When I set out on my silent journey, I had no idea it wouldn’t leap to come back into the land of the talking. I find myself still being quiet much of the time. When I’m out in public, I look forward to coming back and getting quiet again…and to connecting.

Last night I did a reading on my life work and asked a couple of deep questions about the readings I’m doing, and the work I’ve been doing over the last 20+ years. The answers I got blew my mind!

The word for today is Time Management. (And for the sake of time, I’ve done no editing on this!). I can now see why it’s such a challenge to do everything I have on my plate. It’s because I heap too much on it!

We live our own personal drama/comedy/tragedy/adventure stories. Along our journeys, we and our stories bump into each other, crash into each other, embrace each other, or bow to each other. I do my best these days to
