One guy, so much wisdom. Thank you for living (and advising us) consistent with the principles you espouse. “No failure is a setback.” Break patterns of harsh thinking about yourself. “Enjoy the work you set your heart on doing.” Golden nuggets to impel your readers.

Thank you. Lifting your fellow humans is surely a great definition for success even if seemingly illusion to measurement. I also like Warren Beauty’s definition of success I read 35 years ago: it’s when you can’t tell if you’re working or you’re playing. Thank you!

I look forward to reading your new book when I return to the US in March. I can’t get mail or items here. Your communication is so helpful to me as I transition (longer but far less painful than the transition period of giving birth in my youth-ha).

I appreciate the guidance you give as it’s always right on. I’m not sure of the extent of my next round of contribution as I exit my lucrative profession where writing is high level and difficult yet astounding in its flow of ideas bc my motives are always on fire to get to the solution, the justice according to enforcement of law. Harder to get that fire when writing about the meaning of the cases lost that beckon me to speak ( write)-causes of justice, instances of injustice and harmful pollution. Thank you again!
