Happy July Beloveds!

Hope you all are staying cool in this hot July weather! I've been enjoying swimming 3 times a week in an indoor pool at my gym. Getting into the oven, I mean car, to and from the pool has been a test, however. I was happy to wake up today (7/11) to cooler weather and sat out back enjoying the cooling breeze for a while this morning. That beginning has made the whole day sweeter!

Speaking of sweet, I'm delighted to report that my wonderful editor, Dvora Konstant, completed my book and sent me the final draft! I've sent it to my Beta Readers and await their comments. I'm now in search of an affordable Book Designer and Cover Designer. If you know anyone, please let me know. Here is my mock up of the cover that I've posted before.

And here's a snippet from my book from the Fall of 2008:

"New York! New York!

"A little over a month after my Tantra Retreat, I arrived in NYC. I walked through the train station meeting the eyes of others with ease and love once again. Like my last trip going to Omega, the fear was gone, the tension gone. I no longer felt like prey. It was like being in Auckland, I felt at ease in the bustle. When I walked past a man with ragged clothes, I met his eyes and smiled. He smiled back. I worked in NYC several times in the mid-90's and had always moved through the city with great caution. Not this trip. My New Zealand retreat had truly changed me. I loved the ease I felt."

I mention in the book that it was in this trip, walking down the streets of New York City where my Tantra friends told me I was a Tantrika but just not practicing yet. I was and am so grateful! I look forward to the day I can give you the link to my memoir on Amazon. (Big Grin!)

Upcoming Classes

I've decided to take July and August off from my monthly All Love Zoom. We will restart in September. I am really looking forward to being with Patrick in August for his 4 day class. See the flyer below for details. Do tell Karuna Joy I sent you if you sign up. Call me at 410-598-1010 between 11am and 7pm for details or if you have any questions.

In Closing

Leaving you with a little wisdom (see picture) from one of my favorite teachers, Gangaji; if you too are seeking the truth or enlightenment. I am excellent at being distracted and when I finally stop, I can feel the support! Gangaji encourages us to just stop. It's not always easy. As Ram Dass said, "we are all just walking each other home." I'm happy that you are part of my journey home!

I do love to hear from you about the road you travel these days. Drop me a note and let me know what's going on in your life. Whatever it is I hope it is sweet and filled with blessings!

Much Love Always,
Sherry

My August 2024 Newsletter

Happy August Beloveds!

I hope you're having a wonderful August! I'm currently resting up after my delightful and powerful class with Patrick Zeigler in Vienna Virginia this past weekend. See the header above for two of the photos from our time together. Sekhem All Love continues to light up my world! I'm so grateful! Thank you Patrick, Sirley and Karuna for making our time together so amazing! It was wonderful to see many returning friends and meet new beautiful souls. I'm already looking forward to our next class. I plan to offer monthly Zooms again and may put together an in-person class. Please let me know if you're interested in a Saturday afternoon 3 to 4 hour class in September and/or October. Looking forward to sharing this heart-opening loving energy again very soon! See below for September's Zoom time.

I always have to have a picture with Patrick. Here's one from our last dinner together Monday evening at a Mexican restaurant. I kinda matched the artwork..

News on Stripped Naked & Other Songs of Love

I've sent my memoire to my Beta Readers and am looking forward to hearing back from them. In the meantime here's another snippet from the book taken from my 2009 Journal:

"On the 2nd of April I wrote:

What do you want of me other than joy, Beloved? What, if anything?
I love the sense of the Other – other in spirit and other in flesh. I ignite with it.

_Love rolls up inside me and flows outward. This love is passionate and beyond passionate. It brings tears to my eyes and a tightness in my throat as I want to cry out with love. Crying out for my Beloved who I have long ago lost inside myself. She emerges slowly, surely and dearly. _

She is Goddess and she is child, mother, male, female, all. I touch her face as I touch my Beloved Adam. She looks through his eyes at me and through my eyes in the mirror.

I slide past passion into moments of Being where words drop away and the Buddhist chant ‘Gate Gate Gate’ floats playfully around me. My ego won't allow much of a visit here but slowly my heart takes the reins and opens the sky to me.

This is such a sweet and painful journey. A journey of choice not mandate. I choose to be embodied. Why I choose to be such a doofus through most of it I don't know, but que sera sera!"

I was contacted by Gilchrist Hospice and they are looking for Reiki and Massage Therapist volunteers. If you are interested in volunteering please give me a call at 410-598-1010 and I will put you in touch with the coordinator. Thanks!

I hope your life is full of summer time fun! I've been enjoying the more temperate days recently as we move closer to Fall. Labor Day is just around the corner! Have fun and stay safe out there!

Many Sweet Blessings,
