September

Wow - has been a while since I have posted.  Went to a wonderful conference in Palm Springs, CA last month.  It was sponsored by IONS - Institute of Noetic Sciences. The name of the conference was Consciousness in Action - the Science and Practice of Transformation.  www.noetic.org

There were about 1000 people attending. The first day one of the vendors came up to me and called me by name.  I had taught her at Sacred Heart Academy, Salem, OR in the 70's.  We had some good memories of my coaching her basketball, etc.

I was inspired by all the work of transformation happening all over our globe. Clearly people are using science and consciousness to heal our planet.  You can check out the website to be a part of ongoing experiments of Intention and other interesting topics.

I had genetic testing done to determine if I carry the Breast Cancer genes.  I came up negative and this was a relief for my sisters and neice.  I then read a fascinating book called Biology of Belief which is written by a Bruce Lipton, a cell biologist.  We are not just the products of our genes.  Our spirituality and beliefs are big contributors to our health and well being.  I recommend this book.

Just finished building a fabulous fence in our convent backyard.  We needed a contemplative space while sharing our backyard with the school children.  Posting a picture of us proud builders - Myself, Sr. Crystal, and Wendy.

We began to enjoy it right away - had some friends and family over on Labor Day.

What a gift to read your post tonight, Cathy! The fence looks wonderful and I love seeing Crystal and Wendy too. Thinking of you and sending love to everyone at the convent (Joey too!).
