Don't give up enthusiasm

“Nobody grows old merely by living a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.”

— Samuel Ullman

I would like to thank

for allowing me to co-host last night’s workshop. It was a great hour of knowledge, reflection, and sharing. Thank you so much and for those who joined us.

Beth and Karen it was great to see you!

I want to share a piece quoted from The Indian Journal of Psychiatry. It had such an impact on my healing journey that I added it to my book (with permission)My Road: A Runner’s Journey Through Persistent Pain to Healing

Listen to the biochemistry of belief and the inspiration for today’s poem out loud above or on The Run to Write Poetry Podcast.


                  Belief

Every tiny cell in my body—
is paying deep attention 

gathering my beliefs
listening to what I say

passing this information 
in and out

over 75 trillion cells 
I've heard. 

in and out
And they will obey. 

Write together Friday is tomorrow at 11 am (EST). Please join us. The link is below.
