Sufi Meditation Retreat – March 5, 6, and 7 are coming up sooner than you would believe. Please get your registrations in sooner rather than later as I need to give Sunrise Ranch LOTS of money up front… Registration info can be found here: http://trigoddess.org/sufiretreatflyer.pdf

To RSVP for ritual (blue moon or Imbolc), for detailed, though personally slanted, reviews on “café con leche,” for exclusive photographs of Matara’s Yule tree cranes, to share a new chant you learned while visiting the tip of Italy’s toe, or to sign up for a ride on Mary Poppin’s magical umbrella, I would be ever so pleased if you would call or e-mail me: (970)227-5275 or rain@trigoddess.org.
And as we drift into 2010, please remember to wear your seatbelt, look both ways before crossing, brush and floss, sit up straight, wash behind your ears, tie your laces, dot your eyes (or is that cross your eyes?), cross your teas (or is that sip your teas?), and always have more fun than safety! Donuts for breakfast are A-Okay, ice cream for dinner is just fine, but Cheetos are toxic. Stay away from beverages that glow in the dark!
Love and many heartfelt blessings for a delicious 2010!
Sára

Print it out, Fill it in, Pop it in the mailbox! I’m so looking forward to another weekend of prayer with you!

To RSVP for rituals, for directions, more information, or just because you want to make sure there’s a live person over here and not some smart-ass computer generating strange inter-faith tumble-jumble e-mails… feel free to call or e-mail (970)227-5275 or rain@trigoddess.org. And hey, if you have a hard time with the holidays, have some wassail, egg-nog or spiced rum. Isn’t it grand that so many holiday traditions include drinking heavily! Coincidence? I think not.
Blessings of light that peeks through the darkness!

Sweetie Darlings,

For a daily dose of Hazrat Inayat Khan, subscribe to the Bowl of Saki: http://wahiduddin.net/saki. To amplify your hippy status, try apple juice in your granola instead of milk; tasty, healthy and great for illiciting snears from family members. Please don’t give children celery or carrot sticks for Halloween. They hate that. When will Whole Foods be coming out with a “healthy” version of Snickers?
High Fructose Corn Syrup Blessings to every single one of you!
Sára

Darling Circlers,

You know, there are ultra-violet light treatment boxes you can have if you are able to convince your psychiatrist that you suffer seasonal depression due to the fading light. Most Pagans don’t qualify, but sleeping under a grow light just might be an interesting experience… or not.
Happy Autumnal Blessings!!

Friday, September 4th to Sunday, September 6th – follow this link to view the flyer and/or register: http://trigoddess.org/sufiretreatflyer.pdf

See! I told you it was a lot! I need a nap. I recommend hammocks for afternoon snooze time. I also recommend making silly faces at children; driving, walking, skipping or riding bikes directly through puddles of all sizes; smoothies for breakfast (better than coke, but beware the raspberry seeds that get stuck in your teeth), sunscreen on the tips of your ears (opposite the lobe), RSVP-ing for ritual and contacting me for more information about anything on this HUGE list of events.
Until we meet again,
Sára

Dear Ones,
We have so very much in common! For example, we were all sired by human fathers and born to human mothers, we all have hearts that continue to pulse (approximately 60 to 100 beats per minute) through every moment we’re alive, we all have facial hair (though some more visible than others), and we all breathe exactly the same composition of 21% oxygen-content air on a normal breath-to-breath basis.
Let’s celebrate!

And, my darlings, please remember to light the bottle rockets pointing AWAY from your face, and at least 500 yards from the nearest propane filling station. And, I’m sorry I have to say this, but potato chips being the number one fourth of July food, I feel it is my duty to warn you, that if you don’t chew thoroughly, you run a serious risk of internal injury and bleeding, which is no way to celebrate the birth of our peaceful nation. Beware the chips!

Hail Caesar!

To Recreationally Slice Virtual Pickles, for more information about any of the aforementioned circles, or if you are a fan of old school musicals including Brigadoon, My Fair Lady, and/or Fiddler on the Roof, please contact me so I won’t feel so all alone in the world. My number is (970)227-5275 or e-mail rain@trigoddess.org.
Also, I just need to know, if I have a dream about getting an adorable little kitten does that mean God wants me to get a kitten and it’s therefore sinful to disobey? Please e-mail me your responses so I can forward the affirmative ones to my husband. If you have responses in Cat language that would be great too, so I can explain the will of God to my two current feline companions.

Fuzzy Spring Blessings to Every Blessed One of You!
