Fifty Seven Years of Birthday and Purpose, Desire and Grace with Katie at Yoga Loka: Reno, Nevada: June 13, 2018

Instructions for living a life:
Pay attention.
Be astonished.
Tell about it.

— Mary Oliver, from "Sometimes"
 

Today is my 57th birthday. I'm feeling like there is a bigger purpose for me to be here on the planet than, fun as it is, choosing which chandelier should hang in the front entry and which over the dining room table.

Sitting in class today all I could 'hear' was the instruction from beyond to write the book and write the blog.

So, with a team of awesome remodel crew staring at me and holding questions before work can commence, I am following instructions. I am sitting down to write.

Even just a little bit. Even just this blog. Its a start, which is the only way I'll ever get my book landed on the New York Times Bestseller list.

Health, Love, and Rock N Roll

JJ and Keith and Rick are awesome remodel crew and all around nice guys. Patiently waiting as we structure the move of book shelves. Its not as simple as it sounds and involves removing freshly painted floor and crown moulding because.we made a mistake by not telling them we wanted to relocate them first. Just look at that "are you SURE???" look in their sweet eyes!
