Kindness lady,
Could there be a higher compliment than to be called kind? I think not.
Your sharing was priceless!
Thank you so very much.

I loved the intimacy of this dialogue. Your questions were so thoughtful, taking Sharon deeper into her experiences and bringing me with you. I found her sharing very validating to my own journey and practice of servant leadership and how I learned from Robert Greenleaf to prepare myself and surrender to a higher power moving through me. How to let go of judgment and simply trust that what needed to happen would happen whether I understood it or not. Thank you for this very loving and freeing dialogue. In the spirit, Ann

Sharon reminds us that even twenty years of meditation is not a certain innoculation against human suffering and crushing despair. What to do? Don’t turn our awareness away from what is happening, be kind to ourself, and connect with a supportative community.
Above all I loved her laughter. Let us learn to celebrate the joy of others. Thanks.
