Classroom Talk: 11/13/2022 - The past does not give birth to the future, any more than we might think to look for the living in a graveyard.

ED: Hello, I'm Dr. Ellen Dickstein. Welcome to a fireside chat with bestselling inner life author, Guy Finley. Today I want to talk about being new each moment.
