our dear friend and wisdom sister, who passed earlier this year

still here in our hearts..

visiting Jenny’s Angel, in the Vale, most days

great gratitude for:
this precious human life, a wonderful wisdom teacher, the ability to see, open intelligence, curiosity, being able to move/walk/dance/sleep/see/hear/touch/taste/speak/think/dream/create/reflect/learn, the privelege of having more than enough, recognising the generosity and innate goodness of people….&….so much more….

thank you for visiting
we trust something piqued your interest
