If you enjoy this content, please consider giving a gift, either monthly or one-time. I live in a gift economy, so I freely give all of this content to you. I depend on your generosity so that I may live, and continue to do this. It takes many hours of contemplation, research, writing, and editing to bring this to you, and I hope it uplifts your life. I'm deeply grateful for your gift.
