Writing out loud, for the first time, after decades of writing private thoughts into journals, clinical notes, emails, letters, cards, it seems a necessary shift in life at a certain age - an age where sharing a lifetime of learning becomes part of the daily mission of life.


Spending many hours in my chair, listening, asking questions, and recording my notes and thoughts have given a wealth of experience that seems worthy of sharing with others who my benefit from the lessons of the many people with whom I have had the privilege to share my days.
