Obviously I’m catching up on some past private pods since becoming a Patreon supporter. Super excited to hear you stand up for the good RFK has done in his career as people strive to “other” him for having counter narrative views. So refreshing to hear love spread, instead of division.

There are many emails that I delete daily because I have subscriptions. I have unsubscribed to many in the past, but I have not, will not unsubscribe to yours. I had listened to the live version and realized it half way through, yet I continued to listen to the end. Sometimes additional insights come around which help to clear my head. Two points.I do not watch professional sporting events. I have some regalia, but not much. In fact, I do not purchase team sports items any longer. If someone wants to give something to me representing a team I may follow, great! I'll keep it for now. Second point, I do not touch or giveaway any of my wife's possessions. My minimalist journey is different from hers. I'm more agressive, she is more passive, and you know what? That's ok! We're both in different "places" when it comes to ridding our lives of useless possessions, useless, DVR recorded programs, etc. We'll get there. :-) Thanks guys! Keep it going! Sorry I missed you in DC. Weather was UGLY! Stay safe! Continued success!! :-)
