Dear Ones —
I had the loveliest evening last night, speaking to such a warm and generous crowd in Malibu. Thank you to all who came!
For me, the most touching moment arrived when a young man approached me in the book-signing line and asked if I would sign the last page of his journal. He had just started this journal, and said he was hoping that — by the time he'd filled its pages with thoughts and prayers and contemplations — he would be ready to make the next big step in his life. He asked me to write some inspiring words for him at the end, to help launch him. Not knowing him at all, but loving that he was including me in this Grand Venture, I wrote: "Now you know what you have to do. Go do it."
Today my prayer is that this young man will be able, when the time comes, to banish whatever fears might try to hold him back. Actually, that's my prayer for all of us today. And every day, really!
This quote from Hafiz has always helped me…
Big kiss to you all, and GO DO IT,
Liz

WORD OF THE NIGHT: PERIGEE
Holy shit, you guys, I wish you could see the moon over the Pacific Ocean at this very moment, like I am seeing it right now in Malibu. I just finished my talk (THANK YOU, BEAUTIFUL LOVELY AUDIENCE!) and came outside to the best imaginable view of the SUPER MOON.
Are you looking at this, wherever it is night?
The moon is at is PERIGEE (just learned this word) — its closest point to earth. Feels like you could reach it with a pretty decent stepladder. I've never quite seen anything like it.
If you ever wanted to shoot for the moon, everyone, I would suggest doing it RIGHT NOW. Just stand on your tiptoes and go for it.
Gonna go stare at it some more and marvel.
Have a BLESSED night.
Love from your friendly local Cancerian,
Liz
