CLIFFORD

I enjoy being a part of creating a community with a high quality of life for “intelligent optimists” who enjoy sharing positive attitudes and picking up only good habits from each other! A community where “life-long learners” are following their bliss on their individual paths. A community where gardeners of all ages garden; where kids know where food comes from. Where awareness of the impact on health and the environment of chemicals, noises, thoughts, behaviors, and health practices informs the lifestyles. Where neighbors make time to be present with neighbors, create relationships, and enjoy sharing skills and ideas. Where folks respect each other, resolve their conflicts, and build trust. Where cooperation yields synergies in daily life so that we residents love our useful cohousing neighborhood, friendly “cohousing-family,” and enjoy an expanded sense of being “at home.”

• Interests: Health, right livelihood, balancing activity and meditation, intuition, and community building skills (consensus decision making, meeting facilitation, conflict resolution, and influence ability).
• Occupation: It seems like now is the right time for me to be an entrepreneur and build Kaleidoscope Village Cohousing Condominium—especially if I expect to ever have a cohousing lifestyle in Austin. My full time retirement “occupation” is with my companies, Cohousing Creation and KV Creation, which are getting Kaleidoscope Village Cohousing built.
