Wonderful news Jm! Well deserved with all you invest!✨

Really love them - so appealing / inviting with also a bit of mystery and mystical-ness / whimsy to add to the appeal!

Yes, @Jim has messaged me that the book is available to those of us reaching Level 5 - we can ask for a copy for ourselves (if we are interested in business) or to gift to a friend. @Deb Brouwer @Tracy Weiss

@Deb Brouwer Oh, interesting!

Thanks @Jim Ebbelaar - I appreciate your consideration. Helpful to know that flexibility has already been attempted, and we'll make do I'm sure.

Have I missed anything - are we meant to have prepared anything for the first session tomorrow? If we have done some of the Blueprint work, will this align with that work, so our work on the Blueprint's 'first week' will be looked at / revised this week? @Nadine Fargier @Deb Brouwer @Tracy Weiss

@MaryAnne Camaiani That's beautiful.... but you also come from a very beautiful country with strong indigenous links to the land - does that help your connection to Mother Nature to some degree?

@MaryAnne Camaiani I think those of us with 'coloniser' ancestry ALL need to 'do better', as these patterns continue, even generations later :( In NZ / Aotearoa I think there was some benefit in the colonisation happening a bit later, when the British 'expansion' was being felt as costing too much in resources and management, and they were trying to pull back on claiming more territory. Settlers were going to NZ (along with sealers and traders and such) though, even with the government pulling back from that, so they were forced to send at least some representatives to protect (and manage) 'their people'. Also a few things contributed to some 'easier' cultural combining eg Maori having establised settlements; Maori women seeming beautiful (long-haired 'dusky maidens') to many Westerners - leading to a fair amount of intermarriage; Maori often adopting Christianity quite willingly with a lot of curiosity; and respect for Maori fierceness as fighters. We are very lucky that there has been more embracing of Te Ao Maori (the culture and world-view and language of Maori) before the language died out. But honouring and celebrating bi-culturalism is not upheld by everyone. Our current government has been undermining a lot of the gains that have been made over these past years, leading to a lot of concerns of back-sliding.
