My morning walk - spent time reflecting on this bench.

I love that this sign from a favorite trail I frequent uses the words "spiritual refreshment."

Last night I began my time in spiritual reflection and prayer. I took time to read the poem "Summons" on this website - a beautiful reminder of the great need for more feminine energy to heal our world.

I read some of the reflections here and felt gratitude for Peri, Michele and Liz whom I've had the pleasure to gather with and for Barbara Cecil whose book first led me to CIYO via the symbols work.

This morning I snuck off to this trail for an hour and was blessed with a sunny day and bathed in the quiet and simple beauty. I am getting ready to pass the mantle to the UK and I received it from France... I love knowing there are women all around the world joining together to reflect on things that matter.

Today was my 64th birthday and I purposely chose this date for "Well Keeping" so that I would be sure to find time for "spiritual refreshment."

Thank you to all involved in this beautiful endeavor - planners and participants.
