Dear Friends,

These past two months have been filled with wonderful connections and supportive community. We began our Mist-Filled Path Celtic Spirituality Circle and that has been a rich experience of homecoming for me. It is such a delight to be able to share the astoundingly beautiful way of life this book describes. I feel so much more aware of the nurturing presences of Spirit and allies in Spirit in the sacred landscape and the sacred community. There is a wonderful song that has been singing me these past 2 months: "Spirit of the Wind, Carry Me. Spirit of the Wind, Carry Me Home. Spirit of the Wind, Carry Me Home to Myself." Singing this song has initiated a deep sense of being fully present to life and to all the joys and challenges that life brings. May it bring a blessing for you!

We also had a fabulous turnout for our "Nurturing Spirituality in Children" Workshop. We had a lively discussion and will continue with a second workshop on January 13th. It was so delightful to witness women re-discovering their own inner wisdom in parenting. Please know that children are always welcome when you come to visit Anam Cara. We have plenty of resources to keep them engaged, while you have a cup of tea and chat, or browse our bookstore. We also have a fabulous selection of picture books for children and books & music for parents, and for nurturing the Spirit!

We will have a light schedule during the holiday months - as people are so busy. But good things are cooking for 2005. As we approach our 2nd year anniversary we are looking into ways to expand our programming, and working together to bring a range of new possibliites! That’s all I’ll say for now - the rest is a New Year’s surprise!

Have a wonderful holiday season. Be sure to take some time to rest & Simplify, Simplify, so you are truly blessed by the gifts of Spirit. Jeanne
