Dear Suma, you are such a beautiful soul and I'm so grateful to have crossed paths with you here. I love your heart and am so pleased to have been able to publish your work.

Thank you so much for your kind words and wishes for me, and for my friend. I suppose I did have a choice about this, but once I knew of his situation I couldn't have lived with myself without offering to go and help him through this last part of his life. He is, indeed, a wonderful person and his wife was such an incredible lady - highly respected as a social worker, and as an instructor, a woman, a friend. She was a huge inspiration and gave so much of herself; I'm happy to give back in this small way.

I'm glad you loved my altar! The actual altar is a thick slice of a tree trunk. It's beautiful -and very heavy!! I've had it for nearly 30 years.

You haven't seen the last of Witchy, Enchantra and me - and you can always drop an email my way and I'll be happy to stay in touch.

Thank you so much for your lovely message, Suma. It meant the world to me.
