I already have your wonderful book, both of them actually. It was wonderful to hear your voice here and have you explaining a lot of what I have found in the book. Thank you for this. I have a particular deep connection to stones having gathered them from beaches on Cape Cod for many years . This is a lovely reminder to sit with them more than I already do. xo

Thank you so much! It is cold,wet, and cloudy this morning. My work was less than the best today and I had made myself quite miserable. I opened the app on lunch break and searched awe, no idea why that term, this was the first entry on the results. I am so happy it was. Thank you again.
