Describing perfectly who I am – and many others – I am sure. Today – after an emotional roller-coaster – and prise de conscience – I am back on track. I am renewing my determination to stay focussed on my lifelong mission: to sublimate pain with beauty, inspiration and good. I am not ducking from reality – I am affording myself the ‘space’ needed to be focussed.
Netdiver Mag schedule is moving to a Monday through Thursday timeline.

Get your loved ones off Facebook by Salim Virani.
It’s not just what Facebook is saying it’ll take from you and do with your information, it’s all the things it’s not saying, and doing anyway.
We don’t even need to click ‘I agree’ anymore. They just change the privacy policy and by staying on Facebook, you agree.
Oopsy!

_______
I wanted to ‘see’ who was behind and found these articles:
Secrets, lies and Snowden’s email: why I was forced to shut down Lavabit by Ladar Levison. It is a shocking read! Instead of relenting (and becoming complicit) to NSA / FBI and the whole US legal machine descending on him to get his ‘encryption keys’.. he shut down the service and blew away his company + 10 years of hard work.

Wow talk about convictions – this guy is the real-deal – because in the process – he lost everything. I cannot imagine the stress of going through such an ordeal.
