Tranquility DeJure, July 11th, 2017.

Hello there, this is Kimberly Wilson, and welcome to the 400th episode, celebrating nearly 12 years, September

12 years, of Tranquility DeJure.

I'm so happy you're here and thank you for your patience as we were delayed one day

in getting it out.

And I'm so excited to be here for the 400th.

It sounds like so long, so big, this week's episode.

And throughout it, what I'm going to do is talk a bit about the five lessons that I've learned really since starting this podcast. And a lot of them

are aligned with HTC-10, which some of you may recall. HTC-10 was the, I guess you would call it an e-book. It was like a

100,000 word piece that I put out, which is to give you an idea, it's a quarter the size

of hip trinkled chick. So that was my first book that came out in 06. And so in December, I put out

an HTC10, which is basically 10 years later,

Heptrinkel check. And really, if we think about it, it is 10 plus 2-ish years later since this

podcast launched. And I recall when it launched, I was at a friend's wedding in Mexico and I made my boyfriend go into the other room so

that I could record it and I basically read verbatim. And I was there reading about writing a book

because I don't think I had this book deal yet for Hip Trinkle Chick, but I was in the

process. I think I had an agent and I was working on writing it at that point. So really,

you know, the five lessons that I learned and since Hip Trinquil Chick really totally ties into

this podcast and its evolution. Then I also want to share with you what's bringing me inspiration

these days. Because as you've heard, you know, through this podcast since 2005, there's been a lot

of different people interviewed, ideas shared, various things supported, acknowledged, showcased, really from, I feel like

it's a lot of authors, a lot of activists, and a lot of artists.
