Circular economy. Some may boast about this or that but I think this is another opportunity to exercise humility. Find basic food items locally and then help others get connected. Lead by example for your kids to emulate. They’re watching you 😊 This may seem a daunting prospect but really it can start simply and small. I’m still learning but I think this is the way. I’ve been working to onboard some local friends to bitcoin, to accept Lightning payments for food products I currently pay for in fiat. My goal has been to keep money in my local community (who need income!) as they produce food my family will consume. I look in my fridge and say: “what else can I live without or replace with something sourced locally?” Be encouraged if you’re a producer. Be encouraged if you’re trying to do the above like me. Be encouraged, but most of all keep going, keep pushing forward. In my previous work as a contractor I once paid a guy for some coaching. One of the best lessons for me was his comment: “80% of the people who want to do business with you don’t know about you yet.” And here we have nostr, and we can just do stuff.

Saturday I went to the secular religion gathering in Ann Arbor to watch grown men throw a leather thing around and get all excited about numbers and forcing each other to the ground. Once in a lifetime trip for my son and I, because we could still barely afford to go. Sat near the OSU marching band. 🎶 Stack sats or stack memories? It’s always the dilemma. Was a learning experience for he and I we will not forget, mostly excellent with some great teaching moments 👀😅 Always #homeschooling

Good morning friends

“The vexation of a fool is known at once, but the prudent ignores an insult.” Proverbs 12:16 ESV Notes: Self control is characteristic of the wise. The fool reacts too strongly and too soon, destroying relationships. The wise person leaves the way open for reconciliation. (The Reformation Study Bible)

Had a content creator friend tell me his audience is on TikTok, pretty sure that’s not my jam.
