[ChatAction] Seeking alignment in Cities Rising to best serve your / our intentions

Wed Dec 23 23:24:39 MST 2020

Dear Lesley,
I fear I may have been over-enthusiastic and generous - certainly I don't
mean to confuse our conveners or you. Knowing that you and Hilary will be
designing the After-Chat sessions on the fly while Beth and Marilyn are
presenting helps me to better imagine the process we will be part of.
Julie, Stan, Marcia, Kathryn, Franka, etc., and I are meeting to become
familiar with the AfterChat Zoom capabilities. And we will continue
spreading the word.

The addition I made to the ChatAction message was my intention to simply
offer Gaia's gift of Oh-Gs, Her Divine plan that supports their work, in a
form that could be enjoyed at their leisure during this holiday season. I
apologize if I overstepped.

Lesley, your presence will be missed at our private screening of Need To
Grow tomorrow night. Have a very merry and bright holiday season; may all
be blessed and gifted far past expectations.

Love and hugs,
Shannon
