HAPPY BIRTHDAY CREATIVE CHANGE MAKERS

Creative Change Makers is One

On December 11, 2008 Creative Change Makers was officially launched with about 30 inspired individuals who made contact with other change makers over fine food from The Locavore Stirling, and organic wine from Temple Bruer in Langhorne Creek, both in South Australia.

From that day we’ve steadily matured, but we’re still young and loving the journey of discovery.

Join us in celebrating a little local initiative which, thanks to the Web, has a global reach.

We’re doing it; with or without you. So join us if you dare.

To all Creative Change Makers….

Happy Birthday, you’re fab.

Caroline, Sienna & webmaster Steve

Temple Bruer Organic Wines

What’s Organic Wine?

When you’re next sniffing the woody bouquet and tasting the essence of spice in your favourite drop of wine, consider what else you might be imbibing.

David and Barbara Bruer are the founders of Temple Bruer winery situated on the ancient flood plain of the Angas and Bremer Rivers in South Australia’s Langhorne Creek. The temperate climate is people-friendly making it a perfect spot to grow grapes and attract tourists.

In 1973 David and Barbara Bruer saw the potential for growing grapes with minimal sprays and purchased 50 acres of flat land with sprawling gums and meandering tributaries.
Then twenty-years later it all changed.

Why Do We Pay Interest On Borrowed Money?

Is there a way we can pay for our basic needs - a home, fridge, TV and car - without having to pay back the principle and interest on our purchase?

Interest is the price we pay for the money we borrow. Those who lend us the money see themselves as giving up the advantage of having that cash – the liquidity advantage of money - so they charge a percentage on the principal loaned to us to compensate themselves for losing the benefit of having the cash to use.

So interest creates money for the lender without their actually producing anything for it. According to some thinkers, charging interest, or usury, violates natural law.

Awaken Your Uniqueness

Did you see the big Full Moon in the sky on Saturday night (30 Jan 2010)? Simply glamorous in true Leo style. It was a ‘perigree’ Full Moon - meaning it’s at its closest proximity to the Earth - why it’s so big and beautiful - and powerful too!

This is the biggest Full Moon of the year and with a potent beginning month to our wonderful 2010 - this augers a powerfully active, creative year. The time for sitting on the fence or in the deep comfy couch has come to an end.

A year of beginnings, of action, assertion and leadership. A time to take firm hold of the reins of our lives and with steady and intent purpose steer it to our heart’s desire.
