****Hi Richard!

I really enjoyed "Contact" what an awesome movie. I found that entire conversation quite disconcerting (obviously)....why would we all be here occupying space if it is not to fulfill our own, the community, the world's dreams?

I think in your PS you pointed to a very valid point...that fear is what keeps people stagnant. That leap into living a life of dreams is exceptionally scary. In fact, I have been mid leap for about a year now! It is exhilerating, frightening, awe-inspiring, nerve wracking, and I would not trade it for ANYTHING!

Thanks for responding, Richard, quite thought provoking!

With Purpose and Passion,

JULIE
