Little Miss Laura Woodrow organized a gathering of women a year ago. The idea was to COME TOGETHER, FEAST, CONNECT, DROP IN, DROP DOWN, GROUND, LOVE, SUPPORT, ENCOURAGE and FILL EACH OTHER UP..... It has been HUGLEY successful. Last night we CELEBRATED our one year anniversary.....
On the first night a year ago we went around the circle, said who we were, where we were, what we wanted to get out of the group....
I wanted to find a group of women who wanted to study the "Artist Way" .......
I DID IT..... We had a BEAUTIFUL 12 week class..... IT was TRANSFORMATIONAL for me.... I learned to ASK, something from someone or SPIRIT every day and RECORD the results.. It was an exercise on building FAITH.
I learned to do one KIND thing for myself EVERYDAY.... WOW... Life is verry different when I really take care of myself and am really nice to myself, it is BEAUTIFUL... I learned to take myself OUT on ARITST DATES... Which basically means PLAY PLAY PLAY..... ENJOY ENJOY ENJOY......
I'm THRILLED to have lovely friends WONDERFUL AMAZING WOMEN.....Women I would not have meet had Laura not GATHERED us together.... Thank you Laura
Our TRIBE is the WOMEN OF THE WORLD, not just the small group here on the Peninsula, OUR TRIBE, MY TRIBE is WOMEN everywhere in the world.. I just have to REMEMBER to keep my heart open, know all we all want is to be LISTENED to, LOVED, CARED FOR, SUPPORTED, HELD.......
I've been in CIRCLES before..... My "Group" With my BELOVED Dellalou, Judy, Liz, Joyce, Maralyn, they were my "church" my Spiritual teachers, my Mothers.... We came together weekly for YEARS, we did a TONAL meditation, we SHARED our INTENTIONS.... I thank those women for helping me become the person I am today... Dellalou is in my HEART forever, a bit of her soul is in me.....That group dissolved after Judy moved to New Mexico.... after Dellalou died... AND each women is off continuing the circles in their own lives... so the circles continue spiraling on forever in many directions.
I want to REMEMBER, after I leave California in November, leave all these new women I have grown close to, women I now love....that my tribe is WOMEN OF THE WORLD and the connections will continue to grow where ever I am.... It just takes time... Time to grow together, share joys and sorrows, listen and be "there" for each other.... AND that it is OKAY... OKAY that my tribe is not all in one location... okay that the women I love are "spread out".. that I can not be with allllll the women I love in one place.....sometimes I MISS all the different women I love... I have LYNDA, Judith & Barbara in NEW ZEALAND, Marion, MJ & Yvone in Holland, Reni in Switzerland, when I'm not here in California I will miss the WOMEN here that I love....I dont want to miss anyone, I wish they were all in one place with me alll the time.... WHAT I want to REMMBER is that they are. THEY ARE ALL IN MY HEART...
Soooo many women in my HEART, Gratitude for the LOVE that overflows from the fulfillment I have from the WOMEN OF MY TRIBE....the WOMEN OF THE WORLD.

A VISION COME TRUE.....
A shared meal,
under the oak tree,
dinning by candle light.
