I've been following this subscription idea, hoping it would not come to pass. But it seems to have been decided that as of Oct 1 this will become a subscription-only service, and at that point I will no longer be here. For those who cannot pay, an invaluable resource and tool will have been taken from us. Ironically, those who will be collecting the money will be poorer, too.

A few of us in the Escondido area have begun to meet face-to-face. Only Jeff showed up for this morning's hike through sacred ground, but I hope to repeat this, and hope to spread the word about this wonderful place. In addition I am involved in nurturing two other adhoc groups of folks who are of like mind, wanting to move in a creative and constructive way through the Shift. Until it became clear we'd have to pay, I have been urging all my friends to check out Avalon. I will stop doing that, now.

I strongly feel that those of us within our geographic area need to network face-to-face as much as we can. Without this forum it will be much more difficult...I won't put my address and phone number here...but I work at Frazier Farms in Vista. A few of you have my cell phone. My name is Dave. I am following through every day on the ideas that have become part of me...I'm putting out the call for at least a few people in North County to take the effort to make the connection real. Then we can keep carrying it forward, not just in San Diego but everywhere.
