Inspired by the work of thefreehoodship.com, we’ve invited founder, Andrew Sullivan, to create a game just for us. You can interact today with Marketplace vendors, friends, and strangers; practice new tricks and tools to take back home; use your creative talent; and gain inspiration.

Mission #1 - Inspiration:
Saddle your steed and search the kingdom of Google for a quote about health or wealth by a famous person that reflects your mission of personal development!
Task: Post an image with a quote, a status update, or a picture of the quote in your own handwriting to the CRWC Health & Wealth Google+ Community.
Hashtag: #MissionInspire
Mission #2: Creativity:
For many poets and artists, the soul and nature are our two greatest teachers. First, find an imaginative way to connect with nature around you -- you might have to search it out -- and then listen to what’s inside your heart for a few minutes. Finally, draw a picture or write a haiku inspired by this experience!
Task: Share your picture or haiku with the CRWC Google+ Health and Wealth Community by posting either as well as a picture of yourself with your best creative face.
Hashtag: #MissionCreate
Mission #3: Gratitude:
It’s all the rage, and let’s make it stay that way. Just when you feel there is a lull in the excitement of the Conference, look for someone who is not smiling. Approach this someone and ask her about three things for which she is grateful (Data and our own experience show that gratitude is a significant factor in well-being)
Task: Take a mobile video and upload it, or post 3 things that your new friend is grateful for to the CRWC Google+ Health and Wealth Community.
Hashtag: #MissionGratitude
Mission #4: Wisdom:
No need today to climb to the top of a mountain for enlightenment. Find a health or wealth oracle at the conference (it can be anyone) and ask her to share her top two tips for a woman’s health and/or financial well-being.
Task: Find a panelist, vendor, friend, or stranger and share what they tell you with the CRWC Google+ Health and Wealth Community. You can post as a status update, or a mobile video of your interviewee!
Hashtag: #MissionWisdom
Mission #5: Breath:
Participate in the yoga flash mob that semi-spontaneously self-organizes during the day -- all abilities welcomed, invited, and celebrated. Ask people in yoga gear when it’s happening.
Task: Share a photo or video of yourself participating with others in the yoga flash mob.
Hashtag: #MissionBreathe
Mission #6: Mindfulness:
Take advantage of the resources around you! Sign up for at least one mobile app on your mobile/smart phone device from Marketplace vendors for health or wealth; or learn a new physical move (e.g. yoga or Zumba); or register for a financial planning class.
Task: Be sure to share which mobile app you signed up for with the CRWC Google+ Health and Wealth Community. Take a screenshot of the new mobile app on your phone; a picture of yourself registering for a class, or a picture of yourself demonstrating your new moves!
Hashtag #MissionUtilize
Mission #7: Abundance:
Join the growing gift economy. Find a vendor in the marketplace who donates to a cause with each purchase and purchase an item, or buy lunch for another participant, or do something generous from your own imagination. Task: Snap a photo at the vendor’s booth and post a picture of yourself with the new item to CRWC Google+ Health and Wealth Community. Or, post a picture of some other act of generosity.
Hashtag: #MissionPayItForward
Mission #8: Connection:
Hug at least five women, three of whom were born in three different decades.
Task: Share a photo or video of yourself with your fellow conference-goers to the CRWC Google+ Health and Wealth Community. Make sure you capture that hugging as it happens -- a hugging selfie, perhaps.
Hashtag: #MissionConnect
Mission #9: Laughter:
Because common sense and science have shown that laughter is healing, share a picture of yourself with a friend or group of friends making funny faces. Visit the Giggle and Laugh Booth if you need assistance.
Task: Share this photo with the CRWC Google+ Health and Wealth Community.
Hashtag: #MissionLaugh
Mission #10: Appreciation:
Who are the people who have made this conference/adventure possible not only for you individually but for all of us collectively? What great people! Why not then take the opportunity to thank the folks at Healthcorps and Eskaton – all of this was their doing. You can find them at their booths; make them blush with your effusive thanks!
Task: Share a both photo of yourself in front of the Healthcorps or Eskaton booth and a brief note of thanks to the CRWC Google+ Health and Wealth Community.
Hashtag: #MissionAppreciate
