Becoming: Journeying Toward Authenticity

Here is a link to my new blog posting: What a trip!   The essay invites us to consider the insights that might arise when we view our life as a journey. Please check it out, and let me know what you find!

I chose this essay because this afternoon I am leaving for a two week visit to Egypt. Wow, eh?!

I am loving your book! Honestly. I lay down to rest yesterday and picked it up to begin to browse and couldn't stop reading for 40 - 50 pages. I love the way you start it, with two interpretations of your childhood. A perfect context for what is to follow. I love the short chapters, each with a big message. I am reflecting lots. It feels familiar and personal and important.

It was great to have the opportunity to witness the launch of your book. I enjoyed every moment of it.

I wanted to tell you how lovely the book launch was. You did a marvellous job. I really enjoyed everyone who spoke and was deeply touched by both you and your brother. There was much 'authenticity' in how everyone spoke.

Fantastic event yesterday, Jill.
