Greetings!
 
The fall colors are near their peak at Birch Corner.  The earth continues to bestow its blessings, and gratitude fills our hearts.
 
We conclude our two part series on The Four-Fold Way, a simple and practical formula for grounding yourself in turbulent times and reclaiming your focus.  
 
We also reconnect to the wisdom of Marian Head and her Revolutionary Agreements.  Honoring our choices is one way to speak our truth and hear the truth of others without judgment.    
 
Yours in new beginnings,

Peggy and Bob MacArthur

Where to Begin
 
One place to begin is with each of us in our daily lives.  Here are some suggestions for getting started.
