Capitalism sucks!!!

I still have to pay rent and bills, I know others do too. But whenever possible it can feel AMAZING to do direct exchange of our goodies and skills!

We all move through different seasons of life so some trades will depend on timeline and capacity. I hope you won’t take it personally if I say “no” to an offer. Please feel free to say “no” to my offers too. Or it might be a “maybe later.” Let’s just have a conversation :)

Feel free to use this as a template to create your own lists!
