Happy Thanksgiving :)

Happy Thanksgiving/Day of Gratitude to everyone :)

I certainly feel there's a lot to be thankful for right now...we are recovering well from our car crash three days ago - fewer aches and pains each day, increasing integration of the experience...and yesterday Mr. M bought a lovely second hand green jeep, so now we have wheels again, to get back to California...our friends in PA, Jody and Joey Allen have been SO gracious and helpful the last few days to get us back on the road...I am enormously grateful too for all the amazing healing/loving vibes everyone has been sending our way the last few days - I truly feel this healing, uplifting energy and appreciate it so much - it is really helping to speed the recovery process, along with Juice Feasting, so sincere gratitude to you all for helping the healing process... :)
Sending you all major blissings for a day of gratitude and appreciation of the wonder of life...we truly are blessed to be here to play - brushing so close to the veil this week clearly reminded me of that and I trust you too will enjoy reflecting on the beauty of our opportunities here...there is so much to be grateful for... :)
