Welcome. These are the places where ideas meet life — and where something real begins.
This space isn’t a résumé.
It’s not a portfolio of polished achievements.
It’s a living trail of small projects — creative, messy, faithful, hopeful — all rooted in community care and presence.
Some of these projects are finished.
Some are still growing.
Some barely existed until someone showed up.
You don’t need to read everything.
You don’t need to understand it all.
You’re invited to step into whatever draws your eye or your heart.
Why Small Projects Matter
Small projects change the world the way slow rivers carve canyons — not with noise, but with persistence.
Here you’ll find projects that:
- Respond to real need in the community
- Create connection, care, and participation
- Invite people in, not just observe them
- Blend creativity with compassion
- Start small but have deep echoes
Each post shows:
- What the project is
- How it began
- What is happening now
- What might come next
See What’s Possible
These stories are more than inspiration — they’re proof of possibility.
Explore and see what resonates with you:
- Community care and material support
- Creative and social design
- Church, neighbourhood, and care-based work
- Experiments that worked — and ones that didn’t
- Ideas that are still becoming
Each project is a doorway. Some lead to long stories. Some lead to short moments. Some lead to something still in motion.
Are You Thinking of a Small Project Too?
If you have an idea — even if it’s messy, half-formed, or unfinished — I want to hear it.
Maybe you:
- Have a small idea that could become a real community project
- Want to test something brave, creative, or practical
- See a need that’s not yet being met
- Want someone to help you shape the first steps
Let’s explore what’s possible together.
Read a few projects here first — it’ll show you the kinds of work I’m drawn to, the way I write about the process, and the kinds of collaborations that could grow into something meaningful.
How Collaborations Work
Here’s how we might begin:
- Start with your idea — short, authentic, honest.
- We talk through it — purpose, audience, context, first steps.
- We sketch a small beginning — just a few weeks or a first run.
- We learn as we go — no pressure for perfection.
Small projects succeed when they:
- Have purpose before polish
- Are manageable before massive
- Invite presence before performance

Not sure where to start?
Try reading:
- A project that speaks to you
- One that feels like something you’d like to do
- One that feels close to what you care about
And then reach out.
There’s no right way to start — only the way that draws you forward.

We started a Rock Band
What we did It started as basically just me and him. Two people with a big idea and not much else: “Let’s start a rock band.” A community centre came alongside us in a huge way. Their workers hired a musician to guide us, gave us space to rehearse, and even organised a radio spot…

We were given Free Shoes For the Poor and we gave them out
A small project that moves good, fitting shoes into the lives of people who need them—so they can walk without pain, shame, or fear of wearing out what they already have.
-
We shared free bread
A small, steady project that moves basic white bread and rolls into homes that need them—no forms, no proving, just food given with respect.

Projects in Motion- Explainer of Small Projects
This is where the work gathers—projects that began because something needed care. Some are finished. Some are still becoming. All of them matter to someone.

Trying Something Small
Not every idea arrives fully formed. Some come as a feeling. A question. A quiet sense that something might be worth trying — without any certainty about where it will lead. This small project exists to make room for those beginnings. Where this shows up This work often appears in conversation. Someone shares an idea…
