Unreasonable

I just finished writing our first big grant and got asked by the grantor to define what makes us unreasonable at #OneSharedRoot based on the quote below:
"The reasonable person adapts themselves to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to themselves. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable person." -George Bernard Shaw

Here was my answer:
One Shared Root is unreasonable because we look past what others consider reality and design our world with unlimited potential. This community venture began with our son, who in spite of a life limiting disorder, approaches each day as if his spirit will live forever. He continues to inspire us all to challenge limitations and bravely pursue liberation.

We also just got our logo choices presented by our dear talented friends at Velocity. They are all amazing!!! Go to this link if you want to vote on them. We are interested in your opinion.


Lastly, our dear friend Melissa Pullon introduced us to this amazing gal who works with another Non Profit named FT4C, Fruit Trees for Community. It’s a program to strengthen the local community with the benefits of a bulk-order wholesale discount on a great assortment of berry, grape, and fruit trees that were hand-picked to do well in our climate. With every order over 3 trees, they will donate 1 fruit tree and every order over 12, they will donate 5 fruit trees in your name to any of the local participating organization you choose (#OneSharedRoot)! Check out their website: https://ft4c.org


The root just keeps growing….
