My last few days have been spent finalizing the 3rd Edition of Fully Alive, getting the manuscript ready for production. I’m also continuing to work on my Huna book; and have finally completed the list of material to record in the next few weeks.

Another week of Igniting the Self has completed itself and, as always, I am not now who I was when I began, this time last week.
