Shalom Bobby. I have been thinking of retireing and hitting the road but have to wait for now. Come visit me when you get to the boston Area. Sharing the FDire, the Lasnes Conference is in March. Someday I will travel to all the festvals in a blue van. Also I like Cristy's question about defining what we mean by Transformation. For me it is seeing the bigger picture and wherte we fit in the scheme of things. Happy New Year to all the brave storytellers on this list. Nyanna Susan > Hi > Where are you located?
