Suzi asked me if I’d seen this. I hadn’t looked in maybe five years. And five years ago it would have read the US, Great Britain, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
But that now seems equally balanced with other countries tuning in to the conversation.
I’m highly gratified and welcome all newcomers.
That’s how Michael wanted it: For word of mouth to spread, for it to be grassroots and yet span the dimensions. And of course behind it all is him tipping a book off the shelf or causing the site to come up in a search, inexplicably.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, we’ve raised 60 percent of our monthly needs, which Suzi tells me is a respectable goal to have reached by this time. The Mother wants us to seek donations from you because that completes the circle – allowing you to express your values, in this case tangibly.
And you have never left us stranded at sea.
If the urge arises, please go on over to the Hope Chest and make a one-time or monthly donation to the running of the blog, with our heartfelt gratitude.
