1- Specifications and Abstract

    This Learning Intentions and Pathway Design  (LIPD) Output Packet is a look into my future plans that are germinating or that I wish to sow. I chose to frame my plans using the Zones of Use/Interaction often seen in Permaculture. Recognizing that initially designing and managing myself and what is closest to me allows the rest of my visions to become a reality, I have put Zone 00 first, moving on to Zone 3 (Community) and Zone 5 (Global).

Using a variety of questions apropos my visions, support networks, limits, patterns, ideas, principles, actions, appreciations and reflections (see this page for specifics), I was able to demonstrate my wants and needs for each project. To plan each project, I used a mix of backcasting, the Eisenhower matrix, a "Now, Sooner, Later" approach, and the path of least resistance using my skill flexes as a guidance tool.

    My aim in designing my pathway is to clarify my vectors, trailblazing as it were. Opportunities present themselves frequently and I have unbendingly said "yes" when it pertains to assisting others. Whether I am seeking these projects or if fate and chance are toying with me is unclear. I have taken many roads at once that are now interwoven, entwined as a strong thread with which I can weave the fabric of my existence.
