Dear all,

I’m really looking forward to seeing you tomorrow, for our next Candlelight Chat.

We’re going to talk about longing vs. craving; whether you should pursue acceptance or change; bittersweet music; and more. This one’s for you if your life feels stagnant, or if you’re trying to build better habits, or if you want to make changes, without turning your life upside down.

We’re very honored to host special guest Eric Zimmer, host of the critically acclaimed podcast, “The One You Feed”, and author of the upcoming new book — How a Little Becomes a Lot: The Art of Small Changes For a More Meaningful Life, an excerpt of which we’ll publish soon.

As I mentioned the other day, Eric is intense, caring, and very insightful, and you can feel these things the minute you start talking to him. You’ll see what I mean, when you meet him.

As usual, we’ll also invite you to ask your questions of Eric. You’ll be able to talk to him either via the written chat, or by “raising your hand” and coming online to chat with him.

Also as usual, please have a candle handy, but don’t light it yet. We’ll do that together.

And, please bring a journal, iPad, sketchbook, or whatever works best for you.

And finally, don’t worry if you can’t make it live. We’ll send out a video recording to paid and scholarship subscribers next week.
