I Have Shed My Winter Coat.

Pepper and I were on a hike together, and I was walking along wondering what James was going to want to share for his next post. Nothing had come up so far this week. But, then as if right on queue, James popped into my mind: “I have another message for the Collective!” “Ok,” I replied. “Whatcha got?”

James said, “I have shed my winter coat and with it I let go of what I no longer need. What is old and outdated in you? What are you ready to shed? Think of the snake that molts, leaving behind his old skin so that he can move forward anew.”

“Ooh, that’s good, James,” I told him. “I’ll get that out to everyone soon.” Being a little silly, as if I could almost see him grinning while he tipped his hat, James replied, “Why thank you, ma’am!”
