A New Beginning!

Again, time has slipped by so quickly since my last post. Since April 22, I have packed up and moved from my office of the past 14 years at 370 Burnham Street. It was a lot of work physically, and a lot of work emotionally, to finally leave the beautiful office that I had the privilege to design, build and decorate to my own taste. So many beautiful, happy memories were made in that space, and I got to know so many people there. Penny, my nurse, was feeling emotional about leaving as well, so we decided we needed a closing ritual. Mel, our wonderful drumming facilitator and friend, came to facilitate a drumming circle for Penny and her 2 children and me. We read aloud the blessing that Rick Webster wrote and offered in December 2008 when we moved in, and then read a blessing of John O’Donohue’s for new beginnings. We shared many memories of our times together in the office, amid laughter and tears. It was a blessed and a healing time.

Penny is working in a different clinic in town now. And I am getting to have a new beginning in my ‘she-shed’, whose name is Safe Harbour. I was lucky enough to find a builder who could construct it for me last winter and then finish it this spring. I have been enjoying times of dancing and making art in Safe Harbour over the winter, and now I am going to be able to see coaching clients and offer Zoom based workshops in this space. I am excited! God has been good! I am taking some time to rest, reflect and rejuvenate in July and August, then looking forward to welcoming one and all to Safe Harbour in September, COVID permitting!

May you likewise be enjoying times of, rest and rejuvenation this summer! Have fun!
