I'm with you on the need for projection... I read your piece on the benefits of acting training for people who lead rituals and thought it was quite an inspired idea. It was a good thing the circle wasn't any bigger, or some people wouldn't have been heard at all (and I know that probably includes me... I hate speaking in public).

And I too would have loved the tubed lights... maybe if I save up, I'll be able to get some at the after-Christmas sales next year.

Thank you for the supportive words!
