Inspired by a conversation, turned blog post with Albert, I’ve also decided to share with you what’s going on behind the scenes here, and also offer you, dear reader, an opportunity to help grow The Middle Way. If you’re interested in knowing more, or wanting to help, please contact me.
I’m looking at getting a few more writes for the site, casual or regular, that share a similar influence. I’ve been talking to two friend, both who would offer different perspectives, but also both very qualified. One’s got a degree in psychology, the other is a life student, and sometimes formal Zen Student I’ve lived with. I’m also hoping to engage the services of a full time-writer/poet who is also a full time monastic. I’m also looking to you the reader, to turn writer. To engage further and speak your voice.
I’m looking at starting a print on demand magazine based on personal development and spirituality. This will become our feature blog-content, turned into a real world designed print magazine. A collection for all of us and our readers. A real tangible way of engaging with our huge community out there. And, we all gain an avenue of supporting ourselves through blogging and working together. There’s a few blogs expressing interest in collaborating. More interest may get things off the ground, or we might just run it from the blogs I’m talking to now.
I’m also looking at starting a print on demand t-shirt company, serving the Zen/Buddhist segment. Currently looking into names for the company, working on designs, and distribution models. This looks set to be a lot of fun.
There’s also been 1 or 2 people interested in advertising, but both pulled out. I’m really strict about advertising these days, I value you. This means nothing I don’t fully endorse won’t come up. Almost nothing fits this criteria. I can wait, I’ll continue to eat the costs 
I’ve also been talking a lot with people engaged on the street whilst I’m a photographer. I’ve also just completed a book review for Fiona’s A Small Stone, which will be posted as part of her ‘blog tour’ on July 31. I’m happy to be part-taking in this event. An excellent book that I enjoyed reading on holidays immensely.

Hi Wade,
Looking forward to hearing from the other writers.
My suggestion for the T-shirt company, Zen to a Tee.
Sounds good Wade! If you need anything at all from those of us supporting your cause from the other side of the planet, let me know!
I’d wish you the best of luck, but we’re not supposed to believe in that.
Soo…. best effort, right thought, and right mind!

Hey Wade,
You need anything Im happy to help mate. Keep it up!
To create a vision is the forst step to making it happen. As long as you are impeccable with your word, for yourself, everything you feel, believe and say will not go against your intent. Your plans will be realized so long as you take responsibility for your actions.
if you are ever looking for a guest post, I would be happy to contribute a piece that draws from Toltec, Buddhist or Taoist lines which all help me connect with Zen with gratitude.
Great Plans!!
I wish you the best with it and will be following what you do closely.
