The Shards of My Former Self

Shedding, Transformation, Rebirth

Paying and founding members… you are the best! Thanks so much for your support in this start-up STILL space. It means a lot. Beginning today, once or twice a month, I’m going to give you an exclusive glimpse at some writing I’ve been doing related to what *hopefully* becomes my next book.

A few things about what I’ll be sharing: I’m not going to give you the overall vision for the project, at least not yet. But I am going to give you chunks and sections and quotes—and unedited ones at that. Part of sharing this here is not only so I can say “thank you” for your support, but also because it will help me work out some of my ideas.

And so, for this first exclusive offering for paying subscribers only, I’ve decided to start with a selection that ties in quite nicely to my just released book, The Way Home: Discovering the Hero’s Journey to Wholeness at Midlife. The context of this selection will make even more sense if you have read the book. In fact, if you’ve read the book, you might even wonder why this section wasn’t included in the book. Good question. And also, don’t worry, I’m not writing the same book again, but if its themes sound familiar, it is because this story encapsulates a lot about The Way Home and serves as a nice summary and jumping off point for what the hopefully-next-book will delve into!
