A NEW 💡 Idea

It’s your lucky day—not only because it’s March 17th, but because TODAY I’m sharing with you my brand NEW idea. But first, St. Patrick’s Day …

🍀 On our menu tonight …
1. Corn Beef & carrots
2. Roasted cabbage
3. Hasselback potatoes
4. LOTS of other green food!

Everything I currently do and have done for years to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day—ALL the fun traditions—were are one point in time an idea. And idea that I read about or heard or found on Pinterest. I LOVE what ideas become.

Ideas are powerful.
Ideas change the world.

Today I’m sharing FIVE things I think we ought to do with a NEW idea:

1. PLAY with it.

2. PROTECT it—but only for a time!

3. Give it PLACE (and space) in your heart and in your life to grow.

4. Make PLANS with it. Ask it LOTS of questions and write down the answers that come.

5. And finally, PUBLISH it.

That last one gets us, doesn’t it. Publishing an idea is a practice in vulnerability and so we think and say things like, “It’s not done yet or it’s too early, I need to perfect this idea” and what we can’t understand or don’t fully realize is that no idea fully develops in isolation. Ideas are finished AFTER they are publicly shared. It’s other people that help us progress and eventually perfect our ideas.

BIG and little ideas must be put into motion before they can make any waves! They must be exchanged with other idea-holders before they can be fully realized.

“If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange these apples then you and I will still each have one apple. But if you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will have two ideas.”

— George Bernard Shaw
