Where ever you are on the planet today, I ask that you be aware of the domestic violence epidemic. And, I pray that you take steps in whatever way you can to help heal the survivors and eradicate domestic violence from your communities. In prior years I was very active in the One Billion Rising Events. Coordinating several with the amazing C. C. King . The links below take you to a glimpse of two of our prior gatherings. And, the video reminds us that music and dance are beneficial to be present in all we do, especially when we are taking a stand for justice and love.

COMING DECEMBER 15TH! WOMEN OF SPIRIT REFLECTION BOOK!!

http://matrikapress.com/women-of-spirit-reflection-book/
The Women of Spirit Reflection Book is part of the Matrika Press Reflection & Blessing Book series and the Women of Spirit series. It is designed to be used as a self-led retreat that you guide yourself on. It can be used to mark a milestone such as a significant birthday or important season of your life. It can help you process a loss or transition. It can be the place you affirm what is next for you as you cross a threshold and visualize your greatest intention for your life.
Reflection & Blessing Books are created by “Twinkle” Marie Porter-Manning and are a source of intentional inspiration to be used to record personal messages to the owner of the Blessing Book. These mementos and keepsakes can be used in rituals, celebrations and communions as well as for self-reflection and documentation of one’s innermost thoughts, feelings and beliefs. At the heart of Reflection & Blessing Books is the desire to share sentiments, messages and stories that we can draw upon as sources of comfort and a reminder that we are loved. This Reflection Book was created for self-exploration and contemplation.
