BELIEVE IN MIRACLES

In 2000 when I was going through the journey of healing from breast cancer, my friend Patti gave me a small pillow with the words "Believe in Miracles" embroidered on it. Ever since, I have kept this pillow on my bed so that I can be reminded of the message every day.

I know for a fact that I have experienced miracles in my life. Among them are the wonderful friends who are part of my life - friends who are both a blessing and inspiration for me. And, if I pay attention, little miracles seem to happen almost everyday.

I also know that there are probably many would-be miracles that I was too busy to recognize and be grateful for.

During this holiday season, let's all take some time to reflect on all the good in our lives and to accept the challenges. Let's offer our gratitude to our spiritual source and allow Joy to fill our hearts and our Light to shine on those around us.

Say after me, "I BELIEVE IN MIRACLES!"

RAVENCHASE

If you read the FACES & PLACES section this month, you read about Ravenchase Adventures. Ravenchase came to New Hope last weekend and I participated in the "chase." It involves solving ciphers and puzzles to get to a final destination - racing against teams to see who can come in first. (Like Amazing Race meets the Da Vinci code) Since I went to the chase by myself, I was paired up with Geoffrey Wyncoop, a long time Ravenchase fan and very knowledgeable of the ciphers necessary to solve many of the clues.

I must say I had a great time. It was VERY cold that day but solving the puzzles was challenging and fun. We didn't come in first but we weren't last either. I will definitely try this again and hope to see some of YOU next time around.

Thank you Ravenchase (and Geoffrey)!

SLEEP UP-DATE

I forgot to say something about the newsletter in which I announced that I was having problems sleeping. (That particular newsletter was written in the wee hours of the AM!)

Well, there sure are a lot of compassionate people out there! I received about half a dozen email responses from concerned readers who offered their own sleep remedies. Thank you folks! I appreciate your concern and feedback.

Lately, I don't have many sleepless nights unless I choose to stay up to get some work done. I have noticed thought that less stress seems to equate to better sleep!
