Projects + Passions = Purpose
For twenty-plus years I founded my own cause marketing company, (mhowe.com) whereby I matched for-profit businesses with nonprofits. Executives satisfied unfilled passions into projects that gave them, their company, and their employees a profound sense of purpose. Clearly, a sense of purpose gives our life deeper meaning and so, I continue to create projects that do just that. Featured here are a few. Nearly 10 years ago my love and passion for our oceans, seas, rivers, and beyond created the No Plastic Tuesdays Challenge. Years prior I was a pivotal part of Heinz and Bumble ceasing to buy dolphin-tainted tuna and quite familiar with the massive pollution affecting marine life in general. The idea for No Plastic Tuesdays is simple and available for everyone to participate in—choose one day a week and refuse to buy anything in plastic. What happened as this campaign grew many discovered they could extend one day of no plastic to another day and another day . . . and another.
Monday Muse
My collection of quotes began at a very young age. I’d write them on scraps of paper, in my ‘diary’, and share them with anyone who would listen. Over the years my love for words and reading only grew, and eventually, I began sending Sunday evening email blasts to friends and clients, called Incidentals. Over the years Incidentals turned into my Stay True World social media posts, generally posted on Sundays. My idea was and is to share some provocation of musing, a consideration, a time-out if you will to simply reflect and stare out a window. All of the above has morphed into Monday’s Muse, my credo for posting quotes as best I can each Monday. Here are some matched with my images.
