Breaking Free of the Trance

It’s been a couple of weeks since my return from Ecuador.  In that time, I have spent time journaling about my time there, what I learned and attempting to integrate the experience.

There will be cats!

I love to walk through the wooded areas near my house with my dog Finn.  Today I came home after being away and the afternoon was warm enough to invite a walk.  Finn is a golden retriever and if it weren’t for him I wouldn’t come out of my cozy warm haven here.  But today [...]
