“Sometime in your life you will go on a journey. It will be the longest journey you have ever taken. It is the journey to find yourself.”   Hi My Friend, I trust that this finds you well and thriving.  I have completed all of the Introductory Sessions for the next Lines In The Sand class which will start in late March.  I am happy to find so many of you who are dedicated to carving out one day a month just for yourself.  For those of you who have committed, I look forward to leading you through this journey of taking a closer look at your life and recognizing the sacred in ordinary moments.  You are going to love this expedition!
