Heart, soul, and mind
Two quotes I have read and heard recently, and have been thinking about lately:
1. From the bottom of your heart and the middle of your mind.
A colleague emailed me recently inviting me to write a book for a series he is editing. He said that I could write about anything: from the bottom of my heart and the middle of my mind. It excites me to the core of my being. And terrifies, at the same time.
2. There are still months and miles to go.
Barack Obama said and says this about his candidacy. I relate to it and identify with it for every stage of my own life. It talks about patience and faith. It reminds me of the tall, solid, strong oak tree outside my window - of holding still through the fiercest storm.
I had never heard the first quote before, but I like it! Isn't that what most of us would like to write about? Topics we feel compelling that we are knowledgeable about? What an opportunity!

Yes. My sentiments exactly. I can't stop thinking about it ... lovely to hear from you again.
