Gandhi Once Said

Gandhi once said that happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony. This fundamental philosophy rings true with directing a non-profit corporation. An organization that encompasses the way you live and feel. The bliss of being true to yourself. Clean and Green Campaign of Hawaii has become my montra. Be well, god bless, and live in the now.

1023

Got 1023 tax form in the mail today to file for 501c3. HOLY SHIST! the hype was dead on.well no rest for the weiry. Let's do it.,

Live In the Present

A non-profit is a model all business should strive for. A benefit not only on a consumer level but on all levels. Unfortunaltly thats not the way the world works, is it. In the words of Wu Tang Clan, " Money reules everything around me". Money drives the world and we're heading in the wrong direction. Thank god for those curagious few, those people that build churches, and rec-centers and give they're precious time to charity. Those people that still imagine life the way it should be, a gift. Live in the present and charish every moment.

So Much Beauty and Inspiration

Filed the articles of incorporation and with the attorney general. Now we're just waiting on the dreaded 1023 packet to come in the mail. I've heard horror stories about filing the IRS tax 1023 paper work since I had the idea of creating a nonprofit . One web sight even used it as a reason not to form a 501(c)(3) non-profit. The 1023 is thirty pages of IRS hell with each page more confusing than the last. But at last, I am immune. I go into all of this whole-heartedly and without confusion, fear, or pre-misconceptions. A musician friend of mine sings "Even now there's a time and place for better days". Tavana Mcmoore is one of the greatest musician/songwriters I've ever heard and I'm proud to say he's one of my best friends; but I'm gonna have to disagree with him. I couldn't imagine a better place to be or a better time to be there. I , as well as Tavana, live in Honolulu, Hawaii; a place of so much beauty and inspiration. So much in fact that I was inspired to form a nonprofit organization to help preserve the islands that we love so much. Clean and Green Campaign of Hawaii's mission is as follows:

MISSION: "Clean and Green Campaign of Hawaii is dedicated to promoting a positive impact on the environment through education, advocacy, art, group clean-up efforts, and recycling."

A charity built on the hope that very few can change the lives of many. Through the power of gods inspiration great things can be accomplished. It's going to be a long, hard, winding road; but with a lot of blood, sweat, and tears; great things will happen. In the beginning, I told myself that if even one life is changed for the better than we all would have succeeded. Well its safe to say a life has already changed......my own.

Until next time, God Bless

In The Beginning

In the Begining the idea of starting a non-profit corporation seemed so simple. It was the right decision. Everything seemed like it would just fall into place. This magical idea wasn't going to prove to be so simple, but through the trials and tribulations, ups and downs, and in betweens. In the midst of all the confusion awaits this holy feeling that everything is exactly the way it should be. That the pieces will fall leaving something, everything...bliss. The feeling of accomplishing what few do, to spend a life-time fulfilled. To give back to the place we love and leave it a little better than when we found it. The time is now, the place is here, the people are all around us, and everything is as it should be...wonderful.
