Before We Throw It Away

 


What if NDG became a neighbourhood where we repaired things together instead of simply replacing them?

Imagine a Saturday morning at a local community centre.

A retired electrician is helping someone repair a lamp. A grandmother is teaching a young person how to mend a favourite jacket. Someone who knows bicycles is showing a child how to fix a flat tire.

Coffee is brewing. People are laughing. New friendships are forming.

And things that might otherwise have ended up in the garbage are being given another chance.

Welcome to the NDG Repair Circle!

Sharing Skills, Building Community

I love the idea of neighbours gathering regularly to share their knowledge and practical skills.

Some people know how to sew. Others understand computers, woodworking, bicycles or household repairs.

Imagine bringing these people together for a few hours each month, with appropriate tools and safety precautions.

We would save money, reduce waste, learn useful skills and discover talents within our community that might otherwise remain hidden.

But something even more wonderful could happen.

People who arrived needing help might leave feeling they have something valuable to offer someone else.

Today's A NuVo World Challenge

Think about one practical skill you possess that might help a neighbour.

Could you teach someone? Fix something? Show a young person how to do something useful?

Perhaps you could even help organize NDG's first neighbourhood Repair Circle!

My vision for A NuVo World is a community where our greatest resources aren't always the things we own.

They're the people we have around us.

One repaired treasure. One shared skill. One stronger NDG.

A NuVo World — Transforming NDG Together

Same Neighbourhood. A Kinder Tomorrow.

Let Go and Let God.

Heaven Right Here on Somerled (and elsewhere!)

Image
There are places on this earth where the veil is thinner, where the air seems to shimmer with something more than oxygen — where Heaven leans in and whispers, I have already begun. I did not always know this. But I began learning it on a mountain with God — December 25 to 31, 2003 — seven days, seven Says, seven revelations burned into my heart like coordinates on a spiritual map. A time when I understood, not theoretically but viscerally, that Heaven was not a far-off prize but a present possibility… a Kingdom that desires to erupt right where we stand , if only we allow ourselves to see. More than twenty years later, that truth still unfolds in front of me in the most unlikely ways. In NDG. On Somerled. Between two storefronts. In the witness of strangers who don't yet know they’re angels. And most recently, in the story of another Montrealer whose quest echoes my own: Ashkan Karbasfrooshan — founder of WatchMojo , architect of Context Is King , and now a surprising figure in th...

From Moneyed to Moneyless

The G3 Limitless Debit Card and the Birth of a NuVo World There are moments in history when humanity doesn’t simply turn a page — it turns a corner. Quietly, almost imperceptibly at first, and yet with the unmistakable gravity of destiny gathering itself for a leap. What we are building through the G3 Limitless Debit Card is precisely such a moment. It is not just a new product. Not simply a tool. Not a financial instrument. It is the hinge on which an entire world will swing open. It is the gateway to a Moneyless Economy , the architecture for a new society, and the first spark of a NuVo world — a world where every life has enough, every person belongs, and every community thrives without the tyranny of currency. And like all revolutions that endure, it begins one community at a time. Phase One: The Endowment — A People Empowered, A Community Transformed Imagine a neighbourhood — NDG, Somerled, Côte-des-Neiges, wherever the Spirit breathes — waking up one morning to discover that ...

Vision for St. Jacques Street - NDG NDG & Montreal   A Heaven-on-Earth Vision Beginning January 1, 2026 Written in Noel’s Pen On January 1, 2026, the calendar does not merely turn a page. It opens a gate. That morning, light falls differently on the world—not because the sun has changed, but because humanity has. A quiet agreement has been reached across the human family: there is enough . Enough creativity. Enough provision. Enough love. Enough God-breathed abundance to end the age of limitation forever. This is the dawn of NuVo World . And it all begins with NDG . NDG: The Seed That Breaks the Ground NDG is not a company. It is a covenant. A living, breathing declaration that human value was never meant to be measured by money, productivity quotas, or survival anxiety. NDG becomes the first proof-of-life for a MoneyLess Society —not the absence of value, but the fulfillment of it. NDG stands as the root system beneath NuVo World. It feeds everything: housing, transportation, ...
