That is awesome!!! Congratulations. I wish you luck, but only as a courtesy

... (as in, you won't need luck, you have a brain - and a high functioning one at that - and clearly great writing and communication skills - but throwing some luck your way too can't hurt, even if you won't need it... 😉😁)!

So go kick some arse! We appreciate you, and in total gratitude, thankful for all you do!

🙏💜🕯️

Absolutely...

And perhaps a quick read through this is of interest...

I'm digging deeper into this regulation Z as it pertains to me, an American, specifically, a Mainer, and certainly now that I have changed my status, am part of the general public... So the fact I wasn't offered my regulation Z exemption needs to be remedied.

Yeah, thanks for introducing me to this info, which I did not previously know about. I will take a look at this.

Go Karen! You are a much needed voice. I wish I lived closer - I would attend. I listen to 21Wire too. Alternative voices keep me from walking off the ledge from despair. Your writing and thoughts have helped a great deal. And you are an artist too! So talented. Keep going.....

Knowing that my writing helps people from walking off the ledge keeps me going, for sure! You all help me, too. Thanks for the encouragement!

I’m doing such an event tomorrow in Ireland. It’s great to see all these new communities forming.

Oh, that's great!

Yes, this is one of the most encouraging developments, alternate communities. Hopefully we see more of them in the fields of food, energy, medicine, education, finance, as well as writing.

Hope!

I concur with Rocket. Do you have more information about the conference and where it will be held?

Expand full comment

I discovered it's for invitees. I hope there will be opportunities in the future to meet my readers.

Hey Karen, Can you post the info on this conference. Can "regular" people attend? I don't live far from Santa Fe and I would love to see you in person.

Hi. I actually am not sure. I will check and see if it's for the public.

So, from what I understand, this is for invitees only, just a small group of journalists. I hope there will be opportunities in the future where I can meet my readers.

Oh. Bummer!

I'll just have to cheer you on from 50 miles away. Give us a good report, just not too long. I won't have 10 days to read it. Lol!

Best of luck.
