open space poetry

[Esther Ewing]

Is the Nancy White we are talking about once called the Civil Service Song  
Writer?

Hi  Tree:

Was the 'dazzling' event the big one  - the invitation only  one?  
Wasn't that soon?  I really liked the poem..........is  Nancy White from 
Canada - if she is, then she's the Nancy White living in  Toronto, but 
originally from Charlottetown, PEI - who I went to high  school with.

When is your surgery?  Soon I expect.  You sound  as if you are full of 
energy......and that is a good thing.

I'm in  the throes of a lot of work.  Just in the middle of a 2 day 
workshop  called "Out of Hiding".  Plus, just got 2 large contracts with 
the  federal government, involving work with 2 groups of 12 that will 
extend  over 120 days for each group............and will include 
'in-room' work,  1-1 coaching, a listserve and lots of reading and 
listening to CD's.   One group is all women, one is a diversity council 
group of both men and  women.  A lot of work, and I feel somewhat 
overwhelmed - but it is  what my intention was all about!

And, I must breathe and allow my body  to give me direction on how to 
handle this one!

Would love to hear  from you - particularly were you are in terms of 
getting in touch with  your daughter.

Love
Cathy
