Dear Allyson and Kristen,

This may be short as morning is going to come early, but I've been wanting to respond.

A -- isn't that the truth...the balance between walking this life, engaging with it, surrendering, and accepting the gifts in the present -- all while honoring our hearts' desires...what a beau? (ah! The question mark has appeared!!! see response to The only...) anyways...beautiful process, sometimes frustrating, but beautiful nonetheless. I love and appreciate YOU and our times of connecting. I look forward to more...

K -- I love that you responded, and feel fulfilled when I am able to contribute in some (even small) way to another's experience. Some part of me is pleased that I appear somewhat together, and many times I feel that way. And then $*#@! hits the fan and sometimes my inner world seems to crumble, before it is reconstructed again, and again, and again... I still haven't taken that turn off hwy 1 (and I'm glad you haven't either). I've also been very blessed to have had some great friends, mentors, and in an intensive growth-oriented journey for some years now. I've also had great care that has supported me to make the changes I've made with more ease and grace. (*I* would not be living the life I do now without that, though I acknowledge there are many paths.) Comparing often brings pain and/or struggle...if only I could always remember this myself. :) I enjoyed your presence and beauty in the seminar. I admire how you simultaneously (to me) appear shy, yet wild and passionate. These are qualities which I feel internally, but often don't feel (brave enough?) to portray outwardly. (Remember the robe I chose?) Thank you for the beautiful way you held up the mirror. :)

Blessings,
Dawn
