John,

Hello DFD, thank you for posting a question on my blog. Seeing your first few posts, I’m intrigued and I look forward to following you.
I notice you like Rick Hansen, who I like as well. Perhaps you’ll be interested in hearing about Dr Joe Dispenza. I am fascinated by his work and have just finished his workshops. Very powerful.

Have a wonderful day,

Thank you so much. I am touched once again and feel unworthy as I have not followed through on the requirements for the beautiful blogger award you so graciously honored me with some time ago. To make matters worse I have been neglecting my blog lately. So I am doubly honored and humbled by your kindness.
Last weekend I read a book- front to back- that has rocked my world. “12 Steps to a Compassionate Life” by Karen Armstrong. Are you familiar with this book?

Hi John,
No pressure to create posts! Do it when you are inspired and have the time. And don’t worry about not following through on the awards – it’s quite OK.
Thanks for the book recommendation! I haven’t read it but will look into it.

Want to follow your blog. Wonderful.
Hi John, we are friends on Insight Timer and I am very much appreciating your work! I am coming to Portland this weekend to teach a day-long retreat that might be of interest to your community. I’d also be interested to meet for tea if you were available. Here is the link for my offering: http://www.essencepresence.com/seminars/change-and-the-power-of-choice/. Many well wishes, Josephine
Hi Josephine
What a pleasant surprise. I’m sorry I won’t be able to meet this weekend as I’ll be away at: https://www.functionalmedicine.org/conference.aspx?id=3231&cid=0§ion=t875
Sounds like a great conference! Another time. I hope to be back. Please do pass the word if you know of anyone who might be interested in joining me.
Thanks for reaching out. Please stay in touch! John
