I am a glutton. It's the passion of us 7's on the Enneagram (also perhaps Scanners or Renaissance Souls?). It may not be about food (although that fits for me) but a glutton for anything -- experience, doing, seeing, touching, hearing, learning, etc..

I love this book - Patti has taken what could be a hackneyed subject--how would you live if you had 37 days left? - and made it sing through her deep heart and generously wonderful writing. The poem lost and found which is: we have to accept being lost before we even think about being found and we have to accept that....

I have built my reputation on being able to get results, FAST and often when many others have tried and failed. That’s why I often travel the globe working with rock stars, celebrities, diplomats and even royalty. So what’s the key to finding the answers?
