Dear Maria Shriver,
Thank you so much for this transforming opportunity to hear these inspiring human beings. This was a stunning example of using universal consciousness to express and serve a kinder humanity, a humanity which longs to flourish through us.
To me, this Conference is a map of authentic journeys which show us the path that connects us to our common ground and purpose, ultimately connecting us to our true selves.
I am enriched.
PLEASE make the recording of this Conference webcast available on DVD for cost,($7.00) as Carnegie Mellon did with Randy Pausch's Last Lecture.
Every young woman, every woman should have the opportunity to see this and then pass it on to their family, friends including the men in their lives as well.
With Gratitude,
