LIPD - Comments Per Section:

Specification and Abstract
- I appreciate your focus on integration and synthesis, that's my focus right now also! Great work on zone 0 and then casting the intention of impact on others.
- The LIPD needed only be for one phase and cycle of OP's, yet it's fine you did two.
- Good overview of sections included.
- Wonderful to see you reflecting on feedback from previous OP - good tracking.
- I think you'll enjoy Pages for Mac, I actually use the blank publisher template for almost all of my graphical designs and publishing, even for a 32-page journal I used to do.

OP Planning - Core Report
- excellent opening context statement for this section - concise - good!
- Formatting on this page is choppy because of the subtitles - why does it say OP outlines above OP2 and then OP's above OP3? One idea to consider is upload pictures within text rather than in it's own title box. Just an idea.
- Great resources listed for each, I bet you could have listed more though if you spent a bit more time.
- For non-Gaia U observers of your portfolio, it would be good to add a sentence explaining OP 5, 6 and 10 (you say 10 but include 8) Also, it might be more clear to indicate the transition to your capstone year.
- Very stacked and creative to use Permaculture principles as theme for each OP - I see you're using Holmgren's principles - those are my favorite to use too.
- I like the diversity of your OP topics, I'm wondering at what your thematic might be when you graduate, having such an eclectic batch of projects? Have you given any thought to this? You do not need to decide that thematic focus until OP 3 of your capstone year. - - You have a very holistic approach to skill building, integration and where you focus your life energy. I'm excited to experience those next 2-years with you! Let me know how I can support you.
- Timeline is hard to read at size in portfolio and then when it's zoomed to readable size it is blurry.
- Watch your spelling, Autumn is spelled wrong in timeline and I saw some other errors earlier, like Pointing in first title page 1.

Projects and Plans - Core Report
- How do the projects fit into OP's? Project 3 explicit connection. If I were you, I'd add a statement in welcome text to this page indicating the connection between pages.
- I've always wanted to offer Permaculture courses in conjunction with my Yoga/spirtitual training. Excited to hear more about your Zen workshop.
- The Homesteading project is a large and long-term project. I look forward to learning more about your place and how you decided on that location.
- Herbalism/health clearly a passion of yours - I like the idea of you using your work in this to create a syllabus for a 2-day class.
- For this section, it would have benefited me to see categories described in each project, such as: project description, goals, objectives, next steps, skills, allies, etc… These are just examples. The paragraph format you provided answers a lot of this though I can't easily go back and compare for overlaps, nor can I easily harvest next steps or goals which might be useful to track for your overall progress/action plan. In the opening you say concrete plans to execute, yet the way you presented the material doesn't look or feel concrete, nor is it easy to grab content for execution. Nor is it an outline as you also refer to it as. Be cautious of the words you use to describe your offerings. It sets a tone/expectation. Just something to consider:) As it would take some time to turn this into a executable concrete outline, maybe consider changing your descriptive words in welcome sentence.
- Really like the timeline (milestone completion dates). Once again, I think you could note in the welcome message to this page a bit about the timeline - why did you include the dates for us, how did you come about them, how will you track them - there's at least one sentence that I think could help weave them more into the story. As integration is one of your themes right now, you may want to pay a bit more attention to how you're integrating the story you're casting out to the universe.

Skills Intentions and Interested - Core Report
- Good opening sentence. Explain what the 5 P's are as non-Gaia U folk and external reviewers not likely to know the language.
- Again, how's do these skill flexes fit into projects or OP's?
- Awesome workshops to teach, design and attend!
- Would love to see a bit more books/resources indicated.
- You want to write books - great! Would love to see one sentence description explaining the focus of each - what's Troilus & Cressida? Wow on the articles!! Where would you publish these - on a blog or in magazines?
Excellent skill flex spreadsheet!! Well done for adding an element of tracking and reflection, by adding the weighted values!

Supporting Evidence
- Love the mind maps! Very well done.
- I appreciate the Life Dreams and Broad Strokes- good core reflections on values/intentions
- Would love to hear more on the managing and tracking your progress. Tell me more about how you'll make decisions, how will you "let go", and is there anything here that you'll actually use as indicators for reflection - perhaps your skill flex values spreadsheet could be something you check in with quarterly or annually. The next LIPD you create I'd really like to see this more articulated.

Reflections
- Intending Life, I like the sound of that!
- I agree on being a generalist! Someone once said they use the word diverse-alist.
- How did you learn some of these you mention was my first question - and it's perfect that you linked each to a journal entry for more!
