Dear Family & Friends,
I am excited to be writing to you on my new computer...a Pentium 4 with Windows XP....I'll spare you all the details!!! Most importantly I finally have a color printer and a CD burner...both essentials for my business. I am truly indebted to my brother-in-law, Dave Ternes (Crystal Marketing Group), for finding the deal of the century that made this purchase possible even on my limited income. Not only did he do all the research to find me just what I needed at the very best price, but he ordered it from Dell for me and even came over to install the additional memory and set up the hardware. Now that's full service! I was also extremely blessed to have my software installed and all my files transferred from the old computer to the new one by my friend Doug Stitt who came all the way from Cleveland to help me out. He even provided training on Windows XP, not to mention all the system maintenance functions I should have been doing all along but didn't even know about!

Another major accomplishment this month was getting my health insurance coverage set up. With my COBRA benefits completed at the end of this year I was very concerned at the prospect of researching and selecting my own policy. My fears were quickly calmed by Jim Daly, (MML Investors Services, Inc.) a friend and member of my church who immediately emailed me following my mention of health insurance needs in my last monthly update. How's that for an answer to prayers?! He patiently provided many quotes, explaining the pros and cons of each one and helped me reach the best decision for me right now. After looking at my income statement for the year and the costs that lie ahead I got pretty discouraged about my ability to make it financially. Yet it seemed God was calling me to continue to trust. In the midst of my despair I asked for yet another sign of God's faithfulness to me. Within hours I had a directee give me a gift which amounted to the first month's health insurance premium. Enough said!

I am happy to report that my website (Prayer-In-Motion.com) is now under construction by my dear friend Sherry Perkins (www.raindroptherapy.net). We had our initial design meeting last weekend and have lots of great ideas flowing. I have also begun dancing and meeting with Christian Dance Network, a wonderful group of women led by Joan O'Connell whose mission is to teach Christians to embrace dance in personal and corporate worship. It is truly an inspiring and nourishing time for me. Check out their website at www.christiandancenetwork.org.

I was blessed by an additional directee this month, bringing me to a total of 6 right now. My fellow spiritual directors at St. Francis and I conducted a workshop on spirituality in November which helped to spread the word on what spiritual direction is all about. I also conducted another introductory session on praying through movement at a women's retreat at Manresa. It was very well attended with powerful movement of the Spirit present and lots of interest expressed.

I continue to be blessed with such love and support from so many. Thank you! I wish all of you a truly blessed Christmas, filled with all of God's gifts, but most especially His love.

Let the Spirit move you!
