Gaia!

Posted on Jan 15th, 2008 by Gaia Team : Gaia Team Gaia Team
Oh my goodness. What a day.

Welcome! (And welcome back.)

I was going to post a little note about the journey and the transition and what's next, but then got a note from dear Jessica, who's been on the team since pretty much day one (ask her about how she pestered Brian into a job... and take it from me that she's now absolutely indispensable :). She'd sent it to all of us on the Team, but it was so perfect, and so full of spirit and love and sweetness, that it seems wrong not to share it here. So here's her note...


Gaia!

Okay, I had to do this.

It’s our first birthday! Gaia (us too!) is about to jump into the big world and live with all the audacity, goodness, and passion we can muster. We’re gonna do it in purple & orange & paint brush strokes. We’re going to rock the world and provide quality tools and inspirational online & offline experience as we do it. Woohoo! Gaia is opening its eyes and facing the future like a wee giggly baby with saaweeet tech features and nifty purple drop-down menus ;)

Happy Birthday Everyone!

You are all amazing and I am so impressed by the dev team and this community... which already rocks. We’ve grown immensely, from the very beginning and over the past few months, and, from where I’m standing, this phase of the journey looks even more exciting than the last.

So, I wish Gaia a day of revelation, beauty, wisdom, brilliance, communing, discovery, and expansion. And, I wish Gaia a life filled with excellence, service, hope, creativity, vitality, thriving success and joy! It’s an honor to be on this ship.


Love & Big Purple Birthday Hats,
Jessica



Exactly.

:)

Love and hugs and we'll have a more detailed update soon. For now, I just want t say I feel like one of the luckiest human beings on the planet. I get to work with such amazing people, and within such an incredible community, and for such a beautiful cause. As Jessica said, we've only just begun.

* GAIA * Heart To Heart…

When I received Siona's letter yesterday I began to feel a bit sad that Zaadz was
coming to completion.
I kept waking up all night and checking to see if the transformation had begun.

Now that it's happened, I am HaPpY to see the new creation of GAIA and want to
thank Team Gaia for all the hard work.
It will take some time to settle in, but the transition has made me deeply
realize how wonderful a network we have here.

We are a real community of humanity, with beating hearts, feelings, hopes & dreams.

Brian, Thank YOU for all you did in creating Zaadz & I'm proud to be part of this
online neighborhood.

Let's Party!

With Love,

Ladybear

Will: I think you can call us whatever you want. I mean, Zaadz is always going to have a significant spot in my heart, and I love knowing that there's a community of 150,000 original community members (is it significant that we reached that number earlier today?) who'll always know the meaning of that odd little word. Zaadz. Gaia. Bob. I think what matters is that we're here. :)

Ladybear: Thank you. And I know just what you mean; I felt that same mixed sense writing it, of both sadness at a goodbye and enthusiasm and excitement and love for what's to come. Thank YOU for your own amazing heart.

And again, oh my GOODNESS what a day. It's been crazy behind the scenes here. We'll have myGaia ready tomorrow and we'll keep poking around for any glitchy links and missed bugs, but until then, thank you thank you thank you all so much for your patience and support and love and for being here.

I almost can't believe it myself. :)

I see it still says powered by zaadz, but it doesn't say the stuff on the bottom (100% organic, zaadz powered) just an observation. Also I wondered if the story behind the meaning of zaadz will still be on the site or not, hope it still will be. We are all zaadz here in gaia, here to grow and improve yourselfs and the world (gaia)

Noticed that, in spite of promises to be “sensitive” to those of us who might want to post “our” copyrighted stuff here, the GAIAM TOU (referencing number 11) were used, and the part that was early in Zaadz is not there.  Very disappointed….  not too sure I can comfortably stay on the basis of THOSE terms. :(….

I looooove it =)
How can I resist Earth and purple? ;-)

Question: I placed some links to Zaadz on other website pages…where will those links take the user? Do I have to redo them and link to Gaia?

Siona said

Gemstar: I apologize for that. The new terms are in the hands of our legal counsel; we were hoping to get them back before the launch today, but we're still waiting for the final approval. I can certainly send you a note when they're back; with any luck it'll be by the end of the week.

Kyle: We've left our original mission statement up (just click the 'mission' link in the footer). Because you're right: our story wouldn't be our story without honoring where we began.

This has always been an awesome site, but now…. think about all this love, all this purple and all this planetary light emmanating from this community out into the universe circling our globe and traveling lightyears into the galaxies as a beacon of hope for spirit and humanity. A truly magnificent birth and the stars in the sky are singing with joy for the path has been lain for worldwide peace in our lifetime! Namaste' Gaia, Namaste' ! PE

I love the word Namaste - I honour all that is holy in you, I honour all that is brave and beautiful and daring and innovative and loving and beautiful and fearless and wonderful. Namaste. Today is a really exciting, this birthday that we all are sharing and celebrating. Be proud, be happy and be just who you are. You have given us all a beautiful springboard. I am already jumping off into the great unknown sea ;-) Thank you to you, you team of Gaia… I am proud of you all, and am proud to be here, part of this beautiful place!

Namaste

ps. I say to you - thank you in 465 different languages, just because I can!
