Just learned that my "Compassionate Conversations" published on Substack are read by people in 37 countries and in 33 states in the US. Grateful for these connections. May these essays care for minds and hearts and catalyze compassionate lives, local communities,
countries, and a planetary civilization. If you want to read or subscribe, you can do so here:
