| This research project and book, in being both a pursuit of passionate purpose
and the means for relationships along the way, has provided deep
meaning to my life. The intention is to help others in finding a practical
formula for a fulfilling life, and in the process I have personally received real
rewards. You and time will determine the book’s usefulness and whether
it represents further insights. This pursuit has gripped me, and many other
people, for over f ive years. In the process, I have stood on the “shoulders
of many giants” and have benef ited from connections with many people
and spiritual forces along the way. Heartfelt thanks go to each and every
being in this web of life who contributed to this journey.
I am grateful to all my teachers—my parents and relatives, the nuns at
St. Mary School, and my other educators over the years especially Wayne
Boss, Larry Cornwall, Natalie Goldberg, John Hess, Paul Humke, Barry
Johnson, Shinzen Young, and these educators’ lineage of teachers.
Thanks to members of the Radish team including the employees, investors,
customers, partners, and consultants who supported the entrepreneurial
pursuit of passionate purpose. Thanks for the dedication, hard work,
creativity, good times, and the challenges that, now looking back, were
gifts in themselves and the impetus for starting this endeavor. Thanks also
to my previous employers and my coworkers there. Special thanks to my associates
and clients of Technology and Management Solutions. |
