Book excerpt: Seated at The Master's Table chronicles Dodd's life changing journey that abruptly began in New York with the events of Tuesday, September 11, 2001. While the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis she received the year before was significant, it didn't compare with seeing the World Trade Center Twin Towers melt like candles on a birthday cake. Curiously, Dodd saw it as a decisive moment to begin living life differently. Dodd tells of her journey toward a more purposeful life. Seated depicts the sometimes tough process of moving toward a more conscious life. To the point of 9/11, her life had been almost mechanical and always based on somebody else's script. Seated speaks to not only the necessity of each of us writing our own script, but writing that script based on regular consultation with the Master, preferably over a great meal!
