    What do Edgar Cayce, St. Anthony & My Garbage – all have in common?

    And just like that, January is taking its bow and next week is “hello February.” Did January go by as fast for you or is it just me? Not only did it feel like I blinked but next week is February… There was an interesting phenomenon that happened that prompted me to write my curious subject to this email:“What do Edgar Cayce, St. Anthony & My Garbage – all have in common?” I read one of the best books on Discovering Your Soul’s Purpose by Mark Thurston.

    Put Your Ass Where Your Soul Wants to be…

    Been doing some soul-searching, reading, and connecting lately… That’s the gift of taking time out for me – and I’d highly encourage it. 🙂 It’s given me a better and even more interesting perspective of where my adventures in business will continue to lead and take me moving forward… No big surprise – it led me to this book – Put Your Ass Where Your HEART Wants to Be by Steven Pressfield. (Thanks to a wonderful new accountability partner.) He also wrote a classic for creatives – The War of Art. A different take on The Art of War by Sun Zhu. And I borrowed part of this for the subject of this blog post and exchanged…
