Why Bamboo?
So why did I choose bamboo as my WordPress theme? Well, I have a vision of what my life will be like in the future and it includes bamboo. You see, my wife and I are planning on moving to Costa Rica and build and live in our dream home. Part of that dream home is a little courtyard off of the master bedroom surrounded by a high bamboo hedge.
But that is not the only reason. I also like bamboo because it is so useful a plant. It is used for everything from food to construction. I like the idea of being resourceful and I have had the opportunity to be resourceful many times in my life and I can say without hesitation that those times prove to be some of the most memorable times in my life as well as the times in my life when I grew the most, personally, professionally and spiritually.
Yet there is still more. I like the colour of bamboo. That is to say that I like the colour green. I like the modern concept of “green living” and continue to make efforts to improve in that respect. And I am not ashamed to say that I like green in the monetary sense. I like money. I like to make money. I like to manage money. I like to spend money.
Money is a very important part of our lives, not in the sense that money itself is important, but what money can do. Used wisely, money can do amazing things for the people who hold it. Used generously, money can do amazing things for the people around the people who hold it.
Since this is my first real post, I would love to get your comments on my blog, my theme and my thoughts. Even better, I would love it if you would let others know by Tweeting them or telling them that you read in at Facebook, etc.
