Yesterday was my birthday, and how blessed I am...to be surrounded and celebrated for days with friends and family in so many lovely ways! My dear friend Elizabeth planned a wonderful evening, beginning with an herbal foot bath, and a meal fit for a queen! Then she surprised me with another of my favorite head-dresses she makes (for the modern tribe), and an incredible ceremony creating the most beautiful mhendi design on my hand! Thank you my beloved friend Eliza!!Then the next night my 3 girls (at home) surprised me with a sweet gathering of friends, flowers luscious foods and gifts! Calls from my other 3 daughters (thank you Shariyah for this lovely tribute...http://www.shariyahgarner.blogspot.com/), gifts and gatherings with other friends continued to surround and bless my soul with so much LoVe!! Then last night my daughter Zionah gave me the most wonderful foot, hand/arm massage, with hand-made chocolate and candles, incense & music filling my room...sending me into a deep dream-land.
I thank my Lord for such a wonderful Life, and for the Love that fills my soul with beauty and grace.
