Doug, I love this. Especially: “Renewal whispers, I am ready to release what I have outgrown so that more of who I am can emerge.” What a beautiful way to think about growth, not always as becoming MORE, but perhaps becoming more fully ourselves. This resonates deeply with what I've been exploring about becoming in later life. I think we're going to have a fascinating conversation!

Thank you, Peggy. You said it better than I did: not becoming more, but becoming more fully ourselves. I've come to think later life may be where that finally gets easier, because there's less to prove and more willingness to set down what we've been carrying. I'm looking forward to our conversation on the 5th.
