From Constanze, a beautiful, joyful comment:
“Inside everyone is a great shout of joy waiting to be born.
Even with summer so far off, I feel it grown in me now and ready to arrive in the world.
All those years of forgetting how easily you can belong to everything simply by listening.
And the slow difficulty of remembering how everything is born from an opposite and miraculous otherness.
Silence and winter have lead me to that otherness.
So let this winter of listening be enough for the new life
I must call my own.”
- David Whyte,”The Winter of Listening”
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! Constanze

Among the many things I’m grateful for this year is the Joy Diet–the book and the wonderful participants in this adventure. Personally, I’m more aware of my desires, the truths which both propel and block me, and the risks necessary to create these desires in my life. Those risks don’t feel nearly as huge or scary because they are leavened with so many treats and so much laughter.
It is truly an honor to be a witness to the courage and growth of all of you–the Joy Diet participants, my clients, and those of you who drop in to read. Thanks to each of you for being part of this journey.
Have a wonderful holiday!
Love,
Terry
