Dear Friends,
I wish to send a special thank you to the many soul friends who sent me caring messages for my Sabbatical
Time. I received so much support for taking time to nurture myself - it was such a blessing! No Guilt!
This summer I had a delightful experience of sychronicity that I would like to share with you. On July 2nd,
I went on a full moon walk, quite disheartened because I had no company! Here I was on an exquisite beach that I have so longed
to share - and I was all alone. As the moon "in its ancient splendor" rose over the bay, I asked in prayer: "Spirit, this
beach should be full of people. Where is everyone? I’ve been trying for a year, but no one seems to realize how this
monthly ritual could nurture their souls in a deep way. What can I do differently?" I took pictures of the beach and the rising
moon to share with people - so you would know what you were missing!
Then, just one week before the next full moon, I received a visit from an Anam Cara friend, who arrived at
my door with tremendous excitement. Her book discussion group had just read a book on a Jewish woman’s journey through
the yearly festivals, and they all had a burning question: "What can we do to nurture our children’s spirituality?"
What traditions are authentic for us and how can we share them?" We talked for an hour, and then she asked if we could get
together with her freinds to continue the discussion.
I was thrilled - this is a topic that is very dear to my heart - and I felt so grateful that my experience
and training could be useful to others. Then my friend asked me: "Are you doing a full moon walk this month?" I said "I’d
be happy to." She invited all her friends and we had 11 adults and 12 children enjoying the Blue Moon on July 30th. I told
them about my prayer the month before - and we all were excited how that prayer was answered!
Then one week later, I received the pictures from the July 2nd "solo" walk. They were magical! Every other
picture was suffused with an unearthly light. Above is the picture of the full moon. I have a deep sense that I was not alone
on that beach. Nor will I ever be again.
Come join us for full moon walks on Sept. 27 & Oct 27 and for Nurturing Spirituality in Children on Nov
4th.
