Dear Family and Friends,

I had the wonderful opportunity this month to present my program at St. Clare Episcopal Church in Ann Arbor. What an open, responsive group they were! My Episcopal connection then led me to attend a great workshop on simplifying our lives given by Sr. Jose Hobday, a Native American Franciscan. I am still assimilating her vast life-changing wisdom.

I am happy to report a real resurrection for me on Holy Saturday when my dear friend Sherry Perkins gave me a most precious gift of helping me set marketing goals as well as establish check points for me to report to her on my progress. Through her insistence and the prayers of many, I finally got “unstuck”. Since then I have been sending out letters to churches, schools and retreat centers and contacting them for follow up. For all of you who have sent me referrals along the way, I am now in the process of getting in touch with them. Thank you! I greatly appreciate all of your help. Thanks also to Pamela Roberts for sharing her very effective system for keeping track of prospects and scheduling follow ups.

Unfortunately my vertigo continues. After 105 days I have learned fairly well how to compensate for the dizziness and am continuing to take 7 dance classes a week. I am happy to report that after nearly a year the pain in my upper back and shoulder area is gone thanks to the Alexander lessons provided by Reinaldo Couto. I am hopeful that with continued focus on my exercises, improved nutrition, some “sun therapy” and your continued prayers, I will soon be rid of this!

Check out the Manresa website, www.manresa-sj.org under the calendar section, for information on my upcoming weekend retreat there, June 4-6. I am beginning to work on the program which should be awesome…a whole weekend of praying through movement. Wow!!! I can hardly wait!!

Prayer in Motion…Let the Spirit move you!
