The Three Signs
To become aware of your experience as you read — and to help our conversation — you might want to use these signs to mark the text or your notes (if you are doing audio):
🟦 Square = What feels true? (“This squares/resonates with me.”)
🔵 Circle = What are you wondering? (“This is new, circling in my mind, making me curious.”)
🔷 Diamond = What are you choosing? (“This is my growing edge, my decision point, or my next small step.”)

That’s the one place where all discussion is happening now — not in post comments. Keeping it in one thread makes it easier to follow, respond, and stay connected over time.
This is an ongoing conversation: just because someone posted days or weeks ago doesn’t mean the thread has gone cold. Add your voice anytime — it all weaves together.

That’s it — read, comment, reply, and let us know how your heart is doing,
