Teaching philanthropy or gift planning to financial advisors, I am often asked, "Were is the sale?" I have now reached an age at which I pretend to be deaf. "Where is the soul?", I respond cupping my ear. To which the class answers more loudly, "Where is the sale?" We continue in this way until the class rises to its feet, and dances in a frenzy waving their hands and shouting together, "Where is the sale?" Then, I join the dance waving my hands in manic exultation, "Yes, here is the soul!" At that point perhaps I have made the sale, to the extent such is possible.

Where is the soul!!!!! LOVE! Love you! Love this blog! Had known about you for a while from my friend Charlie Joseph, CAP but looked you up only today when I rec'd an e/m from another new-found love Charles Maclean w/you quoted. On March 9 in Rochester I rec'd the same question and another FA responded "if you think like that you will live in scarcity; if you understand this (the soul as you put it) you will love in abundance" -- Michael Palumbos. When I start my blog on creating a legacy-after my youngest leaves for college in the fall-I will certainly be in touch. Thank you for existing and may the bondage-free gods be with you. Going to add you to my website now!
