Thank you everybody, so much, for all of your great helpful ideas. I think the first step I have to take, which I have taken is trying to get off of night shift work. I have applied for a transfer in my company to a daytime position (waiting to hear about it now). This will enable me to get back in touch with the outside world on daytime schedule. I has been difficult to do anything in volunteering while I have to sleep all day and work all night.

This town I am in is a population of only 20,000 people. It does not have a lot of options to it and we are on an island which cuts it off from the mainland of Canada so travel is quite lengthy. There are limited options here but I will try to get back into writing again. I corresponded with people before about ideas I had but I did not know how to break them down into step by step development to get them going, since I have not been in the position to do it before. Many people love my ideas, I did a proposal for a youth exchange at a forum for Rural development and the University picked up on my idea and began such a program. I also wrote to an economic developer about an idea for a tram system in our city and they loved it but I would have to attract investors and I have never done such a things before. I lack the knowledge of how to do it and in this small city, if you have an idea, you have to know how to go the rest of the way with an idea. Nobody else will run with an idea or mentor you. I am just a deli worker. I have never done sales pitches for business investors I wouldn't know the first thing involved in it.
Thanks for this!
