Yes! This is excellent. I decided some time ago to try a gifting economy, it has been an interesting journey so far. People are so suspicious of 'free' we seem to be conditioned to believe that free means worthless. But what has come back to me from unrelated people and situations has been amazing.
Here is the Substack I use for my gifting if you are interested in having a look. It isn't an open site for anyone to find - but if you are interested you can see some of the ideas I have come up with? You ask to subscribe and I approve it.
It has been interesting so far. What I have found is that being "the light that I want to see" has brought unexpected gifts from others. Goind out into the world trying to be the best version of myself that I can be seems to have changed my interactions with people in general. I do not have a television, I do not have social media except here on SS. Therefore I do not succumb to fear and despair that seems to be the best method of control that those in power have over us.
