Gina's preparation made for a session that provided a great deal of interesting information while drawing us in to real interaction.
We all were forced to address our own "monsters" of failure.

Gina, I do want to send you what I wrote in your session. I don't have it with me now. I loved the info you gave us. Really made me think and all that, and will lead to helpful stuff that I will do with myself and in my classes. Will send my writing soon! --Helen Walker

“The blue sky opens out farther and farther, the daily sense of failure goes away, the damage I have done to myself fades, a million suns come forward with light, when I sit firmly in that world”
--Kabir, a fifteenth-century Indian weaver, venerated by both Hindus and Muslims.
