Ron and I had the pleasure of meeting with a lovely group of people last night. We had met a wonderful lady a few months ago and through a blossoming connection resulted in meeting at her home and spending a couple of hours in delightful interaction.
.
After she heard about my health issue with breast cancer a few months back she and prayer group offered to pray for me. I initially hadn't been diagnosed with breast cancer and so was somewhat hesitant to have people pray for someone who might not have an issue. Anyway I was very touched by their offer and, hey, if I was okay, what harm is done? Only an increase in love and connection!
.
Well, after all my travels and trials of this health journey and the continued prayers, love and support from her group I thought it would be great to meet everyone. And what a sweet connection it was!
.
Ron and I were very blessed to have a special "laying on of hands" and personal prayers and to be anointed with oil. A truly remarkable experience and very filled with love and grace. Thank you such lovely friends - you are a true heart connection.

It's so interesting when people of different faiths or religions, race, sex, backgrounds, "you name it different", that when you come together in a space of love, respect, openness and joy that all the barriers of "difference" completely dissolve and are replaced with such a state of connection and caring. This creates the sacred. We are all loved. We are all one.
.
It would be so good to carry on this continued sending out of love and connection, whether one has health stuff or not! No matter what you religious persuasion or non-religious persuasion what keeps this world sane and true is our love and compassion . The ability to empathize, to connect with other beings hearts, with there their "truths".
.
Our world is in such dire need of healing. Reaching out first, to yourself, and then to turn that attention to others. We all need it.
