I was feeling lonely, missing my best girlfriend.   

When she became involved with a new man, she all but disappeared.  His energy absorbed hers into his life, leaving little room for anyone else.  

Then…. something nice happened. 

I received a lovely invitation to attend a new moon celebration from a friend I had not seen in awhile.  I graciously accepted. Not knowing what to expect, I knew it would be fun and something different.  Something my soul needed right now.

 

I had the pleasure of meeting some lovely women this evening, sitting together sipping wine, just relaxing.  The walls were filled with sconces and tea light candles.  The light dancing off the walls was enchanting.  I can still smell the incense on my clothes which gives an everlasting feeling of the peace, and comfort I felt.  I came home tonight inspired. 

 

 When one door closes another opens. 

 

We all wrote our hopes for the coming month on red crepe paper and folded them into flowers.  We tied them with ribbon to a fig tree that our hostess had purchased to plant in her back yard. 

 

 There were drums.  Yes, drumming.  If you’ve never experienced the vibration, the energy of the drum…ah you don’t know what you are missing.  Such an experience.  A cleansing of spirit. 

 

The new moon, a renewal of the heart.  Refreshed. 

A circle of women.   Support, friendship, fun, sharing common interests.
