My purpose is to help others and make a difference." Thanks for the reminder about our adaptability to "responding" to these hard times, especially for myself, Z, your blogs have given me a sense of being understood. I am learning lots each day learning how to let go of things to protect my heart. I am learning much about this too: “I am called to serve. My purpose is to help others and make a difference.”

It is wonderful to hear from you. Yes, I do believe that there are organizations putting clients first, though your question is very legitimate. It is so easy to put staff preferences and operational ease over the needs of the people served, without even realizing it. Is it all tangible? That is a question that I am struggling with a lot these days. There is so much that I think of that seems intangible. How do you transform a culture? How do you stop gossip in the work place? How do you help people enhance their interpersonal skills? Awareness -- yes, that seems quite intangible but oh so important. Thanks again for joining me on the path to an aware life. Have a wonderful holiday season. Z Cher,

Awareness — yes, that seems quite intangible but oh so important. Thanks again for joining me on the path to an aware life. Have a wonderful holiday season. Z

Just a question. I do appreciate your blogs, your statement: "If you do care, than you will observe yourself, ponder on what you learn and jump on the growth path. I say JUMP. If you are already on it, I say HELLO to a fellow traveler. It is great to be awake and aware. We are connected to each other. What we do does make a difference." I have to agree with it....I am awake and aware. I finally unveiled this truth for my life and Z? is this really tangible? -Cher Z,

Sometimes I have questioned being so personal on the blog linked to my business. It feels a bit like a risk each time I step out to write about the things that really matter to me. Your comment verifies for me that it is risk well worth taking. Thank you for sharing your story with me and taking the time to write. Z Cher,

I appreciate your blog and want to thank you for sharing your information. I lost my brother to suicide and found myself connecting with this entry. He was eleven, and I was 21. It was a profound shift in my existence. I remember every detail of that day and days thereafter. Upon reflection, I too must agree that "that the world would not stop, no matter how deep the pain, it just kept moving. There other thing I remember is that nothing was ever the same again. He touched our lives in ways that changed us forever, and sadly enough it was his death that made us realize just how deeply he impacted us in life." This quote relates to my siblings and I and twelve years later, my siblings and I revise our relationships every day. I am glad I read your posting. Thank you again for sharing.

I just wanted to send you a note thanking you for coming to Bisbee and sharing your energy with us. Instead, I ended up spending lots of time here, at your website, reading your blog, checking out your staff. What a wonderful vehicle you have created with all of these people. So many inspiring ideas and perspectives. You and Sally made a contribution so full of possibilities, new views, and encouragement, that I had to let you know how grateful I am and, as I see from Bob's outline for our Wednesday board meeting, what a strong impact it made on all of us. I look forward to our continued connection. If you ever have an accounting/tax question, or any other way I can be of assistance to you, feel free to drop me a line.
