Love is Worth Creating
On 11-22-11 we shared an idea at our Axon Gathering #5 that was inspired by a problem, the mother of invention, as it's said. In creating the thank you list of supports for this website, we realized we were missing a large number of friends who had come to our previous Axon Gatherings and generously put some cash in our donation jar. How would we know who to thank if people were helping us with plain old anonymous cash?
So what if we asked them to write their name on the bill? Then in a flash of inspiration...what if asked them to write something important. My first thought was "Love is worth creating. neurokitchen.org"
Yes! We will know our supporters. And we know them even better if we ask them to share something important. We will ask them to write: __________ is worth __________ on a bill. We will collect the value of their statements and publish them on our website. Then we will deposit the not-so-anonymous cash and send into circulation where someone, a stranger will meet it.
If our supporter adds WORTH to their money, the stranger who receives the bill next may be inspired by the WORTH. The stranger may even be curious and visit our website. The stranger may become a friend. And thus our ever widening circle of collective intelligence grows. How's that for creating a new economy? We can all be creators of WORTH!
And how cool will it be when someday, somewhere you get some change, and in the margin of the bill maybe it says "Change is worth making. neurokitchen.org"

(for good measure, we use removable stickers so as not to damage the money or break any laws.)
Some of our favorite "Worths""Love is worth creating."
"Change is worth making." "Risks are worth taking." "Happiness is worth pursuing." "Ideas are worth seeking." |
"Friends are worth making."
"Compliments are worth giving." "Time is worth spending well." "Joy is worth sharing." "Moments are worth enjoying." |
