Dear Edward,
I too was very touched and moved by your speaking this last class past. So much resonated with me in the similarities of my experience of violence and abuse at the hands of men most specifically my biological and step fathers. Never being particularly adept in the arena of team sports, much the same occurred during schooling years. These were back in the days when being bullied and beat up was considered good for a young man’s character. As a result I have found myself reticent to participate in all male activity. I have considered ManSpirit, but this ugly demon of fear always rises up in full display. Your speaking made me feel that perhaps it would be a good thing in which to involve myself. Being in group with loving, caring men would go a long way towards dispelling the patterns the old agreements I have set for myself.
So I thank you deeply for being open with your sharing...this process of self mastery is though at times painful, so profoundly worth it for me in awakening.

Practice The Presence Journal
Journaling offers a powerful way to record your spiritual growth. Writing in a journal calls on you to be more conscious of the insights that occur daily in your life. It gives you an opportunity to examine your beliefs and be mindful of your choices.
Seeing Good At Work
I have been through the book three times over three years, and am starting it again. This is not because the material in the book is not working, but because it is working so well! The weekly lessons keep me on track and focused on what is actually true and important, and help me experience more good in every area of my life. LS
