Dear Readers...

It seems that since I've landed in San Diego it's been one opportunity after another--some of them more flavorful and rich than others. I'm definitely on the path of the Healing Game (as the Van Morrison song goes).

I don't know how many of you knew that San Diego is a healing vortex. Thus, people like myself come here to heal, help others heal, and perhaps even discover undiscovered need for healing brought to light by the nature of this lovely coastal area.

It was with great joy that I was offered to co-partner with Rodney Schwan, the beginnings of a series of educational classes called "The Art of Sacred Wellness." Little did I know that in accepting that position I would be grafting my soul into the essence of this series of classes in the sacred art of wellness.

When I first arrived in San Diego I registered for Ayurvedic Deep Healing Yoga. That's due to begin the first weekend of October. I'm certain to be surrounded by like-minded people on a similar path as I continue the process of recovering from surgery. I am reasonably optimistic as my journey begins one step at a time.

I spent the last 10 years of my life nurturing a body of people I've in many cases, come to know very well--talked over the phone, shared emails, and in many cases became dear friends. Over these 10 years I've grown and learned along with all of you, and carved out a spot for myself in a position of global service. I want to thank all of you for allowing that possibility to grow over the years.
