“If all the beasts were gone,
men would die
from a great loneliness of spirit,
for whatever happens to the beasts
also happens to the man.
All things are connected.
Whatever befalls the Earth
befalls the sons of the Earth.”
― Chief Seattle

Women’s Day
Held on the Thursday before Mother’s Day, this day is a celebration
of ALL women, Non-Mothers and Mothers alike!
Last year, I spent time nurturing myself for the day and it was a lovely celebration. I am not a mother. I have watched in awe as my sisters-in-law, friends, and my one and only Mother gracefully embody myriad roles and strengths as they raised their children. I am full of honor and respect for them. But there was a hole each year for me, and for many of my childless friends – we celebrated the Mothers, but were never celebrated ourselves. We as Sapphire Girls celebrate all women on the Thursday before Mother’s Day.
Let us know how you will love & care for yourself.

Breathing All the Sweetness of Life
Breathing. In and Out. Automatic, unheralded, unconsciousness.
But it doesn’t have to be. With intention and awareness the breath will transform your life. When you breath sweetly, you know the power of the breath. You know that the consciousness of this breath brings you into the moment where you savor the wonders all around you.
This simple yet profound way of traversing the world brings a deepening. Awareness of beauty in nature, in people, in the animals is a natural next step. A calm appreciation, a loving presence, an eye for wonder, all come from this sweet breath.
Breathe in the last light of this day and feel the sweetness of being in this moment of wonder.
