May 5^th – Ron and I celebrating our 19^th wedding anniversary. WOW!!! and double WOW!!! that is longer than I have ever been with anyone including my parents, Awesome! Suffice it to say we are a great team, we work well together and we are the best of friends. In fact he is my very best friend and I believe that is what keeps us together even when the going gets tough as it sometimes does.

Here's a request from Gail . . .

The next booklet in my series of publications is nearing completion and it is time now to reach out and ask for your help. Would you please e-mail me (or write) privately and tell me some of the important things you have discovered about being a Mother that you would want to share with your daughter who is a soon-to-be Mom? Things like what you wish you had known or things you know now that you had never imagined about being a Mother - or just a general comment about the experience.

(I try again to establish communication)

Dear Daughter,

You are still and will always be my #1 daughter. You are a part of my heart, my soul, my life! You were for so many years my bestest friend, my closest companion and I believed then as I do now that you were a super woman, and that will never change.

Dear Beloved Daughter,

     I hope you won't throw me to the wolves for sending you this but, you know, sometimes I just have to put in my two cents worth.

     I believe you know how deeply I love you. And I hope you know that I wish only the best for you - the best life you can live, the best friends a person can have, the sweetest cherries on the tree - only the best for you.

 “Your daughter has a few weeks or maybe a few months to live.” These are the words that seem to swallow your heart and even when you know they are coming they tear you apart.

To say we were pleased as punch with our workshop and its results would  be the proverbial understatement. We had 10 dedicated participants (a perfect number to work with as it turned out) that fully participated. Follow up comments were most appreciated. Check'em out below.

. . . we get to facilitate our Power of Peace Workshop at Unity of Gainesville, 8801 NW 39th Avenue, beginning at the new time of 1:30 - 5:30 p.m. Bring two blankets and a pillow and wear loose, comfortable, clothes. You know Gail  - she likes to r-e-e-e-lax and we're gonna do some of that during the afternoon.

. . . of thanks I recently sent to a friend who graciously prepared a gift for us. Perhaps it will prod you to remember someone who has touched your life and you will be led to express your appreciation to them.

Dear (Friend),

 . . . for a change in your world? Well ready or not change it is a happening! I would like to remind you that the change you experience in your world is entirely up to you.

It is a new year and it is time for a new way and we are ready to lead the way. I am excited and thrilled to invite you  to our first workshop of the New Year - The Power of Peace - a workshop geared to get us tuned in, turned on and ready for a new focus in life. The date is Feb 28th at Unity of Gainesville FL.

Well a lot has happened since last we posted. I think I started a previous post with that same sentence. We are now in the process of re-launching our Workshop career after having spent the last eight years recovering and doing something else – mainly working for the Man. Have to admit we had some great times, made some great friends, saw some amazing country and touched a lot of lives. “The Call” however is now sounding so loudly in our ears and pulling so strongly at our hearts that we are answering.
