The words of your golf coach are something to think about--do something often enough, and it takes hold. Makes me think about what I do... Thank you for this, and all this!

Beautiful, Karen ... as always. And I'm happy to read that you're a fellow Buddhist!

Thank you Jeanne! I'm not sure if I can say I "am a Buddhist" but I've been practicing with a sangha for a year and learning from the wisdom tradition via lots of resources (Thich Naht Hahn, Joan Halifax, Tara Brach, etc.). I find there's a lot there that resonates.
