Seth Godin once said ‘The happiest people aren’t the ones on Face Book all day, or trying to find more Twitter followers.’  As I carved out time to sit and write this newsletter, realizing it is many months overdue, Seth’s words never rang so true.

While my newsletters have been few and far between, my happiness meter is healthy.  I’ve been surrounded by all whom I love:  sons, sisters, cousins and grandchildren.  I’ve been sleeping out under the stars, forest bathing with my grandchildren, and exploring wild spaces with my feet in cool streams.

In between play, I’ve been balancing work, filming and editing.  Lots of editing!  My latest project has been an Inner Expedition film for Sandy.

Along with a healthy dose of curiosity and a desire for wisdom-harvesting, Sandy arrived at my studio full of uncertainty and nervousness.  Yet, as our film session came to a close, I was struck by her sense of calm.  Her ambivalence had been transformed into a deep sense of knowing.  Sandy has graciously offered her film for you to view.
