I am happy to hear you are hearing sweet voices in your head pushing you forward. I wish you all the very best and hope to hear from you again. Regards, E.

I am still here, not in a hurry, but doing my best not to waste time either. My legacy will be in the written word — with some real work, and serious effort, I will be an award winning playwright and maybe even a sculptor too. That’s the path I am on right now. It feels right, it smells right, it tastes right. Dunno how else to describe it. I just finished a profoundly moving writers workshop with a woman (fabulous) who has been doing this for many years. I read my spontaneous essay aloud and she was wowed. The next thing I knew, she was offering me free tickets to a new play written by a personal friend in NYC, she’s doing business with my sister-in-law, and was a personal friend of my since deceased Aunt who used to chair the English Dept. at Skidmore — there are no accidents! I am exactly where I need to be right now. Much love to all. J

Right? I taped the Carson documentary so I did not see it but I thought we were having an earthquake (very rare in NJ). No…it was the hubster laughing so hard the bed was shaking. Carson=brilliant. Even his non-verbal said everything you needed to know. What’s your legacy? I’m all ears (both of them).

Am I judging when someone rattles off their datebook rather than waiting to see that I am okay? I adore giving personal coaching to everyone but when someone says “I’m busy,” I hesitate to bring up my own travails. Thank you for spotting my blind spot…I will listen and learn.

Maybe your ‘friend’ is busy and is feeling overwhelmed with her to-do list, and needs a quick moment of your ‘personal coaching’ to help her manage it. Maybe you should be present to the conversation instead of judging?

Brilliant as usual.
And if you’re not too busy I’d love you to browse through the first issue of my e-magazine at http://www.theoddmagazine.com

Pretty please?
