My beloved companion age 17 1/2 years passed over the Rainbow Bridge on August 13, 2012.  I held him in my arms as he passed and brought his body home to be buried in the Fairy Circle on my land.  That morning I knew I had to take him to the vet after nursing him along for two years.  I led him down to the garden where he stopped by the cosmos  bed.  The little green fairies began to massage his precious tender body.  He stood still for about 5 mins. turning a little this way and a little that way.  I believe they said goodby dear friend, see you in the ethers.  I miss him sooo much!  I don't miss watching him in his pain and embarassment. He had gotten to a place of living with shame each day.  It is a difficult ride to make.  Unfortunately, I have had to make it a few times before.  Now life is taking a definite turn.  I look back briefly but must continue on briskly meeting those who would join me.

Fire transforms whatever it touches.  It is the only element that can do thatl.  Born under the bright lights of the fire in the sky, the Aurora Borealis, I continue to be cast into the transformation fires throughout my life, like a lump of clay being shaped and smoothed by God my Creator.  My book, Born Of Fire, is a month by month diary of my journey into the darkness of near blindness and sickness, and into the light of healing and spiritual growth.  Although this diary covers thireen months, there are numerous tales and images of my life from birth through age fifty-eight.  I hope that, with my story, I have drawn a map that guides readers to heal from disease, destruction, and then to discovery.

My symbol

I just discovered a wonderful image of a cross known as the cross of Camargue.  It is over the door of the Church of Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer in Provence, FR.

It is made up of three symbols. 
At the top, the cross that is a sign of lived FAITH, decorated with cowhand forks, recalls our daily work.
The cross is rooted in the sailors anchor, a sign of HOPE amid the storms of life and the history of humanity.
The cross is surrounded by a heart, like an invitation to LOVE and to share with those who are near and those who are far away.

Here is the image of the cross:

Miracles all around us!!!

I was sitting under an ancient Live Oak Tree yesterday in Ocala, FL at the international Live Oak Horse Show preparing to eat a sumptuous tail gate lunch.  Joining me were dear friends Brent and Sharon, Sue and Graham and brother Gary.  An suv pulled in next to our picnic site under the tree and out stepped a young woman.  We were drawn to her and asked her to join us.  Although she declined lunch and wine, she did accept some yummy brownies and choc. brickle.  In the meantime, we discovered she was a holistic vet and a like-minded Light Filled individual.    What a grand reunion we had with our new friend Lynn.   We networked and exchanged cards and information with Lynn.  We were all uplifted by our reunion with another old soul healer.
Namaste

Sunday in March!!!
Thought for this week:

If every life is a river, then it's little wonder that we do not even notice the changes that occur until we are far out in the darkest sea.  One day you look around and nothing is familiar, not even your own face!

The empty word, the broken phrase, the stumbling thought- these we place upon your altar O God!  Sanctify them with your truth even as you sanctify us with your truth.  Walk with us in the way that we take, lest our footsteps stumble in the darkness and we lose our way.  Amen
