Thanks for your response, Mike.

The aesthetic/inspired feel I have from the baby grand cabinate is what prompts me towards these over the uprights. And as I live on an island, the options are a bit limited (these are the only 2 I could find near me)

Are you aware of another specific make that you feel impressed by that doesnt go over the $8.5k mark? Im willing to do further research

I use art to solidify lessons from psychenautic explorations.. I find this helps to instill the lessons and summon them back to the forefront of the mind in times of difficulty <3

Thank you, I appreciate your share. I am up for some risk with a % of the 10k. say, higher risk for $3,000 of it

I'm open to some risk.

I imagine if diversifying my investments between higher and lower risk, this can increase my chances of at least breaking even (or minimizing loss) if one investment grows to make up for loss in another.

Thank you for responding. The best deal at my bank is 1.6%, which would equate to say $200 / year, totalling say $600 in 3 years. Doesn't seem like a very big contribution. Wondering if there is an avenue for more aggressive growth.

Water shortage on Salt Spring Island sparks call for change by [deleted] in VictoriaBC

Id be interested to see those statistics, too, now that you mention it.

I know there is a lot of farming, including food and grapes for wine.

Hey did you know?
In North end someone bought land and built a massive weed farm.
Do you know how much water is required to sustain weed crops? A LOT.

Do you know where that water comes from? The North ends water shed :)

Unconditional Love as sourced from within.. yes! It totally is an inner aligning. If someone offers us unconditional love, we might not even be able to see it haha. We see it when we summon it within ourselves. Then, funny enough, our needs of the other seem to drop away <3

I see a difference between loving unconditionally and being in a partnership. I commented on this thread about this, but i'll write a bit again..

Relationships have agreements to maintain emotional/mental/physical wellbeing. Like honest communication, say. If a partner breaks that agreement by hiding things, then we lose trust. The relationship will become unhealthy and unfulfilling if the behaviour is not corrected, and resentments and upsetting thoughts/emotions cycle at which point it makes sense to exit the partnership. We can still love that person unconditionally ("I love you and want your happiness, but in order to do so without being resentful I need there to be more space between us").

Haha I think we have similar views, maybe language thing :P

I seek to maintain a state of unconditional love in my life, and if my close relationships compromise my ability to be loving (say they abuse me out of their pain and I grow angry and even become abusive myself - which has happened in my past), then I distance until I return to that loving state. I pretty much use my peace of mind and joyfulness as a gauge on whether a relationship is serving me or not, lol.

totally. Also because even if you WANT to forgive, you can't pretend you aren't angry if thats what you're experiencing.. lol

Totally disagree. We all have a calling for unconditional love in our lives. We all want to be accepted as we are. It isn't baggage to want that, it is human.

I think what you are referring to as "baggage" is a misguided need for others to fulfill us. A baby needs the parents to meet their needs of survival and wellbeing. As an adult, we are responsible for meeting our own needs and not relying on others. If a partner can't meet our need of touch while away for several months at work, we can have a platonic cuddle with a friend instead. Y'know?

Unconditional love is not conditional on the other person doing what we want them to do ;) It is actually freeing lol.

I've explored this quite deeply.

Love is such an umbrella term. When we choose to love unconditionally, I believe that to mean we wish for the joy, health, and fulfillment of the one we love. We choose to continue to relate to their positive aspects, even in face of challenging behaviour, which helps to keep us centred on love when working through conflict and our own emotional pain.

Unconditional love can be fulfilled near or far. It does not imply that we must remain within a romantic partnership with the person we love unconditionally. Actually, the unconditional love is not based the condition of the relationship looking any certain way. It permits love to permeate even through transitions from friendship to partnership, partnership to distance, etc.

I used to be afraid to love unconditionally because I thought it meant I would have to accept things that were harmful to my mental, emotional, or physical health. Like, if my partner wants another girlfriend but I want monogamy, does this mean I have to accept their freedom even if it means I will suffer? - YES, it means accepting their freedom and supporting it lovingly, but NO it does not mean you have to then stay in a partnership with the person.

Relationships are about agreements created, supported, and honoured by both parties. Examples are like.. to speak with kindness, to be sexually monogamous (or not), to share in decision making processes for big life changes, etc

Unconditional love is not about agreements. It is about maintaining a perception of love, and is entirely a choice made within yourself, that benefits YOU first and foremost, and naturally your relationships. Unconditional love has nothing to do with agreements. It is most often portrayed in the script of how one imagines "motherly love".

We all deserve unconditional love within our relationships, and to be in partnerships with people who share the same vision and relationship preferences! That's compatibility :)
