Take Control of Your Money and Your Life: Navigating the Transition
We've heard the bad news. Peak oil, peak gas, peak water, peak everything. Climate Change. And as for the economic meltdown, we hear stories every day about people losing their jobs and pensions and savings.
What's the good news? Is it that Obama's on the job? That the economy is "coming back"? Or is it what you can do in your personal economy and what your community can do to transition to a way of life that's rich, secure and prosperous - no matter what happens "out there"?
You can take steps--remarkably big ones, not just baby ones--towards anchoring sustainability in your daily life and towards preparing your community to weather the rapids of change. Hundreds of thousands of people and dozens of communities are living the future now--assessing their resources and making wise choices towards having enough of what we need over the long haul.
You can evaluate your life choices, from what you eat for breakfast to how you talk to your neighbors to mapping the food assets in your community, to see what actions make the most sense and make you truly happy.
Vicki Robin will share her wisdom based on her best selling book, Your Money or Your Life, her two years of work with Transition Whidbey in Washington State and on her other social change endeavors including helping source the Awakening the Dreamer Symposium, Conversation Cafes and Sustainable Seattle.

Vicki Robin is coauthor with Joe Dominguez of the international best-seller, Your Money or Your Life: Transforming Your Relationship With Money and Achieving Financial Independence (Viking Penguin, 1992, 1998), which she recently revised and updated for the 21st century with Monique Tilford (Penguin 2008).
This event is sponsored by GoLocal Sonoma and local Transition Town groups.
