Hi Carol,
Sending you love and blessings from the crystal palace in High Springs where I am with Sharron.....high priestess of all things mineral. We love you and wish you healing and light. We will be out under the silvery Aries full moon tonight sending you strength for the changes you want to make. Let us know what we can do. With you in Spirit always, Fran and Sharron

Hi Carol,
Sharron informed me of your challenges. I am so sorry you are dealing with this but there is always hope. I just took a walk in the full moonlight asking for abundant blessings to rain down upon you.

Even metastasized cancer has been eliminated using various modalities so I am hopeful you will be with us for a long time. It cannot thrive in an alkaline environment so you may want to consider dietary change to all alkaline. You may also want to consider Golden Healing Oil; https://www.facebook.com/pages/GOHO/110396725768376

or Ric Simpson's oil. In your state these items are more accessible than for instance, in Florida.

Be well dear Sister and know that you are loved by many.

Dear Carol, I didn't know until just now that you have been dealing with cancer. I am so deeply sorry. I love you, and will transfigure on your behalf daily. I wish you ease, grace, and anything else you need. Know that you are loved here and where ever you are. I am glad to be connected to you. If there is anything else I can do for you.. let me know.

Dear Carol,

Deb Klein has made me aware of this website which I appreciate.

I will connect with Bast tomorrow and relay her thoughts to you here (as it appears doing so via private email is not available at this time). I will also fill her in on anything she may not know that I have an awareness around based on the communications on this site.

I will also be running energy tomorrow specifically for you and Bast to utilize as you both choose to.

Do know that I am sending you warmth, love and gratitude for who you be, Carol. You are a splendid person and are a light in my world.

With love to you and a big hug,
Danielle

Dear Carol,
Oh dear!
I see that this site has the West Cork coast as seen from Dzogchen Beara where we shared love and smiles and were bathed in the loving Soul of nature from the sea all around, and cleansed by the Spirit of nature with his winds and clouds and rain and occasional sun. May the loving energy from that place that I feel when I gaze at it wrap you in warmth and courage in these difficult times, and from Sweden I add my love and thanks for your being. Michael x

my English language is not good enough to tell you my feelings for you. I will drum and sing for you and candles will give light over the atlantic to you. Good to read, that you are with people they love you too. I remember our evening bath in the yakuzzi and our speaking the half night about god and the world and the life. Blessings and Love Lilo

Dearest Carol,
I feel sadness and gratitude and love, and also wistful... this life is so short and so beautifully challenging and mysterious. I am so grateful I got to share some of it with you.
You have been a tremendous blessing to the planet and to me personally, in so many ways, said and unsaid. I learned so much from you. I am humbled by your life's journey, and now your journey on, beyond here.
I continue to hold you in my heart, always remembering your brave joy, courageous laughter, so so generous heart, and trembling tears. May the profundity of your love and all the love that surrounds you bolster you at this time.
We'll be in touch, in whatever dimension(s).
Big, big hug forever,
Lenore

I am not sure if you realized but I have relocated to Ottawa. I have been thinking of you tons lately and wanting to reach out to tell you how well the transformation of my spiritual path is manifesting and how greatful I am for you to have helped me with that. Nancy burns just sent this info today when I just learned of your start to transition to the next realm of being. I am deeply saddened to realize that I will no longer be able to see or feel your physical presence. I am at peace knowing that your work has only just begun and you will be so happy and free once through this transition. I have so much appreciation and love for you. May you feel that warmth as you need it. I will miss you my dear friend. Pacis erit vobiscum- may peace be with you-

Dear Carol,

As you are preparing to cross over and as you remember those events in your live that you find beautiful and peaceful, I wanted to share one with you that touched me greatly.

At Bishops Lodge, we were on a break and encouraged to go out and appreciate the sunny and warm day we had been blessed with. I started walking over to the horse corral, and stopped before I got there.

You were standing at the fence engaged in a private ceremony of greeting and acknowledging one of the horses there. I just stood quietly and watched you interact with that creature, and the energy the two of you shared with one another was magical.

I had the feeling I was privy to a very unique moment that had never occurred before, nor would it ever again. It was beautiful, inspiring and grace-filled.

Carol, that is the image of you that I will continue to carry in my heart as you greet your new life. I will always remember your gift of presence in the world, and feel gratitude that our paths joined for a brief moment in time.

You are moving into a time of wonder, of completion, and of great awakening. I honor you in this life, and I believe what awaits you is pure joy and beauty.

Blessings, dear heart, and may that peace and joy that is beyond all understanding take residence in your Heart.

I love you,
Karen

Dear Carol,
Just yesterday I heard from Sharron and Barb concerning your current "project". I have always felt a strong connection to you through the crystals. Last night Barb and I made a grid and radiated to you via the Veiled Isis Lemurian sister crystals that the 3 of us share in common, thanks to Sharron's grace filled presence in our lives. I visualized a magnificent cascade of light journeying from the treasure that I held in my hand, to you with your crystal in hand. A shower of shimmering sparkling crystalline light fell all about and through you. I will continue with that visualization as you journey with your light body. May all be luminous, peace filled, beauteous, and serene. You shall be held in light and love as you follow the compass in your heart of hearts with an expanded awareness of the infinity and oneness that we are, that you be....Goddess Speed Lady.....Go in the Light.
With love,
Laurie

Dearest Carol,

I just heard of your situation and I am so deeply saddened that your cancer seems to have taken such an aggressive hold of you. I will always be forever grateful for your help and guidance these past six years. I wish I had the ability to give you the same healing you have given me. I will hold you in my heart and wish you a smooth as possible transition without pain. Please know that I love you and I will forever hold you in my heart. Safe travels my friend... <3

Dearest Carol, My love to you,with gratitude, and knowledge that you are the most powerful shaman I have ever encountered, and a wonderful teacher, and, especially, super friend. I am VERY disappointed and saddened that things have taken this turn, yet know you are an eternal being of divine light who may be being groomed for more important work at this time. My thoughts are always with you, and prayers. If there is anything I, or we, can do for you in person or otherwwise, all you have to do is ask or have someone else, (Sue?), let either Matthew or myself know. Pat Caffrey also sends her love. My love and prayers are with you, always, my dear friend, healer, and teacher. Love, Nancy

Carol,
Energy work was sent your way this morning to use as youd desire. Bast declined the energy saying she could take care of herself (she works with energy as you know too.) :)

Deb will ensure you see Bast's message to you tomorrow vs. my posting it here (thanks for the offer, Deb).

You are in my thoughts and I am seeing you vibrant and joyful with that amazing smile you have, Carol.

Sending you warmth and love in every moment.

With a hug,

Dearest friend - I so wish that you were not going to leave all the people who love you so soon, and under such circumstances. Since I have recently seen my beloved Jim 'off' to the other world, I know that life is truly eternal and that you will be greeted joyously by a crowd of welcoming spirits. And you will never leave us except in body, for your spirit can still go where it wishes and visit on this side of the veil.

I love you to pieces, and anything that I can do to help you, I will. I hope that you will be able to be back nearer to all your friends so that we can be with you, and my gratitude goes out to your sisters for their love, care and fortitude.

Your struggles here will end, and you will reap the rewards of a life given to help others and to spread love in the world. What went around, is coming back to you. Love always, and I hope to speak to you again - Karen

I am saddened to hear of the intensity of your suffering. You have given hope, strength and joy to so many, myself included. May we all lift you up and cradle you in our loving hearts and may your pain be swiftly alleviated and transmuted. The Universe must need you more in another dimension. Thank you for passing through my life and imparting wisdom along the way. You really did have a significant impact. Blessed be eternally. I hope to encounter your presence in another cycle. Be in peace, Genie

Dear Carol,

The news of your preparing for transitioning has me filled with love for you sweet memories of our journeys together. I want to remind you of how we met and how that relates to where you are going now!

You remember, I'm sure, that I spotted you in the airport terminal on the way to Albuquerque for the Two Week Intensive many years ago.. Who would be sitting in a terminal area with a drum on their lap, but someone whose destination was the same as mine??? Shaman Woman!!!

We chatted for a bit and when we arrived in Albuquerque I was shocked to hear that you did not have a hotel room prearranged...that, after all, was so contrary to anything the organized Capricorn in me would ever do. We shared a cab and you got a room at the motel where I had carefully made a reservation. However, YOU, got a better room for a better price! So much for planning!!!!

So, I tell you now, sweet woman...there will be a beautiful room waiting for you and you don't need a reservation...it will be ready when you arrive, ...mint on the pillow, turn down service, king sized bed, ...Jack & Jill resting and waiting for you...surrounded by love, light and joy!!!

I will miss you on this Earth, Carol, even though we did not connect often...you have always been in my heart....no one could make me laugh harder, longer and with more depth than you....you leave that here for us who will carry on your healing work.

Your name will be on the altar all weekend as I teach an Advanced Initiations Program with Barbara Bloecher in Kentucky. We were with you as we took our first steps on this path and we will walk with you to the end.

May you be surrounded by the angels of love and held gently as you ease your way into the next reality.

With love and admiration, Dory

May you be basked in the glory of the Divine Mother. Forever Young my dearest one. Your beauty shines through and we will meet again in the other worlds.

I celebrate you and all you have taught to so many.

Much love and blessings of joy go with you on this journey.

Also, Matthew and I could come up and do energy work with you Sunday at home or in Dartmouth if you are still there if that would be useful. No response means no, so please only respond if this feels right to you. Matthew says he can come up for BRIEF healing sessions ANY time to Bennington or further north.
Of course, you are lovingly in our thoughts and prayers always, as usual. Love, Nancy and Matthew

Starr Potts

10/22/2013 05:17:35 am

Dearest Carol,
I have held you in my prayers since I first heard of your journey with this illness, and now, I at last can tell you via this blessed blog how loved you are in me.

From the moment 12 years ago in our intensive when you did that journey on my behalf and were so sensitive about frightening me with what was ultimately a brilliant, completely spot on revelation, I admired your honesty, sensitivity and courage. That presence I've felt blessed to experience the ripples of over all the intervening years, to hear of the stories of the myriad ways you've impacted people's lives, your laughter, your willingness to work outside the box, and I feel personally honored in supporting you as a friend as you've traversed considerable challenges with amazing grace.

Whatever this time brings for you, I know that your shining spirit is glowing beneath and through all the fears, the pain, the hopes, the goodbyes, and the hellos to whatever is birthed next. I will continue to see that precious light that you are shining in a divinely whole way as your presence expands in this dimension, or shifts gently, sweetly into the infinite dimension of spirit.

Sending you continuing prayers of peace and healing hugs, and deep deep gratitude for all the ways you've touched me and so many that truly matter.

With much love, Starr

Dear one,

I wanted you to know that I see your vibrant face every time I step into my college office. I pass the photo taken of you, Elaine and Lara in your Transfigured States of Divine Grace during the Alternative Health Fair at which you were the fabulous keynote speaker. The framed photo sits on top of my bookcase's altar. You all were being of service for my mom who the day before was inflicted with a deep vein thrombosis in her leg. You may recall I visited her in the hospital, the nurses allowed me to do so long after visiting hours were over, that night and I sat with her in deep joy and prayer; and the next day she rallied and was soon discharged to everyone's amazement.

That is one of the many ways - there are many others with a hefty number of them less critical and serious - that I think of you and hold you so dearly in my heart. And so at this time in our lives, it is I who am of service to you, envisioning you shrouded in Creator's grace, whole, and filled with love and gratitude.

Know that my prayers for you come in many forms and all of them are held with my love and deep affection for how our lives have touched each other and created wonders.

Wishing you deep peace and sending a bounty of love and a delicious Big Apple hug to you,

Tony

Your larger than life personality follows me in all my spiritual endeavours. I listen for your drum and the cadence of your voice still, as I attempt the journeying that you introduced me to. Your teachings continue through your students, even if you never officially took us on as your apprentices. With your permission I would like to use the gifts you've awakened in me to send you healing light, uplifting energy, and pink love from the Earth's center.
Your illness is gathering a great many powerful and knowlegeable healers with one intent ~ to lift you up. What amazing things you accomplish!
I pray for calm waters to carry you through. May the Earth Mother carry you to safety. I pray blessings to surround you for your highest good, and that all the good intentions flowing your way are exactly what you need. May we meet again in our journeys.
Love, Light and Blessings to you.
Stacy

Dear Carol

I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to meet you and to have a couple shamanic conversations with you. Your sincerity, integrity, and commitment inspired me and I also enjoyed your company tremendously. I just wanted to thank you and tell you that I am holding you in my thoughts in love and light.

Dearest Carol,

The list continues to grow on how many lives you have touched including mine. With all the love and healing work being sent your way, I can't help but hope that something may click within and your tumors will begin to shrink and go away. Of course, I know this will only happen if it's meant to be. Whatever the outcome, I am also holding you in light and love. Blessings to you always... xoxo

Dearest Carol,
My heart is breaking. I always thought we would be able to be in friendship together again, and now I see there won't be time in this life.

I am sorry. I am sorry that I couldn't articulate appropriate boundaries for myself. I am sorry that my time constraints and personal limitations ruined our friendship. I am extremely sorry that I failed you as a friend. Our friendship was very precious to me, and it hurt me to lose touch with you.

I consider you one of the most gifted of Sandy's shamanic healers. I give thanks for the many healings you performed for me, all of which benefited me.

I also give thanks for meeting Jack and Jill, noble beasts that they were. I loved them. I feel sure their scratch marks are still on the screen door in Canaan, heh.

Carol, I love you very much. I hope to be with you once again in the shamanic realms, and work next to you in the Halls of the Ancestors when I pass.

Safe journeys, dear Carol.
with love always, from Caroline

Beautiful Carol,
I was thinking about the times we have shared at reunions and here in Colorado. I laugh remembering your stories of life experiences you shared, as a spirit always living life to the fullest and taking on experiences that most would run from. What beautiful courage you have used to live this life, with a sense of humor and respect for what we as humans go through.
I honor you and I wish you well in this continuing evolution of life. You have touched the lives of many individuals which is more than what most of us could hope for.
I send you love, peace and the softest of breezes to carry you to all places yet to visit - surrounding you in blessed comfort - Sylvia

Dearest Carol Marie,

Wow. Wow.

You are my star*sister and best friend. I adore and love you. I know you know that. I say good bye with love. It has been a gift and blessing knowing you, especially walking with you these last four months.

I feel sad. My tears come and go like the tides.

I'm going to miss you. Just miss you. Miss our deep conversations… just hearing your voice and laughter made my day. I remember sitting at dinner at Omega and knowing I wanted to be your friend. At Ghost Ranch with Caroline. Driving around Florida with Mushroom. Teaching Medicine for the Earth. Shell mound. Crystals. The beach. The sharing. The caring. The love. The witnessing. The holding space. So many good memories, they will keep me. I celebrate you…and your life.

Go in peace. Go in love. Go gently as Spirit sings you Home.

With love,
Michele Grace

Carol, a line of "telephone" just ended in Mark K. telling Catherine, Stef and me about what's happening. I passed it on to Greg as well. Please know that all of us here at SVC are thinking of you.

Personally, I send peaceful thoughts (and I'm sure Scott does as well). I'll think of you every time I see my pendulum, and when I pass your old house in Pownal. (I think that car is still tooling around somewhere in North Adams... )

We will miss your presence in this world, but are hopeful for a peaceful transition to your next journey.

Love Sarah, Scott, Lucky the dog, and Jake the cat.

I am so sorry to hear you are back in the hospital. Jeff and I were planning on seeing you this weekend and will still come to you if that is what you want. I want to thank you for all you have done for both of us and to let you know what a wonderful teacher and friend you have been. I truly believe that without the "tough love" you showed Jeff early on, he would not be here today. Through your guidance and teaching, he has begun his journey to becoming a Shaman. You never flinched away from a tough adversary and you always supported the spirit in your clients and friends with all your soul and strength.

You were the first person to recognize my "special gift" and I know you will be pleased to know that I am doing a class with John Holland and have signed up for an intensive practice session next weekend. Thank you for lighting this fire in me.

I wish I could be with you to give you a hug and hold your hand for awhile. Again, we will come if you are up to it and want that. Please know that both of us are sending great love and light your way and believing for you. I will be waiting for a visit from you from whichever side you are on.

All Our Love,
Jeff and Sally

Hi Carol,
I have learned that you are very special and I send you my best healing energies. I don't really know how to do this,as I'm a pretty traditional doc but I think that my energies will help you in some small way. If you need anything from your "clinic", we will be there for you. Do you have someone who will do house calls and help manage your meds?

Jeff Dodge

10/23/2013 11:21:55 am

You are comforted knowing that the white light is shining brightly from around you. Your spirit is full of help and companionship. As you move forward on your path all strength, mercy love and power are with you in mind body and spirit. You have taught me much in this life; I am welcoming the lessons yet to be discovered. I ask you remain open to the possibility that your greatest lessons are being learned now as you transition to your full shaman responsibilities. I look forward to hearing from you in many ways as my teacher, friend and fellow light worker. Peacefulness shall accompany you on this beautifully, wondrous journey.

My blessings are for you and your loved ones always.

Hey Sweetie,
Surfing through Facebook just now I saw your smiling face and thought "It's been away since I ran into Carol." I am sorry that you are not well.
I can't help thinking how blessed I am to have had you in my life. It has been an honor and pleasure to share our lives when we did. To see you walk a path that brought you heartfelt joy, deep long lasting personnel healing and a community of friends and family to be by your side.
May the love you feel be the blanket that holds you. May the light you see be filled with those you have know for your lifetime.

Dear Carol, I am so sorry to hear that you have suffered such a setback. I really enjoyed being with you for solstice and for one of your shamanic healing classes. Have also missed seeing you at Sue's drumming circles. Please have your team call me if you think I can assist you in any way. I am right here in Bennington. 802-681-6830. Sending love, light and prayers your way.

10/23/2013 03:18:46 pm

Dear Carol,
What keeps running through my mind as I read all these entries from all who hold you as a Beloved, is the concept in the Tibetan Bon/Buddhist traditions where great teachers teach/demonstrate for their students how to transition. I have learned so much from you in these past few days. Sharron had urged me to spend New Year's Eve with you doing ceremony to usher in 2014. I just remembered that this morning (1 a.m.). So please know that I will be holding you in my heart as I do ceremony this New Year's Eve and certainly invite you to the festivities, with garments of Light being the most perfect attire, if you should choose to attend. I'm leaving for a retreat within a few hours and will not be following the blog as closely. Thank you for everything that you have brought to my Life.
Wishing you Peace, a sweet surrender, a sublime journey, eternal Love....
Blessed Be Lady Master Carol,
Laurie

Just got news of your health. Please know how much I have cherished our friendship over the years. You are a beautiful person and always been an inspiration for me. I admire your life-long commitment to helping to heal the world and I have no doubt that your legacy of compassion and healing will be beneficial to others in ways that we can only imagine. You are in my prayers and thoughts.

Our desire to see you Sunday and offer in person energy work is strong, yet I/we are sadly OK if this is not the best path for you. I/we love you dearly and wish you peace, ease, joy, and some laughs yet. Love, Nancy

Dear Carol,

One of my fondest memories of you is the summer day in 2009 when you came to our home and my fluffy white Akita puppy, Koori, showered you with love while you were wearing a completely black outfit – there wasn’t a lint roller big enough to undo that damage…..

Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers. We send you love and our deepest gratitude for your selfless giving…and now we in turn give to you. Thank you for your wisdom, love and kindness. It has been a blessing and honor to be in your life.

Blessings,

Dearest Carol,
My thoughts, prayers, energy and love with hugs coming your way. Was just thinking about you-I've been reading the book you dropped here at the studio for me to read! You wrote, "Shamanic healing is a community event, precisely because of the power that can be generatged and accessed fo the healing when people gather in groups with open hearts and focused intention". I firmly believe in this statement and for you my friend, we are all gathered. A group just came in to CAT-TV to film a show - "The Serenity Singers" from VNA and Hospice, here Bennington. Their warmth, energy and strength here in my office before going to the studio for their show was amazing, and my friend, have channeled to you.

Exquisite Carol,

I am imagining you inside the notes of a 'return beat', as you travel from Dartmouth to your Bennington home.

I am imagining you absorbing the love and appreciation, that I feel and that so many feel for you.

I am imagining you feeling complete and radiant.

I am imagining you once again traveling inside the return beat, this time from Bennington to your home beyond Bennington.

And I am imagining you being and feeling Welcomed.

Thank you for being here, being you, being.

Love to you in all your forms and essence,

My dearest cousin Carol

How deeply sadden to hear about you and your passage, I'm feeling so very sad. All I keep thinking about is our childhood memories and how fond I am of them. All the years, I spent up at the lake with you and your sisters. aka The Tunney Girls. How much fun we would have water skiing, swimming across the lake, sleeping on the beach, imagine walking on the rock now, not I, I hardly make it up a flight of stairs. The fun we had downhill skiing ( the blizzard) the time we were snowed in and we walked to the store (the survivor team). As we have grown older our times were fewer and fewer but there were some. The years I spent as a sales rep and I come over to (where ever it was) We would hook up and have dinners I so enjoyed those years too. Many fun and very funny times. And now we spend little to no time with one another and I am very sorry for that.

I have read so many wonderful things from so many of your dear friend on how inspiring, loving and caring you are to so many people. That is the way you have always been, I will alway remember.

I love you

Your cousin Annie

P.S. spoke to my son (Dan) yesterday and he said to me is Carol the one who mooned me with the flowered undies at Aunt Kathy's. Oh yah thats the one always have fun with all.

Love to all

Dear Sweet Carol and Family,

Many many thanks to all of your for your generosity in allowing Deb, Titus and me to visit with Carol this morning. Our group of college friends which also includes Kathy and Susie who were with us today in spirit, have stuck together through thick and thin since we met 38 years ago (yikes!). To have even a short time to share some laughs, stories and cry together during this precious time for your family was an incredible gift. Last night Carol reminded me of something I said to her after I lost my father, that when someone close to you passes, they give you the gift of their strength. Carol, you have been giving the gift of your strength to all of us for so long through your example, through your love, and through your courage. You are an amazing teacher, a generous friend, and a true warrior of the truth and of the heart. Thank you, Carol for sharing your incredible journey with all of us. And the journey continues....
Sleep well tonight in your own home. I will sleep better knowing you are there.
Love you always,
Sara

Your drum beats with the heart of Mother Earth and with the heart of all that your light has touched. I am so glad that you have returned to the sanctuary of your own home and are surrounded by those that you love and that love you...including Bast. Sending you love, light and endless blessings, Fran

Blessings of love and light, swirled with the gleeful laughter you share so easily with others. As a doctor, healer, goddess, shaman, teacher and friend, you have always given so many so much. It is my prayer, Carol, that all that you have so generously shared will surround you now and guide you to peace. With all love and the brightest of light, Cheryl

Aniko

10/25/2013 11:53:46 am

Dearest Carol,

I am so saddened to hear about your setback! It's been only a couple weeks since we last spoke and you sounded so upbeat and energetic that when I read the blog news I just could not believe it. The past few days I have gone through an accelerated, "forced march" of the 5 steps of coping with death and loss and from the initial numbness and anger I am slowly reaching the point of acceptance, but only because I believe that you are being called away for an even more important mission than what you've been on in this most recent earthly existence.

As they say, we are not human beings having a spiritual experience, we are spiritual beings having a human experience. While I have only had a brief opportunity to "work" with you and was given only a small glimpse into the life of a beautiful and wise soul, from our brief encounter - but even more so from the many heartfelt farewells of all your friends - I believe you have had a wonderful human experience in this life. One thing is for sure - everyone who knows you loves and respects you, is a better person for having known you, and will sorely miss you.

I feel a little bit cheated by the universe: you and I had plans together, we were going to see each other again after you have recuperated from this devastating illness and I was so looking forward to continue to learn from you, in order to become a better person, to learn to heal myself, and to pass the wisdom on and help others heal. At the same time I feel lucky - and I am practicing gratitude, as you taught me - that I had the chance to have met you in this life. Thank you for the chat on the couch, the beautiful, powerful ceremony you performed for me, for the messages you delivered and for the opportunity to journey together with you. Allowing me to connect with one of your spirit guides and one of your most significant power animals in the same journey was an experience I will forever remember and a gift I will cherish! I just hope I can continue my "apprenticeship" with you beyond this physical world -- I will be looking for you, your guidance, your wisdom in my journeys and in my dreams.

I am still praying for a miraculous recovery but if it is indeed time for you to go back into the Light, I will be praying for a peaceful, gentle transition: you are surrounded by and being released with so much love, it should feel like a gentle walk on a path of rich, velvety smooth grass on a warm spring day... and as we slowly release your hand as you step through the veil there will be others reaching for your hand on the other side.

You are in my thoughts EVERY day and my love and prayers are with you. Blessed be, Aniko
PS. Tomorrow - Saturday, Oct. 26th - we'll be at Spirit Hollow with many graduates of the Seeing with the Heart program and among them some very powerful shamans and I will ask the group to honor you and to send you even more healing energy, comfort, and peace. If there's anything you need, whether it's running an errand, a warm meal, or someone to come over to ward off scary, gigantic spiders (I volunteer my hubby, Ed again for that latter one) please reach out any time.

"I think immortality is the passing of a soul through many lives or experiences, and such as are truly lived, used and learned, help on to the next, each growing richer, happier and higher, carrying with it only the real memories of what has gone before." Louisa May Alcott 1832 - 1888

Our wish for your next life: That you receive all the grace, strength, love, and guidance you gave all of us in this one. Remember the joy and shine on our immortal friend...

Hi Carol -
Sending you many prayers...and much love, light and sweetness.

Thinking back to the time you, Fran, and myself spent in Vermont - graciously inviting me to hang out with you guys before sending me on my way to the next phase of my journey with the plants. Thank you so much sharing dravite with me - every time I look at dravite I remember how you plunked those stones in my hands to help get my feet on the ground! Through you, through Fran, the black drum is in my care...its beat continues to resonate helping heal those around it...sending its beat to you across the ethers.

Many blessings,
Susie

Last night I brought 5 soul pieces for Carol to Rutland so shaman Siovhen Rattler could cross her over into the light. Carol's dear friend, Susan Church accompanied me and participated in the drumming. Carol gave us a message of love for everyone through Siovhen and also said that it is time to let her go. I was given a ritual of letting go, gratitude and memory to share with you. It will be held at 109 John St, Bennington, Vermont on Saturday, November 23 at 4pm. There will be drumming and fire outside to transmute objects and messages. Contributons of food and firewood are welcome. Love, light and peace, Annie 802-681-6830, [email protected]
