I'd like to hear today from you one moment in your life that changed the course of your direction. One insight or dream revision moment on the ground. Advice that someone gave you an experience that you had. I'd like to hear how it was just before that, how you saw the world before what happened, some of the components, parts of that moment, as if we're walking into a film and what changed after that share your transformational moment

I had to felt profoundly then that I needed an education to inform my writing. And now I went from there to grad school to continue my education

And that really I should have told that story first because that changed me forever. I went from not believing in love to believing in love. And maybe that's kind of a cliche story, but now I believe love is a real thing. I believe soulmates are really a real thing. And thanks for this. A bunch are popping into my mind, but thank you.

But through Joseph Campbell's teachings, it encouraged me to have the trust in the path to a degree where I then set out
