HELLO EVERYONE:

So much is happening I can hardly keep up with it. How about you?

Sorry I haven't been in touch for awhile. When I'm in a really creative mode, I lose all track of time. Lots of big things are in the works: new books are being written; some Dancing Dolphin Essences will soon be available in a roll-on that includes aromatherapy (or unscented if you prefer); workshops are being developed; the new skin care line is underway; and a new Dancing Dolphin Essence is being created - a collaboration between myself and Robert Shulman. It will be a Camelot essence. I've been working heavily with the energies of Camelot for many years and now they are all coming together.

I've received many great dolphin stories lately. If you have one, feel free to send it to me. I'll be putting up a special section on the Dolphin Empowerment website and the blog so people can read them and be uplifted. Any dolphin or whale encounter will do - etheric, dreamtime, or face to face in the water. If you have sent one previously, feel free to send it again. My computer crashed in December and any emails I received prior to the crash were lost.

Note to those reading this message using AOL. In the very near future you may not be able to receive this newsletter, or any others you are subscribed to. AOL is threatening a "delivery tax" charged to those of us sending newsletter to AOL customers. Most free newsletters are available for free because even if they require hours of time, they require little money to send. If AOL adds a charge, then we will either have to cover that fee by charging for the newsletter (which I would only charge to AOL customers), or AOL customers simply won't get the newsletter. Their customers are the only ones who can change their mind. I suggest that if you care about this, or any other, newsletter arriving - since you did subscribe to it - that you talk to AOL yourself.

It is a great honor to be the bringer of these messeges.

May you be blessed in the radiance of the One. May you find joy, inspiration, and upliftment in these words. Close your eyes for a moment. Take a few slow deep breaths and center yourself. Allow your Higher Self and guides to use this communication to assist you. Feel their loving, joy-filled, healing energy being poured into you and your world in this moment. Find something you are grateful for. From that space, read these words and allow them to bless both you and your life.

SPRING EQUINOX, GLOBAL MEDITATIONS AND INITIATIONS

What a very very powerful time we are in. This year's Spring Equinox on March 20th (my birthday) - the perfect balance of dark and light, night and day, masculine and feminine, the midway point between winter and summer - falls in between the Lunar Eclipse of March 14th and the Total Solar Eclipse of March 29th. It is a profound time of transformation and has much to offer in the way of accelerated personal and spiritual growth. Take full advantage of it.

Each year David J. Adams and I faciliate global meditations on both Spring and Fall Equinox. People from around the world "tune in" and participate both individually and in groups. Please add your energy and intent as well. Visit the website and print out the meditations. You can also print out this year's labyrinth. http://www.DolphinEmpowerment.com/EquinoxMeditations.htm

Spring Equinox, March 20th, 8 p.m. wherever you are
As David would say: With oceans of love and love of the oceans.

(See the articles at the bottom of the page for more information about Spring Equinox, and the Lunar and Solar Eclipses)

9 FIRES OF TRUTH: FIRE NUMBER THREE - by Raven

In the last newsletter I wrote about the 2nd Fire, Courage. When you begin with Wisdom, the 1st Fire, everything else comes easier. The second fire represents Courage, which gives us the strength to share our Wisdom and make a difference in our world. With the 3rd Fire, Love, we learn to love ourselves and others. When we share our Wisdom and do it with Courage we have to Love and treat others with respect, dignity and honor. (View the previous two articles in issues 72 and 73 by clicking the visiting the links here: http://www.spiritofnature.org/articles.htm)

Each quality is represented by an animal, crystal, and color. There is a prayer and a meditation with each quality as well. The meditation works best with a Crystal Peace Wheel Set to assist you in creating the sacred space for the meditation, however it is not required. The Crystal Sets have been charged and activated in the first Medicine Wheel of Peace that was created here on our land in Nambe, New Mexico.

Prayer: My heart is full of Love for myself and all things around me. I am divine Love in every moment of my life. I think Love, I feel Love, I embrace Love.

Crystal: Pink Quartz

Color: Pink

Animal: Wolf

Meditation: Sitting in or near your Peace Wheel, focus your attention on the direction of the East. Call in your Spirit Guides and Master Teachers. Call upon the Spirit of Wolf to come to you and show you how to Love. To love yourself, you’re family, neighbors and all of mankind. Ask Wolf to show you how to love all of creation, for you are a part of creation and creation is a part of you. Pick up the Pink Quartz and connect with the vibrations of love that emanate from it. All stones are considered our elders for they have been in existence for much longer than we have. Honor them for their courage and stamina. Open to their teachings.

Always end your meditation in a prayer of thanks to all of those who have assisted you and for all that you have received.

The Love I speak about here is not the kind of emotional passionate love we often think of. This Love is unconditional love that allows people to be who they are. This love is about honoring and respecting others. It allows people to make their own choices, to fail and to succeed. It allows them to discover the truth for themselves and gives them the space and support to do so. This love is hard sometimes. It is the love that we exhibit when we let a loved one go instead of hanging on to them when we know it is better for them. We often think of love as hanging on to people to keep them in our lives. That is not love. That is fear and control.

As humans we need to learn from Wolf. Wolf loves and takes care of members of the pack. Outsiders are not welcome and are often attacked and sometimes killed just because they come from a different place. Humans do that too. We look at people from other countries, people with different beliefs, different skin color and different language. Instead of honoring and respecting them, we turn them away or worse. This is not Love. This is fear. If we can only love those who are the same as us, then we have a long way to go before we discover the true power of Love.

Love does not have rules and expectations; it is open, divine and unconditional. It does not change with time or circumstances.
It is infinite, universal and immortal just as we are.
Love is expansive, not manipulative
Love exists in all places, at all times, it has no limits or restrictions.

Open your heart and accept people for who they are. Honor them and learn from their differences. Be colorblind, see the essence of the person, the goodness within them, not the color of their skin, nationality or language. Build bridges to unite, not walls that separate.

To be able to do these things we must first learn to Love ourselves. Use the energies of Wolf, the color Pink and the Pink Quartz in your Peace Wheel to help you learn to Love.

Once you have learned to Love, you can move on and learn to Trust that all is in divine right order and the world is perfect just the way it is.

In our next newsletter we will delve into the 4th Fire, the Fire of Trust. Until then, be Wise, act with Courage and learn to Love yourself and others.

Blessings,
Raven

THE FOUNDATIONS OF HEALTH by Debbie "Takara" Shelor

Long before I became an alchemist and began creating energy enhancing products, I was heavily involved in aromatherapy. And long before I was professionally trained in aromatherapy, I was working with, studying, and teaching about wellness and nutrition.

You've heard me say before that the two biggest problems people face that keep them out of their power and out of alignment with their spiritual nature, is their health and their finances. When your body isn't working, it takes all of your attention. When you are facing financial difficulty, it takes all of your focus.

Every now and then something comes along that really catches my attention. I believe that every moment of every day the Universe is communicating with me though the people I meet and the experiences I have. I have many projects in the works and most of them require capital. So I asked the Universe for more cash flow. And then this product showed up. Whenever something like that happens, I pay attention. The fact that it showed up while I was in the midst of a very esoteric email conversation with someone in Australia made it even more intriguing.

All good health builds from a solid foundation. You must be properly hydrated, get enough trace minerals, and keep your body alkaline. Xooma Xtreme X20 does all three for less than I pay for some supplements that do only one thing. I feel that is really saying something.

When you have a newsletter list as large as this one, people from everywhere send you stuff trying to get you to sell it. I usually hit delete or toss it in the trash. Boy am I glad I know how to dowse. Otherwise I would spend countless hours trying to use my logical mind to determine if something would be beneficial for me personally or financially. It all sounds good of course. That is what packaging and marketing materials are designed to do. So, I switch off the logical brain and let my guidance system assist me. (I highly suggest you do the same with yours. It saves tons of time, energy, and money)

- Side note: We are in conversation with Raymon Grace - one of the worlds leading healers/dowsers - about teaching a workshop in Santa Fe. Let me know if you would be interested in visiting Santa Fe to attend. We need to know how many people are interested before we proceed with plans.

My guidance system said pay attention. So that is when I turned the logical mind back on and learned what I could to determine what to do with the information. Not only have Raven and I decided to use the product ourselves, but we have decided to jump in with both feet and do it as a business as well. If you need cash flow yourself, visit my Blog to read about why I think this is an outstanding business opportunity. Every business is a learning opportunity and boy have I learned what works and what doesn't with home based nutrition businesses. If you are also interested in increasing your cash flow, visit my blog: http://dolphinempowerment.blogspot.com

- Side note: Many of you purchased Prill Beads from me. I was very pleased with Prill and very displeased with the company that offered them. (Another lesson I've learned along the way). Prill altered the molecular structure of water and allowed you to hydrate yourself better. They were great. It was alot of work though. You had to pour water all the time. You had to pour a gallon of water into a container, let it sit for awhile with the Prill Beads, and then pour it out to drink it. It became too difficult and most people gave up. We eventually stuck 4 bags of Prills Beads in a crock and Raven puts the 5 gallon containers on top. It doesn't altered the water like it did when we were pouring with the 1 gallon containers. I stopped selling them a long time ago because the issues the company was having weren't acceptable to me. Jim Carter, the guy who brought Prill Beads to the market, died last fall. The company no longer exists and the products are no longer available. After Prill, we swore we would never do another product. And we were quite adament about that. I've now changed my mind.

For $9.99 it was a complete no-brainer to try Xtreme X20 and get involved in the business. The second day I was already seeing a big difference in hydration. We live in the high desert, so dehydration is a way of life. And like I explained above, our prills aren't altering the water the way they used to because we aren't using them the suggested way. By the fourth day the dry lines around my eyes (I'm turning 45 on the 20th) were gone. I mean totally and complely gone. There are other signs that my foundation of health is shifting in a positive way, but I'm letting that unfold before I talk more about it.

If you want to provide yourself with a firm foundation for health at an extremely affordable price, visit http://www.XoomaWorldwide.com/Takara

Here is how to order:

Click the link: http://www.XoomaWorldwide.com/Takara ,
Find the horizontal navigation bar. On the left it says “Home.” On the right it says “Join Xooma Now.”
Click “Join Xooma Now” – even if you are simply interested in ordering the product as a customer.
On that page you have the option of choosing a) Join as a Distributor (for $9.99, worth $45 – if you think you might share the products with others), or b) Join as a Preferred Customer (prices are slightly higher per month. Distributors get to purchase at wholesale).
Click the one you prefer. You will have to fill out your information to place the order. If you scroll to the bottom of the page, you can see the choices of sizes to order.
They ship to practically every country.

We began with the $9.99 distributor special ($14.99 outside the U.S., Canada, or Barbados). It is what my inner guidance suggested. We got to try the product (12 sachets) and got $45 worth of stuff for that low price. We were put on autoship (automatically ship you an order once a month until you stop it – which gets you free shipping) for $25 (30 packets a month). We’ve already decided to up that to the double for $50 per month. That way Raven and I can both have 1 sachet a day. We will earn more commissions, etc. And we will probably increase that again to the quad pack (120 sachets) for $100. That way the whole family gets some, and we will have some to sell/share.

My upline is Robert Marsh from Australia. All of the money he earns from his Xooma business is going toward the building of a Oneness temple in India where they plan to have 8000 people in continuous prayer for peace. I love that my business (and your's too if you join) is supporting that mission.

A DEATH IN THE FAMILY (with permission)

I met Howard Garrett - who sent out this message - when I lived in the San Juan Islands working to found a non-profit for dolphins and whales. The 3 pods that live there are like my family. You can read more about my relationship with them in my article A Special Relationship with Orcas. Visit http://www.dolphinempowerment.com/dolphinart.htm or read my eBook Dancing with Dolphins.

A death in the family

March 10 was a sad day for all of us who have been following Luna's story and hoping for a much happier ending. At around 9 am, in Nootka Sound, B.C., Luna approached a 104' tugboat that had pulled into a cove, idling, to get out of rough seas. As in recent reports from Mike Parfit, Luna commonly approached the wash of props, and was apparently sucked in to the props of the tug. Though Luna had been around many tugs, this was a larger tug than he was accustomed to. It is believed he died instantly, and his body apparently sank, though fisheries staff headed to the scene to look for evidence.

We mourned Luna's death when he first went missing and was presumed dead in June 2001 (never before had a resident orca gone missing and showed up again, with or without its pod). Luna was always special to us, because we had met him shortly after his birth in September 1999. During a short visit to San Juan Island, just before we had to leave, L67 swam by the Center for Whale Research with her new little calf, L98/Luna, swimming along behind her - we were all so surprised & excited - it was almost as if she was bringing him by to show him off!

Luna's story was full of little mysteries from the very beginning - when L67 swam by with her new calf, she was alone, L pod was nowhere to be seen. Later in the day she had rejoined L pod, and K pod was around as well - but then the new calf showed up with a K pod whale (K 18) instead of L67. For a week or two, researchers wondered just who L98 really belonged to, as he was seen often with K18 rather than his mom.

Then he ended up back with his mom, L67, and seemed to be a normal little guy, staying with mom and his pod until his disappearance in 2001. It has been speculated that maybe he strayed from L pod when his uncle, L39, disappeared - the theory being the uncle was dying and fell behind the pod, and Luna stayed with him, losing track of the rest of the pod, then wandering up to Nootka Sound alone. No one really knows for sure, but we know that adult males and their young nephews often travel together for long periods. And we know that Luna's mom sometimes strayed away from him, even on the day he was born. However it happened, he was a lost soul, apart from his family, looking for attention and companionship in the people he met in his new chosen home.

He was discovered in Nootka Sound in July 2001, and his presence was made public by Canada's Dept. of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) in late January, 2002. We remember that day so clearly - as we had mourned the loss of this special little whale when he disappeared, we now celebrated with great joy the miracle of his "re-birth!" Then came the many ups and downs of his life in Nootka Sound: the belief of the Mowachaht/Muchalaht First Nation that Luna embodied the spirit of their deceased Chief Ambrose Maquinna and should never be captured, the attempts to keep Luna away from people and boats, and the attempts to keep people and boats away from Luna, the making of plans to relocate him, the fear that marine parks were lurking by to take him in, the attempted capture and relocation of Luna by DFO and NOAA Fisheries, the interception of Luna during the capture attempts by the First Nations people who didn't want Luna captured, and the stories of all who provided monitoring and stewardship in Gold River and Nootka Sound over the last five years, trying to keep Luna safe from people, and people safe from the growing orca's inquisitive approaches.

We are especially thankful to Mike Parfit and Suzanne Chisholm of Mountainside Films for their amazing dedication at monitoring and observing Luna from a safe distance, and reporting on his behavior and his welfare in a very heartfelt way. Their regular reports on Luna have helped us understand a bit more about Luna's life in Nootka Sound, and we all came to know and love him even more through their eyes and words. We also appreciate the efforts of the folks at ReuniteLuna.com, all those who worked on the various stewardship projects during Luna's stay in Nootka Sound, and all who worked on the LunaLive project, attempting to set up a system of listening in to Luna and listening for L pod in the hopes of facilitating a natural reunion. Volumes of photographic and acoustic records will help tell his story for years to come.

We will always remember Luna as a special little whale, who touched many hearts around the world and gave a personal face and story to the plight of his family, the endangered Southern Resident orcas who share our Salish Sea waters. He was one of our own. We can only hope he is now again swimming alongside his uncle L39, wherever their spirits reside~

THE SOLAR WAVE and the MAYAN CALENDAR

Raven and I began participating in the Solar Wave years ago. It is something I thought you might enjoy. Visit Aluna's website to get the instructions and also to get the newest Mayan Calendar that begins March 21st.

THIS IS A FREE CELEBRATION for ALL LIFE on EARTH - PLEASE JOIN IN!
THE 12th ANNUAL SOLAR WAVE 2006
A Solar Synchronized, 24 Hour, Global Equinox Celebration to activate and accelerate a HUGE WAVE OF POSITIVE MASS CONSCIOUSNESS to instill Balance, Peace and Harmony into and between the Mineral, Plant, Animal and Human Kingdoms.
INITIATING the BIRTH OF THE 5th WORLD!
Taking place in your Sacred Place on the planet at Sunrise, March 21st, 2006!

A message from Aluna Joy and the Star Elders...
The 5th World is emerging right now. No wonder life has a surreal feeling and an unexplained anticipation. It is a time where we feel everything in changing, and yet we can't decide if we are coming or going! There is SO MUCH ENERGY that we can't sit still, and yet there seems to be no place to go. But it is something YOU CAN DO right now! With our increasingly heightened manifesting abilities, WE can do something about bringing about a better world! But it will take a WAVE of MASS CONSCIOUSNESS to do this! IT IS TIME FOR YOU TO TAKE ACTION! We CAN bring about PEACE, HARMONY, LOVE, TRUTH, and INTEGRITY. All we have to do is put our DREAMS into ACTION! We can magnify these intents one thousand fold when we use powerful, balanced energy of an equinox! Thus the reason for the SOLAR WAVE for the past 11 years.

WHY EQUINOX? On Equinox, the Earth and Sun are in perfect balance and harmony, as the sun is centered between the Northern and Southern hemispheres, and centered between earth and sky. This creates a sacred cross of balancing energy that naturally harmonizes the planet and humanity. When we consciously work with this energy, we have a great opportunity to affect a deep and positive change in the mass consciousness and our world. We can use this energy to manifest anything we desire. The bigger the wave of consciousness, or intensity of voltage of the energy, the easier it is for us to bring about shift changes. I'm sure you have noticed that the time between desire and manifesting has shrunk considerably. We have to watch out for instant Karma and instant Dharma too! There is not much time between Intent and Effect anymore.

Ancient traditions of the world understood that the EQUINOX is a powerful time for manifesting dreams and visions and to accelerate synchronicity and intuition. From the pyramids in Egypt and Mexico, to the stone circles in England, to the solar markers in the Native northwest, Equinox is time that was honored as a powerful and transformative time. On any given Equinox, we have an incredible opportunity to make a profound difference in our world. Science is beginning to back these ancient truths with facts! What the mystics have known for eons, science in now confirming; thus bringing into the fold of LIGHT even the most adamant skeptic!

Fear mongers of the world will futilely try to use this energy to place us into fear . . . But what we are seeing that negative intent and projection comes back to bite its creator. Universal Justice . . . Don't ya just love it! We NOW have time and space, for our precious God given energy, to take POSITIVE ACTION and CREATE A BETTER WORLD! the Star Elders say that we live in an age of prophecy. An age during which humanity has the opportunity to re-awaken to timeless, inter-dependent relationship with the cosmos. We are here at this special time to help fulfill an awesome and delicately orchestrated plan to align Earth and the Cosmos with the Elemental Kingdoms and humanity with Universal HEART. THIS IS OUR DESTINY and DIVINE PURPOSE! We are here to awaken to the full potential of being authentic, evolved, 5th World Human Beings.

You are invited to organize a Solar Wave Sunrise Gathering in your Sacred Place on Earth.March 21, 2006 marks the first sunrise of the Earth's New Year (Also recognized as Maya New Year). Example: If first light of this new year lands on the Fiji islands near the international date line, this New Year wave ends 24 hours later in the heart of Hawaii. Just as you may have seen "the Wave" being done at sports and concert venues, you will be doing the same thing at Equinox sunrise in global proportions. However, this time, instead of outstretched arms, it will be outstretched hearts. If you can visualize a tidal wave of positive energy starting in Fiji, and building as it moves West to its climax 24 hours later in Hawaii, you have the idea. A Global WAVE of LIGHT.

Gather your tribes together for the Solar Synchronized, 24 Hour, Global SOLAR WAVE Celebration for Balance, Peace and Harmony for Earth and Humanity. As the Equinox Sun rises in your sacred area on March 21, 2006, simply CELEBRATE PEACE, BALANCE and HARMONY in any way, and every way your heart desires. Gratefulness and joyful celebration can heal the imbalances we have created. This is the year we begin to CREATE the 5th WORLD that we are entering into! Celebration suggestions: http://www.kachina.net/~alunajoy/solarwavemedatations.html

NOTE: The exact time of Vernal Equinox is March 20th, 2006 at 1:26 PM EST. This Solar Wave begins at sunrise on March 21st (NOT the exact Vernal Equinox time). Some of you will be doing the Solar Wave before the actual Vernal Equinox, and some of you will be doing it after the actual time. For Example: Our group in Tikal, Guatemala will experience exact Vernal Equinox on March 20th, 2006 at 1:26 PM EST, but will not experience the FIRST SUN RISE until the morning of the 21st where we will be for the sun rise aligned with the top of the Temple of the Jaguar! WOW!

Global Equinox Times Global Sunrise Times Tens of thousands, maybe even tens of MILLIONS of LIGHT Workers (WITH YOUR GRACIOUS HELP) will send out positive intent for an entire 24-hour period producing a 24 hour SOLAR WAVE creating a huge wave of energy infused with LOVE, PEACE and BALANCE that washes across the Earth and humanity. Brothers and sisters from the North and South on the same longitude will unite together within the balancing force of the Equinox SUN! We can use this powerful energy of the Sun to EMPOWER our VISIONS of balance and harmony just as the ancients did.

The Star Elders ask that we take this one simple day to say YES to Peace, to Balance, to Harmony, to Love and Compassion. They ask that for one simple day, we do not allow the negatives, that are still a part of our world, to be in our consciousness. For one day, celebrate and be grateful for humanity and our planet. See the Earth and humanity in perfect balance, perfect peace, and perfect harmony. We cannot ignore the damage we have done. We must outweigh the negative energy with positive intent. It will take a lot of powerful conscious souls to do this at this time. "The more involved in the wave, the merrier" the Star Elders say.

Remember . . . when two or more are gathered together in a common focus, the power to change the world is multiplied a thousand times more than if one person was doing it alone. Use your highest, purest intentions, and remember that the truth is within YOU. So just follow your hearts with balance, peace and harmony.

Aluna Joy

PORTAL OF TRANSFORMATION - by Allison Rae (with permission)

"Even a thought, even a possibility, can shatter us and transform us. " - Friedrich Nietzsche

Feeling a little edgy? It's a tense time with the energy building toward two eclipses and Pluto dancing closer and closer to the Galactic Center.

Talk about a wake-up call. Eclipses and Pluto dont mess around. Both bring the opportunity for deep, lasting transformation through death and rebirth. Whats dying away in your life to make way for the new?

The Virgo Full Moon Lunar Eclipse is Tuesday, March 14. Whether or not you live in an area where the eclipse will be visible, you'll feel the energy. There's a layering effect with the Lunar Eclipse on March 14, the Spring Equinox on March 20, the Solar Eclipse on March 29 and Pluto's approach to the center of our galaxy. Individually and collectively, we're called to change on fundamental levels.

With the Lunar Eclipse, we explore the Virgo-Pisces axis. The Sun in Pisces is deeply spiritual, contemplative. The Moon eclipsed in Virgo illuminates unresolved emotional issues. Pluto squares both the Sun and Moon, demanding physical, mental, emotional and spiritual transformation. Pluto is the relentless excavator, digging deep into our psyches to release clutter and debris. As he approaches the degree of the Galactic Center at 2655 Sagittarius, the changes go quantum. This eclipse also involves Mercury retrograde squaring Pluto. Be wary of misunderstandings, emotional outbursts, accidents and injuries.

These tense aspects create an energetic pressure cooker. In general, eclipses are associated with Earth changes and human violence as deep-seated issues surface for clearing. Transiting Plutos square to the eclipse multiplies the effects.

To bring peace to this process, please consider joining together with others around the world in meditation, prayer and healing for the Earth and all beings at the time of the eclipse in your time zone, and again at the Spring Equinox and March 29 Solar Eclipse.

The Sun enters Aries at the Vernal Equinox on March 20. With the Moon Square Uranus plus the Sun, Moon and Saturn forming a Grand Trine in fire signs, our passions and tempers may be ignited.

The New Moon in Aries on March 29 is the beginning of the astrological new year. The Sun will be eclipsed this time, supercharging this energetic portal. Mercury has resumed forward motion, and the light turns green for plans and projects. Yet Pluto stations retrograde within hours of this eclipse and begins to travel back through Sagittarius, extending his dance with the Galactic Center. During this retrograde transit he'll help us clear any remaining debris from the subconscious and align with our cosmic identity and destiny. Mars in Gemini opposes Pluto in Sagittarius, further fueling the flames of passion and healing old wounds.

The portal of transformation through the end of this month invites us to explore the depths of our individual and collective psyche, release old patterns that no longer serve us, and move forward into a brighter future. This is the promise of the shift of consciousness taking place on Planet Earth. We're experiencing a frequency shift as we and the Earth step up in vibration and enter the Aquarian Age, the World of the Fifth Sun.

No one said the changes would be comfortable. This is a time for retreat, reflection, prayer, meditation and healing, to allow the process to unfold gracefully. Further study Fred Espenak's eclipse page:

"Hi Takara, Many many thanks for your emails, i really do enjoy reading them. I love the connection I now have with "like minded" "spiritual family" Living in Zimbabwe is not easy these days and your newsletters and emails really help to lift me up. I really love the connection with the dolphins too. I was really fortunate to have had the privilege of swimming with Fungi in Ireland in 1996, and visits with the dolphins in Australia, but my best times are in my dreams and meditations."
- Rae, Zimbabwe

"Dear Takara: Thanks very much for your blessing. It's wonderful receive your mail. I reach your site from the hand of Da Vid. Best Wishes from Buenos Aires."

Hi Takara, As always, this issue was time precise for me. My partner and I just started a sports photography business, are in the midst of our first busy summer season, are extremely cash poor currently, and last Friday I accidently dropped our only camera. We are told that repairs could take 8-10 weeks, rendering us unable to shoot cycling events we are booked to cover. My partner tells me I must surrender. I don't understand his analysis. After reading "On a Wing and a Prayer" I understand. Thank you so much."
