About Me

My photo
Worcestershire & Cumbria, United Kingdom
I am a far-travelled outsider & real estate fashionista looking in at the human congregations that are The City of Birmingham and Cumbria. An original child returned to the Metropolis that has changed much, as have I. I promote local communities in the development projects that are likely to affect them most and encourage their voice, investment and greater influence. I hope I can some shed light, spread a little happiness and provoke some thought in all who deliberate, visit and spend time here. To those that are abusive, thank you for your contribution, for it to is also art in its own way.

An Impressive Family Award

TODAY: Kanu Hawaii has honoured the singer Jack and his wife Kim Johnson with a "Kuleana Award"! "Kuleana Awards" are given to individuals who have inspired change in others and in their community through their own demonstrations of Kuleana (Kuleana being the Hawaiian value of personal responsibility and accountability).

"As a team, Jack and Kim model stewardship, compassion, and living lightly on the earth. They live a simple lifestyle, eat from their own garden, and devote lots of quality time to their children and their North Shore community. Jack's music has introduced people around the world to island values of environmental stewardship and aloha, and profits from his tours support local and global environmental work. Kim has worked tirelessly to build the Kokua Hawai'i Foundation into a local institution that is committed, as she is, to positive, empowering approaches that educate keiki and build a more eco-conscious community."

Any suggestions for the terminolgy that might be used for a comparable characters deserving of a Brummie award: an HP Saucerer, A B***dy Bostin our kid' or perhaps my personal fave the more exotic 'Eez Oiroight e' is' Award
