wouldn’t it be so cool to know that you 

aided in someone’s dreams coming true ... 

that you played a part (no matter how small) 

to turn a dream into REALITY??!

now is your chance .... 

my dear artist friend Jenny Wentworth has a dream ... 

an aspiration to paint in ITALY!!! 

(oh how magical would THAT be?!?)  

if you want to aid Jenny in fulfilling

this dream ... check out her sidebar to

see how you can help that happen!!

and with that being said ...

WHAT DREAMS ARE YOU

if we all used 

that power wisely ... 

living lives full of 

kindness and bravery 

and love and peace.

....tapping into my wise self

i recently just finished up the blessing and yumminess of 

WINTER SOUL LODGE with my sister, earth mama, 

the keeper of the fire Pixie Campbell .... 

an experience i am certain i can eloquently put into words ... 

so i have decided to list words that sum up 

bits and pieces of my experience that was 

WINTER SOUL LODGE

moving

seeker

community

comfort

safety

student

fire

grounded

warmth

white elephant

i'm so sad to see this beautiful, beautiful experience

come to a close ... but i know, beyond the shadow

of a doubt, that it has changed me and 

that it will stay with me...

 linger, wrap its tentacles around me gently,

stir me up, remind me, show me .... 

time and time again.

thank you Pixie  (you continue to teach me)

and all my gorjuss, magical

soul lodge sisters.

(you are living radiance)

peaceandlove,

kolleen
