Really, I am going to get to writing the book in just a minute… but as I was gluing some paper in my art journal (part of getting ready to write, really, doing this art thing) I was thinking about the reader who wrote to me about her concerns about my Kripalu retreat being inspiring enough for her needs and I was thinking about Molly Gordon’s comment, especially her "and that means" wisdom.
