This is also a shout out to @Patricio Borras a future bohemian who has been adding to this community, so thank you.

All I know is, I love the beach and sunsets in the water, and typically if I can find a west facing shore, that’s what I’m going to get. So when I flew into Santiago yesterday, the first thing I did was head directly to the beach. It just so happens and I really had no idea that the beach I landed out Apparently has the second greatest fireworks display for New Year’s in all of South America. … which I happily got to enjoy last night.! I wish you all a wonderful new jaunt around the sun and a happy 2026! Ravi PS I’m starting the year especially grateful for this community and SKOOL

The funny thing is because of jet lag, or who knows what I was looking, making sure that I was keeping up with my fire …and somehow I screwed up and yesterday only had nine activities, which I don’t understand because I thought I had large numbers above me… Crazy stuff, oh well, it is what it is!

Quite a few things that were possibly going on, I fly out very very early on Tuesday, but between now and the time I have to get to LAX I could probably meet up in person with a couple of you if we can make that work Sunday or Monday afternoon… if it’s comfortable, harmonious & easy, great, let’s make it happen!!!

Communities do not evolve because policies change. They evolve because people behave differently. Every action, every post, every act of care or indifference quietly rewrites what is acceptable, what is encouraged, and what gets protected. Rules may moderate behavior, but influence comes from participation. In a real community, you are never a passive user—you are part of the system that defines what the community becomes. even doing nothing, is an action. This though is because the amazing interview of @Rositsa Aleksandrova I like how sweet & controversial -> Human Hre some ideas from the video: Patricio -------------------- Rotsika – 15 Principles of Real Community (Condensed) 1. Energy comes before engagement. 2. Joy and play increase performance. 3. Community presence is not time-boxed work. 4. A community is not a funnel or email list. 5. Give first; money follows. 6. Show how community works—don’t just claim results. 7. Art, music, humor, and ritual build real bonds. 8. Caring for members is core, not optional. 9. Rule-following can still fail people. 10. Scale must not erase humanity. 11. Revenue influences whose voice is heard. 12. Change requires reaching real influence. 13. Serving others is a valid way to learn a platform. 14. Healthy communities are co-created. 15. If it’s not human, it’s not community.
