Nice weather for a tour of Trinity College 😉

So now Monday awaits. The week is new, and today is the last day of August.

Wow, the end of the summer. My youngest goes back to school on Wednesday, and today I am taking Mya to my alma mater because she starts there next week. It's actually really interesting to be able to show Mya around Trinity College before she gets the official tour. I hope it helps her feel more comfortable there, knowing that her mother was there before she was.

I’m remembering the enthusiasm I had going to college there back in 1989 (would you believe?) to study natural sciences (biology, geology, geography, chemistry, physics). I ended up with a degree in Zoology, specialising in Marine Biology. There you go, folks: proof that what you do in college does not end up being what you do for life.

For all of its ups and downs I really value the time I spent at Trinity. Even though it didn't turn me into a great scientist it taught me how to think. At that tender age of 20, learning how to think, learning how to make an argument, and learning how to have your own opinion sets you up for the rest of your life.

Mya is going to be studying linguistics and philosophy, so she will certainly have her mind stretched. Whether they bring in woke politics or not, she has her own mind, and because of the grounding that she has at home, she feels safe to talk to us about ideas.

If you have your eyes wide open and have been told that you are your own person, conditioning doesn't work as well on you. Conditioning is everywhere, not just in the education system.

I’m very proud of her for working so hard to get in. The system is not a healthy one, but my children have come through it, (one more to go!), and I'm very proud of all of them

Hello, I'm delighted to see that my channel is growing so quickly. So many of you here are new. It warms my heart.

Because you're new, you might not be aware that my identity gets stolen very frequently, and you might get approached by a spammer who is pretending to be me.

Here is the key: I will never write to you privately on Telegram. Yes, sometimes I reply to comments in the chat group, answer your questions there, and take part in conversations, but there's something important I need you to understand.

If you want to contact me, you can email me at my email, the same one I always give out, abby@abby-wynne.com, or you can use the form on my website to contact me. Those are the ways that you get in touch with me, and I will never get in touch with you first. The regular emails that you get from me come from a newsletter contact list that you would have subscribed to, and go out to everybody on my list, not just to you.

Please remember this: I have absolutely zero interest in Bitcoin, financial matters and I will never ask you for money.

I am a healer, a mystic, and an author, and I do not have any recommendations for you as to where you should be investing your money. In fact, whenever my husband talks to me about money, I lose interest and drift off somewhere much more pleasant.

So, there is no way I would have any suggestions for you around how to invest your money, which Bitcoin is good, or any kind of crypto information. That is definitely something I do not have any interest in.

This is my channel. I would never recommend a different channel to this one.

So, what do you do if fake Abby contacts you on telegram?
I'll tell you: you can just delete the message. That's it.

Now, I know some of you have had a bit of fun winding the spammer up. Some of you have even shared screenshots of their replies. That's fine, but that's your choice. Just remember, it is not me.

It's unfortunate, but all of us have to get better at spotting the spam. They're getting very clever these days. Somebody actually used my email address to email me to tell me that they could use my email if they wanted to. I've reported that to my email provider, and I'm still waiting to hear back to find out what to do next. It's a little scary.

But I don't work out of fear, and I don't want you to work out of fear either.

So - If it doesn't sound like me, it isn't me. If it does sound like me and it's asking you for money, it isn't me. Stick to that, and you should be grand.

And as far as other scammers coming at you from other directions, I would be safe and not click on any links that you might get in a text message from somebody that you don't know. Delete any emails that seem a little bit dodgy, and always, always check that the email address comes from the domain name they're claiming that they comes from, and not from a Gmail or hotmail account.

Come walk with me in a Dahlia forest 🥹

Beautiful work.
