Give and Take [ssl 323]

The Challenge of October is Ownership and the Theme for the Quarter is Give and Take. Here’s how we begin to explore and learn from each other.

It’s the final quarter of 2024 and it’s time we link arms and join forces to enrich each other spiritually in more concrete ways. 

I’ve set up a challenge.
It’s not very strenuous, but it’s a way to get us thinking, dialoguing, and moving toward better ways of being. Please, be a part of it. I explain that in the audio today.

In short, Patron supporters chip-in a bit each month to help me offset my expenses so I can continue creating. $1 to start. That’s it.

Supporting at $5 + entitles you to many posts, perks, and goodies that unlock once you begin. But, you can follow for free and see public posts and monthly Spiritual Challenges.
