You have thousands of years of powerful ancestors within you, the love of the Divine Great One in you, supreme intellect and royalty in you.

					<description><![CDATA[The sacred art of scribing is a practice I’ve relied on since childhood. My journals throughout the years have become cherished vessels, containers to hold the stories of my life’s journey. Journaling becomes sacred through the journal-keeper’s commitment to her sacred practice as she contemplates, scribes and responds to whatever the day or the moment [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The sacred container of sisterhood holds a community in an atmosphere of safety where sisters (members) feel confident to share their stories, embrace silence, pray, create, celebrate beauty, and break bread. It could be said there is a sacrament within the spirit of sisterhood. The Way of Belle Coeur: A Woman’s Vade Mecum by Sibyl [&#8230;]]]></description>

Wintry local temperatures have run the gamut from last week’s cold rainy day registering a mere nine degrees to today’s spring-like and sunny, sixty-eight degree record breaker. God’s call for my life’s journey also seems to be ever changing.

I pick it up and feel connected with the realization that all of humankind is fastened to the earth, a whirling sphere suspended in the inky black universe. We are tethered to our world composed of forests and deserts, mountains and plains, water [&#8230;]]]></description>

Be love. Preach love. Celebrate love. Serve love as a Sacrament. Express love. Inspire love. Reveal love. Seek love. Serve love. Embrace love. Nurture love. Live [&#8230;]]]></description>

For one week my colleague and I and women pilgrims from the U.S. and Canada, were immersed in the sacred history, architecture, story, and beauty of the ancient earthly reliquary, the living shrine, dedicated to Notre-Dame de Chartres (Our Lady of Chartres).

It’s as if suddenly I am shaken to [&#8230;]]]></description>
