You can still take time in December this year to mediatate and come inside. Do a year end inventory and forgive and be filled with gratitude. You have it all in your precious mind and in your heart. Then in August we will be back and create newness to gether. I appreciate that you have been there for many years. I hope you will decide to stay. I am always an e-mail away.<BR/><BR/>Love and Blessings,<BR/>MariMari Hallhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01071559913310330700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7009311.post-15977142019077185872008-09-28T14:37:00.000-05:002008-09-28T14:37:00.000-05:00Hi Marie<BR/><BR/>I have been a quiet - but appreciative - retreat member for many years. And the retreats in August 2008 and December 2007 ... well, I took part. And was looking forward to the December 2008 one, too. The retreat forms a small oasis in an otherwise stressful, commercialised time. So sad you won't be doing one this year. But thank you for the effort you have put in all these years. I have looked forward to the solstice retreats ... this will be the end of an era for me.Fionahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16332636671985564749noreply@blogger.com
