Thanks @minismallholding. I loved there for 12 years as a child and 2 as an adult. I would love to hear about your life as well!

It was great to meet you and welcome back!

And it is oh so much fun!!

I have found that asking a question does not always indicate a desire for an answer. We have a culture where we learn that asking questions is a way to make conversation which is how we make ourselves

Thanks Jessi!

Thank you for sharing. Death can be so deeply intimate. It is a privilege to be given a window into this time.

WoooHooo!!! Thank you o07!

Can't wait to see the finished product!!!

I'm hoping to be there!

Thanks @choogirl! Great to be part of the team!

This is my brain after 4 days of being house bound with 2 sick kids.

I love the way that thinking about this makes my brain twist, but what I am left chewing on is the relation to blockchain in the realm of steemit. The possibility of preserving a multi-perspective,

Reading through your response above I can see how the differences in the way that we entered Australia would effect how we experience the culture. Where I came in to an almost socially preset environment,

This is true! But there is also the fact that the US established their country (war of independence) and and to a great degree their identity (the civil war) through armed conflict. So the root connection

I can definitely see the voting system having quite an effect on what Australian's expect from their politicians and the sense of ownership that is held as a result. Even though I'm not allowed to vote

I know the feeling of watching a show from the US and wincing as the characters allow successes to go to their head. It is actually on of the things that is pretty distinctive between US and Canadian culture.

A little dose of realism or a hefty grain of salt. What do you think it is about Australia that has developed this perspective? Do you think it is a benefit to the country?

I have heard quite a bit about Australia's low power distance within organizational structures. So that is what I think of when you mention staying humble. Maybe expressed as keeping a level playing field.

That's right!

Such useful advice for a green like me. I am learning about taking the step and just getting comments out there. I have been excited to find some really thought provoking and well presented content. And
