feast of words, oh yes it happened!

It was here where we gathered

Feasting on words and a delicious meal

Hearts opened

Words spilled onto the page

Compassion

Love

Support

Hugs

Laughter

So much goodness

I am in shock that it happened

I am in awe for how open and caring everyone was

Together we bonded

Sharing our inner most thoughts

Letting our hand speak what our heart needed to say

The women who gathered were amazing!

Each one of them blew me away

I am so grateful for them

Head on

over here

 to see more words and images from the night.

Feast of Words

This past weekend I hosted my very first 

Feast of Words

Joy and gratitude are overflowing from my heart

I am blown away by the honest wholehearted writing and sharing that occurred in my home

We warmed up our writing muscles with some tasty appetizers

And quick fun prompts

Gently easing into the writers mind

We then gathered around the table, which was set with intention

and a special piece of art from dear friend

Kelly Barton

We shared stories, giggled, and savored a delicious meal prepared by our very special Chef

We found a comfortable place to write

Hands nervous, hearts unsure of what was to come

But together we took the leap

Words poured onto the page

Individuals who said they weren't writers wrote the most beautiful things

Hearts expanded and love swirled around

There was no judgment or criticism

Only a common understanding for each other

As ears openly listened and hands feverishly wrote

It was a night filled with compassion

Heartfelt writing

And a delicious Feast on Words

I am so grateful for each individual who took a chance on this night.  Arriving with an open mind and delving deep into writing.  I am also grateful for my chef, Alice who prepared the most delicious meal and helped the night run smoothly.

Together we laughed, cried, and feasted.  It was a night to remember.

I love the world wide web and the way it opens up opportunity for connection, the ability to interact with people all the way across the world, and the never ending journey it takes you on.  However I have been craving in person connection.

Sitting down across the table from someone

Looking into their eyes

Hearing the sound of their voice

Sharing with one another, together

So I have taken a very brave step and am hosting an in person gathering with my aunt;

Feast of Words

It will be an evening gathered around the table breaking bread, toasting with a glass of wine, and releasing our fears about writing.  We will leave those fears on the table after dinner and settle in to write.  I will be guiding the small group into how to begin writing your story.  Every one has a story to tell and we will begin writing ours that night.  You don't have to think you are a writer to be a part of this evening.  If you make a grocery list, write you name, or fill out a birthday card for a friend then you my dear can begin to write your story.

I am excited about this evening and can feel in my heart how heartwarming and tender it is going to be. I am looking forward to being in a room with individuals and sharing pieces of our heart.  It is going to be so good.

With any brave step we take though, moments of fear jump in.  I am nervous that no one will sign up.  But I am not going to let that stop me.  The night is planned and my aunt and I are ready to go.

If you are interested in joining please head on over
