They expelled the two black protesters, but not the white. Hope they run again in their own districts; they can't be expelled for the same reason, so they can protest again!

I don't want to sell shit.

I don't want to push people to do things.

I don't want to try to make you do things you're not ready to do or aren't comfortable doing because I need to sell shit and you won't pay me if I don't fix it for you. That doesn't work either.

This has been a long road but I had to get to a place where I realized that my message doesn't fit in a "traditional coaching model". Those traditional things that I've been doing don't work.

But my message does fit in a community of people who are simply interested in it and maybe want to understand it better for themselves on their own.

I suppose I started building that community here when I started sharing freely on a regular basis. I limited it to social media instead of just realizing that what I was doing here was the right way to do it. My message works the best when I simply offer it in community spaces freely.

It's an internal thing for me. It has intense value for me because it's how I healed me. It's how I heal me to do this day. It changed me in so many ways I can't even begin to explain it to you.

I'm a student of my own work. For as much as I try to teach it, I'm still learning it too. I kept my student card. I may play like I know what I'm talking about sometimes, but truthfully, I pull up a chair and learn like the rest of you every day of my life. That's what my Random Thoughts blog is all about. It's me as a student in my own life.

So I'm going to stop selling my perspective and message and ideas and just share it. If I'm honest about it, I'm tired of trying to sell something that doesn't need to be sold to have value. I don't want to do that anymore. So I'm not going to. I just want to write about what I know, what I'm learning, and what I'm experiencing. That's it.

I've set up a Patreon. I'm not selling it. There's is no carrot. It's me writing and sharing daily, much like I do here. I think I said it in the blog I wrote last night, if my social media feed and my Uncovering Your Reality blog had a baby, this is what it would be. The only difference in the tiers is your monetary commitment. I've just provided different price points, nothing else.

The only reason you come hang out with me on Patreon is because you want a community and you're interested in the message that I'm offering. You're not there because I need you to pay me. You're not there because there's some carrot or extra or bonus in it. You're just there because you want to be. The value is in the message itself, not in the bells and whistles I can create around it.

Anybody that knows me knows they can reach out and ask questions or gain advice anytime they want. I don't need Patreon. I don't need a website for that. If you want my perspective on things, you can have it. I give it freely. That won't change.

I don't think I could write a long enough post to explain all the pain I needed to heal to get to a place where I could make this okay for myself.

I had some very traditional ideas around what "business" needed to look like. I hung onto a lot of those for years. If you've been around for long enough, you'll know that I slowly dropped some things, but I've hung onto others. The thing that I hung onto the longest was the coaching/author model that I was using.

How many times does one person need to re-invent the same model before they realize it doesn't work?

Well, apparently a lot because I refused to admit that I needed to be different. There are those expectations again to fit into the box. And guess what? I don't fit in the dang box! It's time to stop trying to make myself fit.

No, I'm not quitting.

I'm just not trying to make it fit anymore.

If you're called, if you're interested, if you've been hanging around hoping I would figure this out, I'll put the link here along with the blog I wrote last night.

If not, that's okay too because I'll continue right here doing exactly what I've been doing for a while now. Why? Because I wouldn't have it any other way.

Love to all.

Della
