I must let go of my need for the world to love me.

My career was about to change radically, in turning 50 I had hit the age where my Dad made a big career and his life started to unravel.

It's just a favorite language to me, that country finger-picking guitar style.

My resistance to communication work is because of 15 years with my former wife where we did all this work, but we never got to the core of anything.

Real freedom is creative, proactive, and will take me into new territories. I am not free if my freedom is predicated on reacting to my past.

Whatever I have not yet learned to tolerate in myself inevitably will appear in my children. In this way, they, like Julia, guide me to a new level of self-awareness and everyone benefits.

I know that Julia has been given to me for my spiritual growth, and this moment is perfect for us both. I know that I love her, and I know she's my soul mate.
