What a read, Eira! Thank you. This is a publishable piece if you haven't done so already. I knew right away that you had a compelling topic on a job that few of us know much about. But you brought the less known background that we all inspire to: "How to get those transcendent feelings of being truly alive with heart pumping on all cylinders?" At the same time, how does one find the balance....an ongoing struggle. I am following you for more and it is a pleasure to meet you. You read my piece, "My Sister and Her Punk Rock Cats," and that's how I found you.

Carpe diem and stay connected,

Mark
