This is so helpful: "I do want to be trusted to follow you as best I can while meaning gradually reveals itself." And that's just the first paragraph! Kind like the spiritual life.

Have a wonderful time and congrats.

Congratulations on your son's wedding! Thank you so much for this repost. Like the 11 Things you offered earlier, I find these to be invaluable when it comes to creating, editing, and rewriting. Getting a lot of value contemplating the things you don't want to read...very enlightening. It's kind of funny, but when I find myself falling into a trap like being predictable, verbose, and dang it, boring, I hear your voice in my head gently guiding me to an alternative. Enjoy your weekend and looking forward to the next intensive. Thanks again, Jeannine.

Oh my, please let my voice be gentle. That’s so important to me! Ultimately, YOU know your work best of all, and anything I say is only an invitation to ponder!

The voice is always gentle, always positive, always affirming and best of all, never demanding but just inviting.
