Interdependence Day message from Darlene Green, founder of the Interdependent Project:What have we learned in the past three years in developing this project?
Interdependence is not easy....
It requires us to reprogram ourselves everyday and rethink every idea and belief system that we have been operating in up until now. These are challenging times for humanity, and the challenges are only going to increase. Fortunately for us, this will also mark a time of coming together in ways that we did not even consider possible before. Challenges have the potential to bring out the best of us as individuals, and as a unified collective.
The changes are happening so fast that looking for balance is a moot point, and all we can do is ride the wave of constant adaptation and recalibration. There have been many upheavals in the lives of everyone, including the members of the interdependent project. No matter how bleak or challenging it may seem to go through this constant change, the fact that we are all together is a source of unending strength as everything (including the structure of this project) dies and is reborn over and over and over again.
When we look back at what our plans were at the beginning of this journey, and how many mutations that has gone through, with the only constant being our intent, its hard to hold back the tears as we remember the challenges and obstacles we have grown through continually having to overcome.
On this day, the first global Interdependence Day, I invite you all to find your Interdependent tribe and let them know just how much their presence has meant in your life. I know that I would not be the person I am today if it was not for everyone connected to this project. Even those who tried to embrace interdependence but were unable to make that final leap have taught me many lessons and contributed to my sense of calm unity (community) more than they could ever imagine. To all of you who have supported this project, thank you, and happy Interdependence Day 2009.

And thank you Daniel for starting this project! My involvement has indeed taught me a great deal in a short amount of time, and I sincerely and lovingly appreciate the work that has gone into IP. You guys have inspired me and given me all the more purpose for what I am doing. The interconnections that have arisen in my life since joining the IP team have been synchronistic, powerful, and have added so much to my learning experience. Thank you guys for being you, for reaching out to me, and for welcoming me into the fold. I love being interdependent with you all....
