Full Frosty Moon of November, 2018
I am rich today with autumn's gold,
All that my covetous hands can hold...
- Gladys Harp *
Happy (American) Thanksgiving!
I have missed catching up with you via my
WINGS newsletter, although I do hope you've been hanging out with me on my
blog.
I am dropping by briefly today to say hello, and to check in with a
couple of updates, including a very important invitation for you!
And I hope that you will receive this email as a chance to pause, and
give thanks (whether it's a holiday where you are, or not!), because
despite so much strife, scary news, and bitter losses this year, there
are gifts incalculable for us to be thankful for.
And heaven knows, in this intense time of year, a chance to slow down and catch one's breath is a treasure.
Most of all, I want to thank you for being who you are, with all your heart, in a world that needs people with heart.
May you and all you love be richly, beautifully blessed.
Love,
* I could not find any biographical
information on Gladys Harp, only her oft-quoted poem on Autumn. If
anyone knows more about her, I'd love to learn more.
A Personal Update
I want to thank you so much for your prayers, your good energy, your
encouragement, and many kindnesses throughout this year that has dealt
me a number of difficult health setbacks.
My September and then October surgeries both appear to have been a
success, and I am on the mend, though it has been pretty tough, to be
honest.
But I have no doubt in my mind that the good wishes and friendship from
so many, including countless folks I have never even met, have made all
the difference.
On this day that we give thanks, I give each of you my heartfelt honor and gratitude.
Your beauty and generosity are really beyond words. Bless you.

And speaking of blessings..
It's Time to Gather Together for (possibly!) the World's Biggest Blessing Event!
It's Time!
It's Time!
All Are Invited! All Are Welcome!
Join Our Global Prayer Circle Wherever You Are ~
Starting Sunday, Nov. 25 and then every Sunday through Solstice and/or Christmas.
Our global Solstice Advent Sun Wheel celebration is heading into its 14th year, and still growing!
Every Sunday evening at sunset, wherever you live, whatever your time zone, starting on Nov. 25,
countless hundreds (probably thousands!) of us across the planet will
be lighting candles on an Advent wreath. This is a practice that
welcomes all faiths and philosophies with deepest respect.
Each year, the participants have told me that it has become a deeply
meaningful ceremony for them. It is especially welcomed in families of
mixed beliefs and practices. Some have also noted that it feels like we
are doing “The Wave,” except we are offering joyful, globe-circling prayers.
It's never too late to start (until the countdown is over!), since each
week, we re-light each candle from the beginning. It's super simple, and
you can't get it wrong.
You are needed -- this year, more than ever!
PLEASE make plans to join us and add your blessings and prayers.
Go here for the 2018 information.
I will be updating the other details each Sunday, such as the meanings for that week's candle.
Please share with everyone you know. There is great power in our numbers and the more, the merrier!

 Many
of you have asked, but regrettably, because of the unanticipated
difficulty of these last several months, I am not yet able to open for
Tarot appointments, or plan classes with any degree of certainty. That
also means I will not be offering Tarot reading gift certificates for
the holidays this year.
I hope that in the new year, this will change, and our journeys together will resume.
 However
- in the meantime, if you are looking for something unique for the more
enlightened folks on your shopping list, you can check out my Soul Card Kits.
I have fresh herbal and botanical ingredients (many of which were harvested here at Laurel Hill Cottage, most of which are organic, and all of which are sustainably gathered).
Let me know, and I will be happy to include a note to your special recipients in your name.

For together, no matter what the future may hold, we are part of an invincible, inevitable force for good.
