million inspiring, moving, provocative books authored by the ‘Crazy Magician.’  Mr. Coelho has conquered every continent, not with the sword, but with the well chosen word.  As one who gifts Paulo’s classic book, ‘The Alchemist’ at every opportunity, I can personally vouch for the fact that his books change lives.  A hearty congratulations to you, Sir, and I am confident that 200 million is right around the corner!

And one more thing: if you have - and I know that you do - a Coelho classic, take a digi photo and send it to the email address above and become a part of Paulo’s beautiful, global quilt.
