Thank you all so much for a wonderful weekend, and tempting as it is I will not list names. My word for the weekend is "nourishment" in every possible way that word may be interpreted :-). However, a special thank you for all those who attended and played at our "Finding Your Celtic Story" workshop where there was intense passion and creativity shared through the creation of personal Bride's crosses and shared labyrinth to take them on a journey through. You folks generously charged up my spiritual direction several "notches". John xxx (one day I'll share the story of xxx that I put at the end of letters to people, something I was taught as a child. These xxx are a trinity of swans in the spirit of Bride travelling with love, prayer and all good wishes from the sender to receiver)
