Have you ever looked at people in the supermarket while waiting in the queue to reach the checkout? I’m sure you have. How many people look well? I don’t mean, they are nicely tanned, have perfect white teeth and nice skin, but their eyes shine brightly and they seem alive and happy? In my experience,…

The workshop was successful. I did many workshops or presentations before. I always prepared well and knew what I would say and do. I always left enough things undecided, so that intuition will be able to come into the talking and doing too. But I also had worries about success, about people loving me in…
