Abby is content. She has had dinner and she has had a marrow bone (that she was allowed to eat IN THE HOUSE!!!) and she has had way too many treats. She has also learned to use to dog door very quickly and found an extremely willing playmate in Link.

I think that, in part at least, this has made up for a very long car ride.

Me? My eyes are burning but I think that’s all due to lack of sleep. It was a late night. It was also an amazing night. It was so beautiful to meet Kathleen and Matt after the course last night. So much love and emotion. It was a whole-hearted connection: spirit to spirit.

I felt utterly fulfilled.

And then there was that rather late dinner at my favourite Indian restaurant and I don’t think I got to sleep before midnight. And then up at 6 and off to Oregon.

I’m taking time with myself to settle in and be quiet and at peace.
