I received a thought-provoking response to my last EQ Reflection, so I am sharing
that below. In addition, I have a Birthday request and two other announcements
below.

Response to "EQ Reflection: Making Decisions as the World Tour Continues!"

I believe the right answers always come from our heart but that it is
difficult to know where, truly where, we're getting the answer from,
our head or our heart. Sometimes our head plays tricks with us and
makes us think we're speaking from our heart.

When I'm really struggling, what helps me to get clarity is to not focus
on where the answer is coming from, but to focus on whether or not the
answer is being driven out of my love for someone or something or my
fear of someone or something. Any answer that I can track back to a
fear is an answer that I ultimately know won't serve me. Conclusions
driven by love I know will always ultimately, perhaps not
immediately, but ultimately, will create more of what I truly want in
my life and the Universe.

Perhaps this will help others get clarity.

Thanks
