I think the pandemic allowed many people to experience the world in a different and better way, and that gave them the confidence to live a different kind of life. Perhaps that’s especially true of extroverts like me who never slowed down enough to turn inward until I had to. And now, that’s all I want.

I was listening to someone discuss the planetary aspects recently, and what you say is consistent to what seems to be going on. But, despite that, I also agree that more and more of us have finally had our fill of the “artificial” or the “synthetic” or the “virtual” and we want the true, the genuine, and the direct human experience. Look each other in the eye, hug each other deeply, go out to the garden and get our hands into the soil.

At the Sunday Morning spiritual circle I attended yesterday, the topic was the efforts to “be the peace” by someone originally from Africa. His thought was that peace begins at the bottom, not the top (meaning not the top of hierarchies). He was saying that most of the people (the government leaders, etc.) have been trained to be strong, courageous, persuasive, and relentless. But not trained in how to love. Wow. This is right along with what I’ve been thinking and saying for some time by now. And, I think, essentially, what you’re saying here. The most significant changes come from individual people, quietly deciding to change course on a daily basis.

i am definitely going to keep on this path!

PS…maybe the cost of a PO. BOX will pay for itself, if there are several others like me out there in your stack, but dont want auto payments either? Plus you keep your safety and privacy too? Big hugs from Michigan Monica. When I listen to you, on your videos, I wished we lived in the same hood. 😊

Thank you, i am 65 btw. In our crazy world maybe not make it public? Not to sound bossy, just dont want anything to happen to you! I like that you live in a walkable town, and not car dependent…we are working on that, and downsizing to a walkable town, so expenisve everywhere, with no kids, want independence as much as possible. Thx.

In my sphere, this is not new. What is new is the increased education about the nervous system and its care, and the understanding of what down-regulates it. The tools accessible to us now are proliferating. And some of them, like what I offer, really work.

Balcony picture update please? I remember your first pic of it. You were thinking of adding somethings to the balcony. 🪴😊

Haven’t done a thing on it yet I’m waiting for my chauffeur to take me to Lowe’s to buy plants. I’m in Central Virginia. It’s only just gotten warm enough to put anything out. So I imagine sometime this week we will go.
