What a Long Strange Trip It's Been

Wow, it has been months and months since I have written anything in my blog. You may well wonder; what on this Glorious Green Earth have I been up to? Well, in addition to living life as fully as I can remember to, I have been putting the finishing touches on my book, Awakening to the God Within—Wisdom Teachings from the Ocean of Joy.

I put the first complete version of the manuscript out in early August. At least 15 people read it, and several gave me detailed feedback. I’ve been extremely busy integrating that feedback into the latest version of the manuscript, which I released for comments, suggestions and copy editing on October 31. While waiting for the latest feedback to come rolling in, I’m deeply into the actual book and cover design. JoAnn, my Beloved life partner, is helping with formatting suggestions as well as generally being her enormously loving, supportive self.

My plan is to blog once or twice a week (that is with the above-mentioned JoAnn lovingly twisting my arm). I find it challenging to shift gears from finishing up the graphics and all the details of self-publishing, from sending away for ISBN numbers to finding the best book printer for the book.

I guess that’s about it for this rainy Sunday. I’ll leave you with one of my favorite quotes, which I placed in the book dedication.

“Someday, after mastering the winds, the waves, the tides and gravity, we shall harness the energy of love, and then, for the second time in the history of the world, man will discover fire.” – Teilhard de Chardin

By the way, you may want to see JoAnn’s fabulous blog at www.wayhealthy.blogspot.com. It is an extensive, gorgeous photoblog she calls “Living My Passion.” To date, she has posted well over 200 entries!
