Hello, the lovely peoples. This is Marty, Martha, inviting you to a free masterclass that I have made called

Five Paths to Your Purpose. Probably the most common question I get from people is, how do I find my purpose?

Why don't I feel that I'm on purpose? Well, it turns out there are certain things you have to do to find your purpose, and I broke

them down into five, and I made a little masterclass about it. So if you'd like to see it, just go to

marthabec.com slash purpose, and you will be able to watch it without any charge at all.

Welcome to the Gathering Room podcast, the audio version of my weekly gathering room broadcast. I'm Martha Beck. All right. Let's talk about things. Now, I know, I'm just looking at the

place names. Somebody from like down the street is writing in Timbuktu just to get me talking.

Today, I was going to discuss with you something that I read when I was in my 40s, my early 40s,

and I thought, well said. It was Eckhart Tolle. I was reading a new earth, which was a new book at the time. And now is actually an old book. That's how long I've been alive, that a book I read in my

40s is now old, which kind of means if you put your logical brain intensely to work, you will find

that it means I am also old. And I reread a new earth the other day.

And this part that I had thought nicely said when I was in my 40s now really rang truer.

And I thought, so I was talking to Rowie about it.

And she said, well, some of these people will confront that issue and the others are confronting

that issue.

And because I liked it in my 40s and I like it again in my 60s, I decided all of us can

appreciate it.

It is actually a way to enjoy looking forward at the rest of your life.

Because as you know, we live in a culture that

celebrates youth every time I don't do much online, folks. I mean, I don't like go out looking

for trouble. I play this little game that makes me slide objects around on the screen. And somehow

they've figured out that I'm a million years old and in between sliding the things around on the screen.
