Seems to be a similar situation everywhere... my relatives back in Denmark are saying the same.

The pandemic was like a really severe "trigger" for a situation that was already not looking very good. What we've seen here in the US in the last year or so is making many people feel quite

Some of it is certainly by design, specifically the part where "they" say inflation is about 10%, but the reality when you get ready to pay for something at a shop is that the price is up by

We live in interesting times during which we increasingly see clashes between people's greed and the desire to "blame others" every time something doesn't go well. Clearly, trading in crypto

Interesting dream theme; interesting that it has been so extensively recurring. I'm no expert, but I do dream a lot and have been keeping a dream journal for over 30 years... started as a homework exercise

Beautiful photos! Yes, the heat in Spain in the summer can feel quite exhausting - I lived there as a teenager, and it was long before anyplace had air conditioning. Stay cool!

Well... I've got more than 20 years on you, and there was a time in my life when I spent the gross national product of a small nation on retreats and workshops and books, all in service of finding

With stamps, that would not fly, to be sure... Maybe crypto should never have called itself "currencies" and it might have bypassed the whole financial legal scrutiny!

I remember "colony gardens" from growing up in Copenhagen in Denmark. It was a great way for people living in apartments to get outside. Most had very elaborate shed/tiny house structures, and

Those puffballs bring back memories of my childhood! They would grow at the edge of the lawn, and when conditions were right they could quickly become the size of a volleyball... pure white and smooth

I love technology breaks! Although I work online, I grew up pre-Internet and with rotary phones. I have no difficulty setting down my phone and walking away! One of the reasons summer has become my favorite

Here in USA we are also seeing more and more exchanges excluding US users. Makes it very difficult to move crypto around. I currently use SimpleSwap to trade Hive to LTC which is very broadly available,

Indeed! In the end, the only people who really benefit have the least part of the process: the shareholders. As a consumer it makes me doubly grateful for our local farmers markets.

Six years is a long time in the online world! Well done, for hanging in there. I remind myself, from time to time, that this is my blog I am keeping here, and I am not a columnist under contract to some

The thing about community is that it gives social media staying power in ways a random but potentially large crowd alone cannot. I'm hopeful that LeoFinance will not only go far as its own community, but

Nice to see you back, Asher! The Engagement League has pretty much become a Hive institution so it was sad when it suddenly dropped off the radar. But I totally get needing to take a break now and then!

Bureaucracy is usually just a monumental waste of time and resources... primarily designed to keep some civil servant in a job! I don't know about Portugal, but my parents passed away in Spain and the

What heartbreaking news @lizelle, but thanks for sharing this lovely tribute. Condolences to @fionasfavourites from both myself and @cosmictriage... I cannot imagine the grief of losing your life partner.

Transhumanism? I'm less worried about the "people vs. technology" equation than I am about the "people vs. PROFIT" equation. And not in a conspiracy theory sort of way, but simply from

I think a large part of being at peace with your life challenges is to simply accept and manage things as best you can... no need to be all bitter and put out. Honestly, I don't think a lot about birthdays
