Hi MsJoleary
You share "my conscious intent at this time to continue to study and play with the NB model for at least 3 months"

My experience is we get our intention. So, I expect that three months from now you will still be doing that. Another interesting thing I notice your intention, it doesn't include original upset that NB wasn't bringing about.

Since I too have not master using my NB, that is my intention until now. My new intention is "I love using my NB to live my dreams now."

I salute you for seeking to go for what you desire, one step at a time. Thanks for sharing.
Wishing you the best.
Richard
