RED DOG

As many of you know, Red Dog has been a favourite part of the Women's Retreats held at Thirteen Moons Culinary Retreat in Ontario.

Beloved Red Dog passed over in January after quickly declining in health. He graced Thirteen moons for 10 years and 10 months. Red loved Louise, Steve and the property so much he never strayed. He is sadly missed and deeply appreciated for the love and devotion he brought to everyone who came into his sweet life.

No doubt Red will be watching us with pleasure as we continue to frolick and feel.

TOP FIVE REGRETS BEFORE DYING

From an article written by Bronnie Ware, The Huffington Post, January 21, 2012

"For many years I worked in palliative care. My patients were those who had gone home to die. Some incredibly special times were shared. I was with them for the last 3 to 12 weeks of their lives.

FULL CIRCLES

An astonishing and marvelous AHA moment happened last weekend.

This batik hanging was out in the AHA workshop studio. It was then that Laila discovered a photo on the wall that spoke of the mysterious manifestations that happen regardless of my awareness.

Laila spied an identical image on the wall, taken in Nepal, wearing her red knapsack while overlooking the Himalayan town of Namche Bazaar and the river valley below, from winter of 1991.
