Learned: Some of what it will be to greet people into participating on the Emergent Commons (EC) platform. that the way to skip fees to move magic from Acct. A to Acct. B is by way of Coinbase, USD to PYPL, and the business acct has a smaller fee attached to transferring out. That “ManCrates.com” is a thing. 3.
3. Grateful for: Being warm enough; Noticing which foods make me feel well vs. feel unwell. Having the ability to stream music through the house without wires running behind everything. 3+1.
Seems: like I have forgotten a lot of the practices that “made me what I am”; like I’m going along fine, and then BAM, something happens again; like there isn’t any knowable way that “it is”; like life comes at me hard and fast, and I always need a longer break than I get; that my healthy choices still aren’t healthy for my situation; like completing with people can happen even when you never thought there was something to complete; like I used to be able to eat more than I can now. 3+1.
New Habit(s): black coffee for five weeks now and actually enjoying it, sometimes, at my desk, first thing most mornings. Going toward plant-based information for my body’s cells, allowing for some animal proteins as we change the pantry contents. When the tum feels queasy, can have a mellow, oat-milky fluffy coffee. Increase capacities slowly, and they might stick. Checking messages on EC. 3+2.
Accomplished: The Emergent Commons (EC) engagement. The contacting of medicare about a postcard scam in San Francisco (and their seeming taking it seriously). Various papers installed in the “Tower of Paper.” 3.
Thinking about: “The End of Indolence” game, which was made up by a friend, Sherri, who, as soon as she said it, started playing and winning. What I said about creating a “Forum on Emergent Commons” for people who will listen for it, and how I might schedule it, possibly after the end of the year, and even how it might double as a “welcome to the platform” event (at least for a while).
Reading: I have not read anything bound and published since October 31st. However,
New Section (to build rather than to update):
Ecology of Practices:
regular creation of “places to stand”
attitudes that support standing there
having a strong sense of who I am
maintaining an empowered context.
Being all like “I am Free to give, I receive more than I give.”
(ala good buddy Colleen S.)
I use Google calendar to guide my passing through “time”
I use Alexa to announce what is happening next (in three minutes)
If the next thing that is happening with another person, I go toward the minute it is to start willing to be clear and complete from the beginning of the conversation.
I listen for things to appear in the communication.
I listen for their greatness.
I may seem to gab and joke, but I also generate.
