Online Introduction
Peripherally here and there and sometimes more directly, I have mentioned Landmark Education and the Landmark Forum. It was a program that I participated in back in 2004 and I have continued to participate in ever since.
To me, what I got out of the Landmark Forum was priceless. I lived in a world of fantasy and dreams where there was the remote possibility of something great happening, but being powerless to do anything about it. Everything would fall to chance or be driven by my circumstances. While I never said it out loud, I figured the world wouldn't miss me if I wasn't here.
Taking the Landmark Forum opened my eyes and I've been peeling back the layers of crap that I had piled on top of myself that has been preventing me from expressing myself and pursuing that which is important to me rather than waiting for it to accidentally fall in my lap. I reconnected relationships where I had burned the bridges and I let my family back into my life. I have friends who are committed to causing something in the world instead of talking about what happened last night on TV. I'm writing a screenplay and I'm in a wonderful relationship.
If you'd asked me two and a half years ago, where I would be at the end of 2006, I would not have described my world as it is today. I would still be talking about something that's a pipe dream, instead of something that I get to live, breathe, and hold onto.
For a short time over the holidays, Landmark is offering a video presentation online. Check it out. You might find something for yourself in it, too.

I couldn't find a link to your email addy, so I figured I'd add a comment. Anyway, I just took an app for ILP in Dallas. So, I googled it and found you.
I'm excited and skeered at the same time. Any advice?
