I guess I could delete my post, seeing that you posted about that… will do 🙂 0 Reply Holly in Ohio4 days agoHolly in OhioYou too, Ose!

I am grateful to have been a part of a truly sacred community all these years. I feel that I have received so much more than I could possibly give. Lately, I had been limiting myself to posting on what was our "prayer Tuesday" but now that day has become a coffee clatch of sorts and, although I can see that many dear ones are blessed by this, I feel it is time for me to find another forum in which to share my own musings.

I have always looked forward to hearing from you, often on Prayer Tuesdays. I care deeply about you Diane. You have inspired and comforted me. I have identified with many situations that you have dealt with over the years. Now, especially with losing your sister. Many, many tears. Please remember, dear Diane, that so many of us here love and care deeply about you. Sent with my love, ♥️ Mary 2 Reply Diane2 months agoDianeDearest Mary....I feel the same way about you my friend. You light up this sacred community with your love, compassion and faith and you have always been an inspiration to me as well.

It seems now there is a coffee clatch on Tuesdays here…..which is lovely too of course and it seems that so many are enjoying it. So be it. My last post for “prayer tuesday” was a blessing because Ursula’s sister cp responded…it was a beautiful “coincidence” (although I know it was divinely inspired) that she visited when I mentioned Ursula’s family and wondered how they were doing. I decided then, that it would be my last “prayer tuesday” post since Tuesdays are now something different here. I will visit from time to time to keep up with so many of the beautiful dear souls who have journeyed with me these many years. Thank you so much for reaching out Mary….it was so kind of you. I hold you close in my heart. With grateful love ♥ Read More1 Reply Diane2 months agoDianeDear Pilgrim......indeed this lovely site has changed. Very different conversations and it seems it has gone in a different direction. I admit to being somewhat sad about that but change is inevitable and everyone seems to be enjoying the new direction and ethos so who am I to say. I am not engaging as much any more and so it was a delight to happen upon your post for me. Thank you my dear friend...so very grateful to know that you have been thinking of me.

I am not engaging as much any more and so it was a delight to happen upon your post for me. Thank you my dear friend…so very grateful to know that you have been thinking of me. I am also grateful to be able to tell you that I have been receiving many hugs from God and reassurance that this is where He wants us to be. Recent family times together, along with the discovery of some trails where I can re-immerse myself in nature’s gifts has helped. God put in on my heart to investigate the Sand Crane migration, which occurs out here in the West this time of year. To my delight, one of the largest gathering of Sand Cranes (almost 1 million) is in Nebraska, only a 5 hour drive from us. So, on Friday, we are heading out to a beautiful preserve in Grand Island NE to witness this marvel of nature. This was something I never would have been a part of back on the east coast. And so….as always is true in my life, God has been faithful and patient with me. Thank you again so much for the gift of your friendship all these years here in this sacred community. I will visit from time to time if only to stay in touch with you and see how you are doing in your new surroundings. I hope you are loving every moment. ~With my grateful love ♥ Read More3 Reply Holly in Ohio2 months agoHolly in OhioI meant beautiful in spirit, but I’m sure you have other beauty, too. 1 Reply Christine2 months agoChristine😊🌷 2 Reply Robert Bushman2 months agoRobert BushmanThank you. 3 Reply ch2 months agoch😁 2 Reply « Previous 1 … 8 New to Practice?
