Nicole, thank you so much for these 5 articles. My husband and I read them together and discussed them over several days. We have been followers of your blog for many years now and know that you have written about these things many times before. We can’t help but feel that you expect a big event of some kind in the near future that will be a total shock to a lot of people and that is why you feel the urgency to bring it all together for us once again in this long piece. We believe your analysis is spot on and have tried to follow your advice. You are the best systems thinker we have found in our search for answers, so thanks again for all the time and energy you have put into helping others. You are greatly appreciated!
