I am back from 10 days in the womb of Kauai....warm sun, lovely healing water, and surrounded by so many folks living aloha!  Right now HOPE is high in my heart, body and mind. 

Some years ago there was a rift in my immediate family...between my son, Kip  and daughter, Shannon-Anakha.  At the time it was especailly emotionally devasting for me as I took on the shame..I had done something wrong!..It continued to be hard for me.as there were no lovely shared holdiays together.

We have all been journeying into healing and have recently had a lovely meeting together of the 3 of us.   We all realized that the person that was responsible for actions that caused this rift, was not present and we all had been carrying "things' that were not ours to carry. Our time together was loving,. honest...challenging and respectful and compassionate.  Everyone was heard.  Afterwards I shared my deep gratitude with my adult children and thanked God and the Universe for this answer to prayer.   This meeting was called by my daughter as I had planned a family trip to kauai and the question was being begged...and we were all a bit nervous....We had Mother's day together last year and it went well and a few Christmases but 10 days in one house?  .  I had decided it was time to really trust in God's desire for our healing and trust that we were all adults and could be loving and respectful.  I had HOPE.  I had Faith that God had something in mind by putting this dream that I had carried since 2002 in place.  I decided to trust that...We all agreed to trust and have hope.

We had a wonderful time together with the three grandchildren and Kip's wife Anna.  We laughed and played and celebrated life TOGETHER!!

So the love was able to flow all because of the willingess to risk...and to trust....and to have HOPE.
