8-14-14 follow your bliss

This morning I participated in the "Wonder Women Roundtables Breakfast"  sponsored by the Rensselaer County Chamber of Commerce, part of their Tech Valley Series for Empowering Women, and soaked in great energy and inspiration as I listened to the stories of so many interesting women.  Our final task was to write, on a bright gold piece of paper, the single best piece of advice we've ever received.  I wrote:  Follow Your Bliss.  Just now out running up Hoosick then out past the green pastures of a city farm, I felt tremendous gratitude to God for first being able to find the work that brings me joy and for then finding a way to make a living from it.  Although it can be a scary path financially at times, not knowing when the next book contract or teaching opportunity will come, I intend to keep following my bliss, writing and teaching, for as long as my one life light continues to shine.
