You are held in my heart always honey! And by the smaller community, 12 week course and larger community, OnePinky.com/c

And you were SO missed on the call.

Today was a great day in so many ways….and then I got news tonight that my dear friend has breast cancer.

We were anxiously awaiting the news all day and I was trying to distract myself and yet it was playing in the background.

I spent a lot of time today on this website. This organization has been a leader in supporting cancer research.  (Also on the site I was silently praying for all the women who have had/have breast cancer and for their loved ones.  On a lighter note, I was supporting and loving the shades and varieties of pink and all that Pink(y) Power!).

Another reason for us all to be aware of how important it is to take care of oneself. Not to say that everyone who gets cancer does not take care of themselves. Let’s face it though, there are a lot of people who are aware of the toll that their body takes on lack of self care…to those women and men, I say, start here, start now, start today, one small Pinky step to self love at a time.

Perhaps this prayer will help. I love it.

Meditation

Earth Mother, star mother,

You who are called by a thousand names,

May all remember

We are cells in your body

And dance together.

You are the grain and the loaf

That sustains us each day,

And as you are patient with our struggles to

learn, so shall we be patient

With ourselves and each other.

We are radiant light and sacred dark

-the balance-

You are the embrace that heartens

And the freedom beyond fear.

Within you we are born,

We grow, live and die -

You bring us around the circle

To rebirth,

Within us you dance

Forever.

~Starhawk, in Earth Prayers

Keep up the great work dear Leah. Stay well and be with it all.

Learn, Live, Let Go and Love

I love you, XO (and treasure you).
