Hey Dana,
Isn't life-long learning great? I'm proud of you for being who you are. It has been way too long since I've seen you. I am looking forward to seeing you at the Int'l Apostofest in April.
Take care and I'll talk to you soon.

Sorry to take so long to respond! Please forgive me, one of my other addictions had me tied up a bit
((((((((Becky))))))),
Thank you so much for responding and letting me know that you could relate. I think about the many times I've read something here that touched me but that I didn't respond to due to lack of time, energy, whatever the case might have been, so I want you to know that I really do appreciate your taking the time (as well as everyone else who responded here , except possibly for Sixy j/k) to share your thoughts.
It's nice knowing that a book like that can do wonders for your internal being--which is what all of us need after the borg
Yes! I totally agree, altho when I first left, I would not have been able to appreciate the insights and messages the book offers. Each path is so uniquely individual, hey? Part of the joy, I think
Hey Doug ,
Yep, yep, yep to everything you said I miss you, too, Bro, and am very excited at the thought of the fest...I REALLY can't wait for you to meet Joy and Jst...I think you'll have some wonderful conversations with them (and take some of the heat off of me in the process...heheheheh). Countin' down the days...
Dana
Edited to add: Robyn, I haven't read the others yet, altho I intend to. I've got to reread the first, tho, because I really want to absorb as much as I can...let me know if you enjoy the sequels, hey?

Dana,
I have to admit, it took me a looooong time to finally open and read that book! I think a part of me knew it would have some kind of profound effect on me, and so I guess I was a little afraid of it. But oh how relieved I felt after it--knowing it's fiction, but very real in other ways.
What else do you like to read? Is there anything else that has affected you like The Celestine Prophecy? I am an avid reader, (which I'm sure drives my boyfriend crazy at times) and have finally drifted from a pretty solo "fiction" diet. Anyway, thanks for sharing!

HIyas again Becky ,
I understand that feeling of avoiding things b/c we may not wanna know what effect they're gonna have! As for reading in general, I'm a bookworm too and generally read fiction (lots and LOTS of fiction!) but two books that stand out in my mind that affected me are Mankind's Search for Meaning by Victor Frankl and Succulent Wild Women by Sark. Two completely different themes, but both had positive impacts on me.

Reading is so theraputic isn't it? Prior to leaving the borg. I barely ever read a book...no time to read! There are so many uplifting, thought provoking books out there.....I will def. give this book a read.
Glad that you are feeling so good.
Love to you and all your lovely family.
