I don’t think the US “healthcare” system really cares what gender you are.

Third time’s a charm. ✨

Mastered beautifully in time for Thanksgiving. Thanks to my Nana (chatGPT) for teaching me step by step 😭🙏🏽

Ha you’re too kind, it’s almost a pancake. I had ChatGPT help me troubleshoot and got a better one second time! I should have my mom send a photo of my first knitted hat…it was so horrible she saved it to laugh at 😂 and as a good reminder that everyone starts somewhere. 🙂

George Carlin said it best…”It's a big club, and you ain’t in it. You and I are not in the big club…. Because the owners of this country know the truth: it's called the American Dream, because you have to be asleep to believe it.”

Ditch the lawyers, pro se is the way.

Ditch the doctors (drug dealers) too.

Ditch the educators next.

Ditch the pastors, preachers and gurus.

And it goes without saying here to ditch the banks, right?

“Every generation’s gift is the thing that most threatens the previous generation’s survival strategy. That’s how healing works across time, each cohort arriving with the exact medicine that will break open the exact wound their predecessors are still protecting.”

Except from the linked article on Substack.

While I find it hard to have compassion for boomers sometimes, I choose to believe each generation has a mission + medicine as described by Jenna.

Oh, you think you’re patient?

Try starting a winery.

Just when you’re amped up to make a massive life change, ready to start the next chapter of your life, when you have all this momentum to do things, the only thing you can do is wait.

From the day I committed my life’s savings to starting Peony Lane to the day I made my first sale was two years.

That frustratingly long stretch of time was a gift I didn’t know I needed.

Before wine, I’d bounced between side projects where I lost steam quickly. I knew I wanted to start a business, and I knew I needed something that forced me to commit. I needed a forcing function that would make me step up into a role I knew I was capable of, but didn't have a reason to take on.

What I didn’t understand was how many sleepless nights, panic attacks, and moments of self-doubt came with it. Facing a real chance of failure head-on forced me to care. It pushed me past my limits and made me confront who I really was. That person wasn’t good enough, but could be.

Those two years of waiting became the foundation for everything that came next. I not only produced good wine on my first try, but also built the house I live in today and discovered Bitcoin.

I get asked how Bitcoin changed me. It didn’t. I changed me, and that change led me to Bitcoin.

I never really want to go through another time like that again, but I’m glad I did. If another one comes, I know I can handle it.

That stretch from 2019 to 2021 was the most important time of my life. It’s when I decided to step up instead of settle.

Proud of myself for that.

Damn what a story, especially considering the world events happening in 2020!

That’s some dope ass art.

No they did not. Just as I have not either because I haven’t been sky diving, to the North Pole, created inventions or a million other things.

Having kids is however, a life experience that will teach you lessons faster than anything else, in my opinion.

I’m not saying I am a superior human because of it, which it sounds like you are assuming.

And we would first need to establish parameters on how to measure “changing the world more” before deciding who changes the world more.

Sounds like you haven’t reproduced…yet. 🧡

I used to not want kids, now they are my everything. 🥰 I don’t think you get the full life experience without them.

Wow never thought I’d see the Northern Lights right outside my home! ✨

Gratitude for this delicious chicken goes to nostr:nprofile1qqsdc5c2cwyewwds3qn7nyquyhxvpze40kp5w5e2wev57n0hrwaerzgprpmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnrdakjuct4qyt8wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnswf5k6ctv9ehx2aqvvktc0, our crockpot pressure cooker, and ChatGPT for the step by step. 😋

I wish my ancestors passed down recipes and this type of knowledge but I am learning and will pass down to my daughter. 🙏🏽

Ok I need to contribute as well. Follow nostr:nprofile1qqsr0hwaxkxnppz6w5vma6xdaq3v5yw2825ctl0zwsc6qte2u6ckxaspzdmhxue69uhhyetvv9ukzcnvv5hx7un8qyv8wumn8ghj76ns9ec82unsd3jhyetvv9ujucm0d5pq30df and I’ll start posting there proof of our wins. Members are receiving refund checks from the IRS in record time 🥳 Plus a letter from the IRS confirming you are no longer required to file, once trust is setup. NOSTR needs to know US taxes are a scam.

Supposedly highly, highly guarded. I’d love to read accounts of someone making it there if you have them!

I should poison my son/daughter with synthetic toxic chemicals with possible side effects of death “for the greater good” instead of trusting God’s beautiful and perfect design?

I used to think like you too, until I became pregnant and tried to make sense of it 🙃 I hope you don’t take offense. 🙏🏽

I’m certain the more you learn, the less you will have that fear. Godspeed.

Yes that’s plausible….shame as an indicator of our moral compass, if you will.

What I’m trying to express is that when given an opportunity between shaming, belittling, judging or getting curious and offering compassion, I would in almost all scenarios choose love/compassion.

Now yes this is very nuanced. I can give a few examples.

I have a distinct memory from one of my figure skating competitions (somewhere around middle school age) where I completely let my nerves get the best of me and forgot my choreography. I was technically highly skilled so I managed to place 2nd. My coach took the trophy and said you should be ashamed of that performance. She was right. It was not even close to what my best was. She was teaching me a valuable lesson and she knew me well enough to pass shame.

It’s unfortunately common for mothers to shame other mothers for not breastfeeding or co-sleeping or not vaccinating or whatever. To me this is in the category of strangers just passing judgment and that is never the way. We never know what someone is going through, where they came from, what they’re carrying. Why on earth would you choose to add any negatively to anyone’s day?

Yes there are rare times I would deem shaming necessary. Situations when it seems that moral compass isn’t quite calibrated.

I do think internal shame (noun) will inherently be there and adding external shame (verb) only beats a dead horse so to say. We don’t know stranger’s resilience mentally, especially the state of society today. Constant external shame erodes self worth and a society full of low self worth individuals is not productive.

Generally, I don’t see shaming as solving anything. When the moral compass is missing I’d get curious on traumas, mineral or nutrient deficiencies and circumstances that shaped their worldview. Most people don’t want to do that because it’s not quick or as easy as passing shame. Choosing love, compassion, forgiveness and kindness isn’t always easy but the more you do it, the more it is. I mean have you ever seen one of those videos of a family forgiving the driver of a car that killed their loved one?! 😭

This got long but I hope clarifies my position and I left spirituality/religion out because that would have made it even longer.

Are we trying to get normies on NOSTR?

I don’t know about you, but shopping during COVID as a non-masker was actually a VIP experience. I remember going to an office store once and they saw my free breathing, uncovered face as such a threat they asked me what I needed and brought every option to me. I haven’t received that level of service ever again 😭

Also, the roads had so much less traffic! I had a piece of paper that said I was allowed to be out driving past curfew (BLM riots) because I was deemed an essential worker. 😭 I also sped like crazy because ironically I never saw a cop. I guess cops were afraid of the boogie man too. I’m going to find that paper I know I saved to show my kids someday and get it framed as a reminder of how insane 2020 was.

So yeah I’d rather let normies be normie….staying at home scared of the boogie man while we can go out and have fun racing in the streets! I think like anything, if you’re meant to find it, you will. And at the exact perfect time. 💖🐇🙏🏽

If you have to explain why decentralization is a good thing to a grown adult, it’s not worth my energy to convince them.

Wow makes sense why we get so many comments about our bright blue eyed babies! Most of my extended family is blue eyed. When my father passed his eyes were donated which creeps me out beyond belief….I immediately removed my ‘organ donor’ status after seeing first hand what that really means and I can only imagine if I really went down the rabbit hole.

I digress. I think it’s great that you made that decision.
