Quite thought-provoking, Mary. I need to try the highlighter test on my current story. First reaction - too much external conflict. I’ll work on balance! Thanks.
What a great read, Mary. I have often found that I will create a yoga practice when I'm away from home, especially in a beautiful location and have good intentions to keep it going when I get back home, but the setting is simply so different and life's responsibilities and task list get in the way. When I lived in Chicago, I felt the mid-westerners were the nicest people in the country as well. Now living in Silicon Valley, conflict is definitely everywhere, so I better keep writing before we can afford to jump up and move to the calm of the beach!

It’s a great test! I hope you discover some useful things, Bob!

Yes!! And all my fingers and toes are crossed that I’ll be able to continue at home after this trip. We will see!!
