Greetings friends,<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
O' how I've missed you all. I am moved to stop in today, not only to wish our dearest Tracey Amani of <a href="http://wwwnardog.blogspot.com/">Quietly Kickin and Screamin</a> a very <a href="http://wwwnardog.blogspot.com/2013/06/milestone.html">HAPPY 50th BIRTHDAY!</a>!! (whoo-hoooo), but to also express my deep gratitude to all of you for the loving-kindness that has sprung from the doors of our Necessary Room. It's kindred spirits, like you and Tracey, who remind me on a daily basis that there is still a lot of good people living on this earth. Please join me and take a moment to stop by <a href="http://wwwnardog.blogspot.com/">Tracey's place</a> to wish her a very happy 50th birthday. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Although I have not been able to blog as often lately, (<i>ok, i know, not much at all</i>), I've remain connected to many of you. Our collective project, <a href="http://momentarysolace.blogspot.com/2011/06/selahs-angels-random-act-of-kindness.html">Selah's Angels</a>, still continue to operate on voluntary basis, even today, and has been making significant contributions in the lives of many individuals whose lives are touched by cancer, illness, or who simply are in need of a random act of kindness. Give thanks for all the beautiful greeting cards you have gifted to others. They truly make a difference.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One Love,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Today marks 4 years since we have been hanging out together in our <b>Necessary Room</b>!!! Can you believe how fast time flies but one thing is for certain - it has always been an absolute joy. So my dear friends, what shall we to do celebrate this occasion?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I was thinking that maybe we could bless the life of someone in need of upliftment by mailing them a greeting card brimming with positive vibes and love. There's just something about personally putting pen to paper that brings about a sort of magic like no other. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
If you care to join us, please leave a comment on this post or email me at: <i>necessaryroom@gmail.com </i>for the person's contact information.</div>
<br />
Let's continue to be the change we wish to see in this beautiful and abundant world.<br />
<br />
Prayers sent up for all those in need, especially during the holiday season which can be so difficult for many. We collectively hold you up in higher consciousness. (<a href="http://www.projectmedishare.org/">Haiti</a>, i see you)...<br />
<br />
And seriously, this space could not exist without all of you. THANK YOU all soooo very much!!! I am absolutely amazed and blessed by the close friendships that have developed here. You simply melt my heart. xoxox<br />
<br />
one love... <br />

I am contemplating a short hiatus in the near future, but i can't go before we celebrate another *<b><a href="http://momentarysolace.blogspot.com/2009/08/gift-of-jewels.html">gift of jewels</a></b>* together. <i>would you like to join me in spreading some love around the world again?</i> if you are interested in this international pen pal project and would like to send a randomly selected participant a greeting card by snail mail, please leave a comment on this post or email me at: <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d;">necessaryroom@gmail.com. </span>Entries will remain open until Friday July 20, 2012. We must all agree, however, to honour our commitment because some loving soul will be not-so-subtly stalking their mail delivery person as they eagerly await your jewel's arrival. All jewels should be postmarked on or before September 11, 2012, the Ethiopian New Year. </div>
