• A Note From Jan

• Healing Story

Dear Friends,

I'm delighted to share with you another gem from Mark Nepo, one of my favorite authors, and the author of one of my favorite books, The Book of Awakening. I read a few pages from it at our recent conference in Spartanburg, SC, and received a card from someone who attended that conference, traveling all the way from Southern California. She said "when Jan read the page from The Book of Awakening, I knew I was home."

The Spartanburg, SC, conference felt like a home-coming in many ways. It felt like a deep experience of nourishing the soul, and when I'm feeding my soul is when I'm most at home. I hope this story from Mark Nepo nourishes your soul.

In the spirit of healing,

Jan Adrian, MSW
