Welcome to my BLOG.

I want to share some of my observations of the world with you, with the idea that maybe we can make the world a better place.  The topics I hope to cover in the BLOG are diverse -- based on my experiences.

Some topics I hope to discuss include:

• Happiness - what makes a person happy?
• Earth Care - being a good steward of our environment
• Climate Change - my observations from my farm
• Permaculture - a framework/process/methodology for how to take care of our environment, and ourselves
• Personalities - the DISC personality profiles - who am I, who are you, and how can we get along better?
• Leadership - getting the job done and keeping the team together
• Wendell Berry's concept of "Exploiter vs Nurturer" - two ways of thinking
• The Farm - things I do and see at Bear Butte Gardens farm, near Sturgis, South Dakota

If you find any of these topic intriguing, then I invite you to follow my BLOG.  If you choose to comment, please be nice.

Thank you.

Rick
