Best regards on your impending freedom @ericvancewalton.

Usually, elated times like these bring a something and/or someone to intercept the joys you're planning to experience. Be on guard!!! ;+)

Your 'fears' are understandable; but nowhere near the exhilaration of the freedom of signing off 'the man's' time clock, while fulfilling your life-yen with financial provision to boot.

Enjoy. 

**Update**: I took a look at your book on meditation; and, can say that the positive reviews and the brief sampling in Amazon makes it appear an interesting read. 

I wrote a perpetual daily devotional on God Speaking into our lives in everyday circumstances. I am sure your book was as cathartic in nature as mine.

Again, thanks for sharing! Best regards on your new endeavors.

Peace.
