"I’d like to share a reflection from a recent call with Nanci. I worked with Nanci on her book ‘’Happily Ever Now," which was a magical experience. When I reconnected with Nanci via zoom this past weekend, I was struck by how it feels to speak with someone with no agenda. (Oddly enough, after months of phone calls to work on the book, we'd never communicated by video.) While so many topics and ideas came up, I never once felt that there was any particular way I needed to react, anything I had to say, or anything I had to do. I could just be in the space and be with the words. No need to change, no need to be different. It was very refreshing but also a bit uncanny, because it made me realize how in most of my conversations, I am always trying to get the other person to change, or the other person is trying to get me to do something. It really opened something up for me around not needing myself or other people to change or be different. Putting it to the test these last few days, I'm finding it closes separation between me and the other person, and puts me back into a stance of completeness. A big difference already, and I feel excited to be doing this mind-blowing work with her!"
