Mike, I'm pleased to "meet" you and to follow your writing here (and I also followed a few of your very good links - I liked the "Boomer" tips!) Though I have always attended Episcopal and Anglican churches - I'm a singer and the choirs there are good, for one reason - most of the important teachings that have actually helped me in my daily life have come from Buddhism and a meditation practice. I am not currently keeping up with it, other than swimming every other morning, which is a kind of meditation and does help. You remind me that getting back on the cushion would be a very good idea, since I'm going through a lot of changes and loss, and some of it has been very difficult. Honesty does help people: this I've learned through my years of writing and relating to others. So, thank you for your honesty, and for following me here and for your message. I look forward to reading your words and communicating.

Thank you to Heather and Brad for 'liking' my newsletter this week. I need the applause because I'm a flawed individual (and loving it!).
