I must be blessed :)<BR/><BR/>Kiva- I love you green sister. <BR/><BR/>ALisa, I am just overwhelmed by your generous words and your gift - I will be writing to you, you bet!Anandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12082303853835512978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2308375110862977162.post-42238602111395720312008-07-07T15:27:00.000-07:002008-07-07T15:27:00.000-07:00Ananda, you are truly a beloved among us. I have f...Ananda, you are truly a beloved among us. I have felt your amazing love, energy, support, creativity, magic streaming out in all directions. Each day the Red Tent Temple Movement rises more and more as we hear from women in different states and countries and I count you as a solid root that has assisted this grassroots movement to grow. You have been a woman who has courageously said, "yes, oh yes, here I am with all my gifts, ready to be of service to the precious life we are all a part of." I feel you sister. I really do. <BR/>And I am AMAZED that I could find my way to your site today while it is your birthday because today I was thinking about you as I poured out some precious oils that you made for your first Red Tent Temple at my home. And DeAnna, whose video you wrote about emailed me yesterday causing me to ponder you again. <BR/><BR/>I am inspired and moved by you Ananda. And your blog today speaks about the womanplant that we are. I wanted nothing more than to grow into myself in my thirties and it had both its growing pains and leaps towards new vistas. I also felt in a hurry, much like a plant reaching in the summer towards the sun to become, to grow, to flower, to seed, in the season of life we are given. <BR/><BR/>Sometimes however we have no perspective on how far we have already come and who we have already been to so many who love us. <BR/><BR/>So here is to your 33 years. You are here with astonishing love for all to behold. Your drum will resound with the spirt that you are. And your path will be one of beauty with your children, your beloveds and your vision. <BR/><BR/>If you come to Priestess Path ever, I will rejoice. If you work with Kiva, (oh how I can feel her through her gentle and fierce writing where I met her spirit)how wonderful. If you find that you simply find your way from what is inscripted in your soul and you yourself become the teacher, it would not surprise me at all. <BR/><BR/>For now, I would like to invite you to Daughters of the Earth Gathering as a birthday present. Having you there would benefit us all. Write me and I will register you. Bless you dear one and thank you for being born.

Your feelings...Happy birthday! What a great post! Your feelings about winter are so interesting to me, as I feel the complete opposite. Winter, to me, is a very clean, pared-down, cozy, introspective, meditative time. Anything but desolate! I've actually come to long for winter in the middle of the bustle of spring and summer.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, have fun celebrating your birthday :)Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10250906711667708170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2308375110862977162.post-90053353754594934872008-07-07T11:05:00.000-07:002008-07-07T11:05:00.000-07:00happy birthday, dear one, you've been in my though...happy birthday, dear one, you've been in my thoughts all weekend during our shaman's path gathering. <BR/><BR/>may you always find a home inside yourself, and also hear your home in the land drumming you back to it, singing your name.<BR/><BR/>thanks for being born, you are a gift to us all :)<BR/><BR/>love,<BR/>KivaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2308375110862977162.post-90778100852638684652008-07-07T08:00:00.000-07:002008-07-07T08:00:00.000-07:00Thanks Yarrow!

What a love...HAPPY, HAPPY, BLESSED BIRTHDAY TO YOU! What a lovely, personal post. I am anxiously awaiting my fortieth, this month on the 23RD. I hope that I can be as clear in my reflections and looking ahead as you have been. I love the idea of your "tribe" of women friends coming by to teach you something. I hope you will be able to share how that works out.<BR/><BR/>I would love to hear more about the Red Tent Temple. How you got it started, what kind of time and energies it asks of you. I would love to start one in my community. Thanks.Yarrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05373552388465442107noreply@blogger.com
