I just couldn&#39;t help thinking about Ed&#39;s view and impression of my writing. His words encouraged me that my voice, my notes, are coming out. It wasn&#39;t as if I doubted this, it&#39;s just great to know that it is connecting as I desire. Ed&#39;s comments also wrap around some transitions I&#39;m going through relating to Epic Living, entrepreneur pursuits and life (of course). <strong>More to come<\/strong> on this front in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n<p>I believe my Father (I&#39;m trying to get out of just calling him God) speaks and works through connecting the dots. You know, one conversation a month ago that connects to an email seemingly out of the blue. It&#39;s a great way of communicating. <\/p>\n<p>So there is my wife, Eileen, Marc, and Ed over a 45-day period exhorting, suggesting, confirming.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I am grateful.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#0160;<\/p>\n<fieldset class=\"zemanta-related\">\n<legend class=\"zemanta-related-title\">Related articles<\/legend>\n<div class=\"zemanta-article-ul zemanta-article-ul-image\" style=\"margin: 0; padding: 0; overflow: hidden;\">\n<div class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li-image zemanta-article-ul-li\" style=\"padding: 0; background: none; list-style: none; display: block; float: left; vertical-align: top; text-align: left; width: 84px; font-size: 11px; margin: 2px 10px 10px 2px;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/epicliving.blogs.com\/epic_living\/2013\/02\/managing-your-thoughts.html\" style=\"box-shadow: 0px 0px 4px #999; padding: 2px; display: block; border-radius: 2px; text-decoration: none;\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/i.zemanta.com\/142258813_80_80.jpg\" style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; border: 0; display: block; width: 80px; max-width: 100%;\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/epicliving.blogs.com\/epic_living\/2013\/02\/managing-your-thoughts.html\" style=\"display: block; overflow: hidden; text-decoration: none; line-height: 12pt; height: 80px; padding: 5px 2px 0 2px;\" target=\"_blank\">Managing Your Thoughts<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li-image zemanta-article-ul-li\" style=\"padding: 0; background: none; list-style: none; display: block; float: left; vertical-align: top; text-align: left; width: 84px; font-size: 11px; margin: 2px 10px 10px 2px;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/eblingroup.com\/2012\/08\/thats-a-good-question.html\" style=\"box-shadow: 0px 0px 4px #999; padding: 2px; display: block; border-radius: 2px; text-decoration: none;\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/i.zemanta.com\/105148223_80_80.jpg\" style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; border: 0; display: block; width: 80px; max-width: 100%;\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/eblingroup.com\/2012\/08\/thats-a-good-question.html\" style=\"display: block; overflow: hidden; text-decoration: none; line-height: 12pt; height: 80px; padding: 5px 2px 0 2px;\" target=\"_blank\">That&#39;s a Good Question<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/fieldset>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This post came over to me as a gift last week.
