I am starting this blog to create a space for dialogue about personal and spiritual growth. It is my plan to post once or twice per month and will respond to any comment within forty eight hours. I urge readers to comment on any of my postings with agreement, disagreement, questions or expansions. This blog is meant as a vehicle for dialogue, reflection and community.

Please feel free to pass these postings along to friends, family and colleagues. That is, after all, the way to “grow” the blog.

In this light there are three cautions I need to emphasize:

1) Posting here is not private or confidential. Anything said here is in the public domain.

2) This blog is a space for general reflection on themes of personal and spiritual growth and as such it is not intended as a substitute for psychotherapy or other treatment.

3) As the “keeper of this space” I reserve the right to erase any comment that is not in line with its intention.

I hesitate to say these things but legal consultants make it clear that this is necessary. (Sigh)
