I love how this is taking shape, and the different levels of contribution. Those places on the map are places I'd want to go. Will look forward to reading along and cheering along. I especially love your ultimate goal of reciprocity- to give back to Cheran. <3

So exciting that you're getting to shine some light on what is frequently seen as a shady area.

I like the way you are structuring this! What a fabulous adventure that we as readers can enjoy vicariously through you. And I also love the synchronicity surrounding you! I am interested in the pricing as well. Sounds as if you will address that in the next post. 💜

Thanks, Sue ... and yes, I will address "cost" in the next post. I am scratching my brain to find a way to make money not the prime consideration. I may scratch everything and start over. ;-) ... not the trip just that whole money thing.

Well, I have faith you will come up with a suitable plan. 💜

Well, in the meantime, I've dropped subscription to the minimum and put a ridiculous *sponsor* fee on with a note that allows anything below that. I've experienced "Buy me a coffee" tip jar idea and that seemed friendly. Thanks for sparking this since I've been wanting to find a way that makes sense and doesn't feel restrictive.

A sponsor fee isn't ridiculous, since money is definitely a way to support the cause!

Yes, but ... I deliberately put it at a ridiculous amount ($5,000) with the indication that people could enter any amount they want. ;-)

well, you never know, never wrong to manifest a fantastic amount! 💜

I'm glad you got this thought out. Your support categories (appearing at the very end - with no $ amounts) allow for a range of commitment & explain benefits. A statement such as this could be helpful: "Sounds great! Count me in at the _____ level."

I would fill that in and respond.

great idea! ... a poll! I'll put that in the next post which will spell out the agenda.
