“I find myself being more of a self-observer, experimenting and watching…
“There’s an awareness of what thoughts are coming out of my mouth and their impact… and an awareness of others, too, that has developed into a real appreciation and connection to them…
“I find I am seeking out more learning for myself… it’s caused me to read more books, too.”
~ Doug
