18 years as corporate Training & Development professional along with many many jobs before that contributed to the discovery that I was not at peace - I was living in fear and living the life everyone else thought I had to live; job, money, success, day after day, endless empty life.  I believed (or convinced myself rather) I was living the life I wanted and was happy and peaceful because I knew nothing else.
Today I experience life differently.  Broke, and unable to do the old "job" in the world, I write and market my first book.  The wonderful part is, I am more peaceful than i have ever been in my life.
Through looking at me, my life, my experience in the world, I am removing the obstacles I put up in front of the peace already inside and in the looking they melt away, leaving only the peace i didn't know i wasn't experiencing.  so wonderful a gift.
