Greetings friends,

I'm heading off to Europe in a couple of days, looking forward to meeting some new CNVC friends.

Before I left I wanted to let you know that Marshall will be in Sannta Barbara this weekend offering two free workshops on Saturday and Sunday. Details below...

Secondly, I receive the following link from a friend in New Mexico and wanted to share it with you: http://www.positivepause.com/en/

Peace, even now,
