A circle is the most primal and organic shape. It is mentioned throughout historical text, artistic works, and many concepts incorporate the shape and its attributes. A circle is a powerful image and often incorporated in icons and other graphical projects to show strength and completeness. Even in therapeutic treatments and counseling a circle has beneficial uses. The belief of the "Power of a Circle" crosses cultures and educational boundaries and religious and faith based theology.
I love the Latin word Radius, and when you think about it related to things or people involved with a circle it gives you an image like the Sun, with the Radiant arms expanding from the circle. Oh how powerful when this imagine is embraced into the ambitions and desires of people and when they build things and groups based on the inspiration and power of the Circle how beautiful and efficient. "Every point is the same distance from the center and each spoke or radii Radiates away from the center" The central point (mission of the group) is the connection of all the spokes and they point to and radiate out giving support and encouragement as they receive from the center.
This is the vision and mission of Bright Minds, Helping Hands and Holy Heats, Cedar Creek Creative Cooperative and even my Business, Uniquely Organized and Utilized.com because this is how I am and think, love and conduct myself. Are you similar, when then join in and add to the circle of friendship, creativity and productivity. If you want to join but don't know what you bring to the group, don't know how to be productive. Call me and let's have a consult and map out all your attributes and find your radiance :) it is there.... let's find it.
