Tranquility DeJure, November 21st, 2010.

Welcome to the 203rd edition of Tranquility DeJure, a guide to bringing tranquility to your everyday.

Today's show features upcoming happenings and musings on money with the lovely Kim Palmer.

Ooh la, a reminder that we have a Tranquility to your iPhone app. There is a link in the show notes.

And some upcoming workshops and retreats. One is the latest e-course. We'll be starting actually this week, November 24th, the

Tranquility Project. Also, our seasonal Tranquilology Teleclass on Monday, January 3rd, a new year,

New U urban retreat in Washington, D.C. on January the 8th, workshops in Montreal, and in New York.

All this is in the show notes.

Hi, Kim. Welcome. Hi, Kim, welcome.

Hi, Kimberly.

Thanks for having me.

Absolutely.

It's fun to have you on this show.

I feel like I've known you for years kind of peripherally.
