Mission statement

This is not really new, I think about and write about this sort of thing all the time, but I was thinking about how to define my mission statement.  Here I am in middle age, realizing that life is slipping by, and if there is something that I wanted to do while I was on this earth, I had better get to it.  Right now it seems like my mission is:

To eliminate poverty and violence by building communities in which people continually strive to grow in:

• treating others with respect, compassion, and kindness
• integrity
• knowledge, wisdom, and critical thinking
• sustainable living
• joy and playfulness
