*My dear friends,

I am contemplating a short hiatus in the near future, but i can't go before we celebrate another *gift of jewels* together.  would you like to join me in spreading some love around the world again?  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:  necessaryroom@gmail.com.  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.  

simply good vibes...let's keep the fire burning...

giving thanks for sister-friends, like you...

I saw these prayer flags hanging on the wall in the yurt at the wellness center.  I was so touched in that moment, I couldn't help but snap a pic of them so that I could take them with me wherever I go.  (exhale).  

I can not adequately thank all of you who have given me so much loving support over the last 3 1/2 years but especially during these last few months.  Having such wonderful sister-friends have been indispensable to my healing journey.  You certainly learn a lot about those who surround you when challenges arise.  No more empty wells for me...bring forth the ever-flowing spring of love and goodness.  So I wanted to take this opportunity to simply say, THANK YOU!!!!  My heart has been forever touched.

one love.
