My pitch delivered to the ladies at Blue Stockings Society on Monday 23rd Jan. Following this is the text I collaboratively through prompts generated by ChatGTP.

I welcome others to share their thoughts either in the comments or to post a link to there own voyage into mind sharing. Continue reading
