This is dope. Thanks for posting.

I also love Derek Sivers. Also shout out to you for replying to my past emails promptly and kindly much like Derek Sivers.

Thanks Harry!

I caught the latter link on the NYT last week; I'll check out the first talk.

Lol at digital sainthood... I'm digitally promiscuous I guess πŸ˜‚ (as well as a sloppy archivist)).

I love sparking little flings when the mood strikes and the nodes I'm connected to are a gorgeous web of eclectic folks that I'm always learning something new from- yet I rarely feel any shame for not keeping up. I am pretty ruthless about deleting emails and I don't have active notifications for anything other than text messaging so I make a point to "do my rounds" or hold court somewhere any given day with whatever interest is alive that day/timeframe. But anyway, I still love every word of what you're sayin' ✨

The most important thing is that whatever we do in these realms brings connection, hope and joy, rather than gloom and distress... And there's many ways to get it right.

I'm allergic to conventional metrics of growth , and I love your invitations. I think I first found your newsletter while you were sharing chapters of the latest book. And that you responded! I'm not even into dirtbag life, but I adore a number who are (plus home/un/world schooling) and I live vicariously through y'all πŸ€ΈπŸΌπŸ’«
