One of the things that happened to me when I was in my forties was that I began to truly realize just how mysterious life is. How mystery each of us is and how we touch one another's lives for good or ill often without realizing it. Peace.

It does all that and often gives me ideas for stories that I then write! All that is helpful in today's world of chaos and confusion. Peace.

I hope you enjoy it and find it worth your time. Carrying around guilt is a real burden, and you are so correct that when we are able to release the guilt there's a true sense of relief. I am so grateful to my friend who suggested I writ the memoir. Peace.

I do not regret entering the convent; but I also do not regret leaving. The stay there helped me learn what community is all about. <br /><br />I so hope you are right and that the book will be successful. For me, that will mean that it touches the lives of others with goodness. Thank you for your kind words about my writing. Peace.

It is powerful and it truly helped me learn to meditate in a new way. I'm so please for you that the exercises helped you come to love yourself and live at peace with yourself. That kind of contentment is a rare gift, I think. Peace.
