Good morning, John!

As always, your comments are thoughtful, kind and engaging...smiles and thank you for that!

My introduction to David Whyte was through his book "The Heart Aroused:  Poetry and the Preservation of the Soul in Corporate America." I'm thinking you might enjoy it!

Your observations about the phrase "purposeful discomfort" are spot on. I started using that phrase as I began thinking about leaving corporate America and continue using it to describe the unfurling of my second act of life. As you note, the phrase covers a lot of territory!

With a smile,

Jane
