Point Richmond
139 W. Richmond Ave.    Get off at Canal, 1st left, 2nd right to end at Garrard, left, then right on W. Richmond Ave., 2 blocks down on the left.

I just moved here, living in a wonderful home on the water and loving it! There are wonderful treasures ... shops and restaurants here, which I will  share about next email and/or when you drop by.
Nihou LoveTribe!
I've been back from China for a couple of weeks. China as I'm sure many of you have heard is building at an amazing pace. I've never seen so many high rises or lived so high in the sky! I was hosted and toasted ... 12 course meals, special "key to the City" evening, visiting Shanghai, Ningbo, Wuxi, Yeng Cheng and Hong Kong.
In Ningbo store names like Peace, Growth Love, PeaceBirds, Freethinker are the fashion of the times.
The peace sign is in ... the 60's have arrived! My favorite song was written on one of the windows ... IZ's version of What a Wonderful World.  And of course business is booming. The standard of living is going up on all levels ... not just the wealthy.
I had a great Halloween evening (it's very popular) with Georgina's dad, and my friend, Wayne, who started Calvert Socially Responsible Mutual Funds. He has been spending a lot of time in Asia, planting the seeds of socially responsible investing. I spent an evening in a Temple Park in Hong Kong with Wayne, Roshi Joan Halifax (there to teach) and our friend Kam (Mark) Sung who I stayed with. I got Kam a "magic" shirt from the Love Temple and he's been emailing me all the magical things that have unfolded as he wears it... fun!
I now appreciate what is happening in China much more ... from a global citizen view and through local eyes and hearts.
