“Its such a good point too, to take an observers approach is handy for so many things.”

★ Spotlighted from kelly mackin

“It also helps for listening, which while sounds easy is not.”

★ Spotlighted from kelly mackin

“Yes, while the book does point that out, and it does offer a way of thinking to get away from money, it does not offer a plan or transitions for getting money away from the picture.”

★ Spotlighted from kelly mackin

“so lets start with that.”

★ Spotlighted from kelly mackin

“If we can have a place where people can go and donate time to the community, in all ways, getting the donation of personal time.”

★ Spotlighted from kelly mackin
