She is probably going to kill me for doing this (RIP @Hell_Berta)......but I need to do something for them. I can't sit back and watch them burn themselves out.
I have an emergency that I would like my Twitter Family's #Help with.
I am worried about my friend Jenn and her co workers that run @HarvestHillsYYC.
They have run themselves ragged and need help.

She is at home recovering and her fellow board members and dedicated volunteers have picked up and helped.
But as I said I need everyone's help.
Anyways, to get to the point...My Point is: I need your #Help. #Calgary #YYC
63 #calls for #renthelp, #foodassistance, #utilityhelp. Even #evictionassistance. #Care
When they told me their reason for needing help, I have to admit that there were a few times that I cried right along side them while they talked.
I lost it. My husband and my kidlets just sat and stared at me #crying when my #son asked me what was #wrong.
My son then looked at me and with a serious face said:
"Mom, I love you but hate is a strong word."
I then started to laugh.
He then #asked me what could be done to #help. He asked this because he had #listened in on some of the calls and sat in his chair #stunned at some of the things he was hearing.
Please donate to @HarvestHillsYYC.
They need everyone's help to be able to continue to do what they do everyday.

After recorded music, the music itself became abundant and what became scarce was curation, distribution, and self space.

In the internet economy, what has become scarce are things like specific knowledge, rare & valuable skills, and great reputations.

I'm increasingly interested in the idea of "personal moats" in the context of careers.

Moats should be:
- Hard to learn and hard to do (but perhaps easier for you)
- Skills that are rare and valuable
- Legible
- Compounding over time
- Unique to your own talents & interests https://t.co/bB3k1YcH5b

- Many "awards"
- Twitter followers or general reach without "respect"
