Getting to Maybe: How the World Is ChangedA practical, inspirational, revolutionary guide to social innovation Many of us have a deep desire to make the world around us a better place. But often our good intentions are undermined by the fear that we are so insignificant in the big scheme of things that nothing we can do will actually help feed the world's hungry, fix the damage of a Hurricane Katrina or even get a healthy lunch program up and running in the local school.

A practical, inspirational, revolutionary guide to social innovation Many of us have a deep desire to make the world around us a better place. But often our good intentions are undermined by the fear that we are so insignificant in the big scheme of things that nothing we can do will actually help feed the world's hungry, fix the damage of a Hurricane Katrina or even get a healthy lunch program up and running in the local school. We tend to think that great social change is the province of heroes - an intimidating view of reality that keeps ordinary people on the couch. But extraordinary leaders such as Gandhi and even unlikely social activists such as Bob Geldof most often see themselves as harnessing the forces around them, rather than singlehandedly setting those forces in motion. The trick in any great social project - from the global fight against AIDS to working to eradicate poverty in a single Canadian city - is to stop looking at the discrete elements and start trying to understand the complex relationships between them. By studying fascinating real-life examples of social change through this systems-and-relationships lens, the authors of Getting to Maybe tease out the rules of engagement between volunteers, leaders, organizations and circumstance - between individuals and what Shakespeare called "the tide in the affairs of men." Getting to Maybe applies the insights of complexity theory and harvests the experiences of a wide range of people and organizations - including the ministers behind the Boston Miracle (and its aftermath); the Grameen Bank, in which one man's dream of micro-credit sparked a financial revolution for the world's poor; the efforts of a Canadian clothing designer to help transform the lives of Indigenous women and children; and many more - to lay out a brand new way of thinking about making change in communities, in business, and in the world.Binding Type: Paperback

MY NEW FAV!!!!
Size: 5.1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Shimmer Body Oil is hands down my new favorite! It leaves my skin feeling soft, hydrated, and with a beautiful shimmer that looks natural and radiant. The scent is amazing, and it absorbs quickly without feeling greasy. I’ve tried other body oils, but nothing compares to this one, don’t give me anything else! This is the best, and I’ll keep buying it again and again.

Moisturizes with simmer!
Size: 5.1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Not a lot of shimmer, which is a good thing when putting it on, thought it was going to be overwhelming from the bottle, but not. Moisturizes all day. Smell is strong in the beginning but dissipates after a while.

I caught a vibe!
Size: 5.1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Ok, so I love this oil. As a pool girlie I loved laying out and lathering this on. The smell is simply fantastic! The bottle actually caught thy eye of a few sparkle girlies too by the pool and wanted to know where I got it. For a second I felt cool so, it’s five stars for me for setting a vibe and being the cool girl at the pool, with the sparkle and the great smelling skin!

Great lotion for very dry skin
Style: Updated Formula
I had a laser done on my face and the products they gave me weren't working. This came highly recommended so I gave it a try. I'm very glad I did! It moisturized my face really well without appearing greasy.
I used the rest when my face got dry from winter (in th midwest).
Felt very rich and smooth. Medium thickness.
