Belated December 2025 Newsletter

Happy Holidays Beloveds! I delighted in the snow covered day this past week from my safe warm living room. See above. I do enjoy this time of year with all the colored lights covering or peaking out from the windows of many homes in the area. There's a huge pine tree covered with Christmas lights as you come into Sudbrook Park near me. I was out shopping late enough (5pm) Saturday evening to finally see it all lit up along with several beautifully decorated homes along my way home. There's chanting playing in the background as I write to you along with Christmas Carols playing in my head. Tis the season! I hope you're enjoying what December offers! Solstice is on this Sunday, the 21st, and the light begins to return. Yeah! I do look forward to the days getting longer! Amazing Poet Reviews My Book's Intro I have been in awe of Victor Maria Rincones poetry on Facebook. I was surprised and touched when he left me this response after reading my memoir's Intro: "I haven’t read your book yet, but reading this felt like being trusted. What you offer is not a polished story, but a living one - brave enough to include both the light that comforts and the shadow that teaches. Your willingness to speak honestly about love, desire, confusion, devotion, and healing carries a rare kind of courage: the courage to remain open when closing would be easier. You inspire and intrigue me by the way you honor the body without separating it from the soul, and by how you let tenderness and sexuality speak in the same voice. There is no pretense here - only a sincere devotion to truth as it has been lived, felt, and earned. Thank you for sharing this. I’m so glad and grateful you're You." Along with this moving note he asked to chat with me on Messenger and we've been getting to know each other since. Please check him out on Facebook and read his powerfully moving work with the artwork linked to it. Much of the artwork he created and credits others for theirs. I was stunned to silence after reading "Solitude". Check it out on his Facebook page or contact me and I can forward it to you. If you're interested in buying a copy of my memoir, Stripped Naked & Other Songs of Love, it's on Amazon under Books. The paperback is $29 and the ebook is $9.99. If you'd like a signed copy I can mail one to you for $30 in most areas of the US.

I haven't scheduled other classes yet but will let you know when I arrange one. 2026 may bring in some new teachings. I'll keep you posted. Till then, put the All Love Zoom on your calendar for the 3rd Thursdays. In Closing Many seem to be experiencing overwhelmed by the way things are unfolding in the world. May you find "the root of the root" of your own soul to comfort you in these challenging times...one breath at a time. Remember I'm here if you need to talk. I pray you're navigating everything well and can enjoy the joys and traditions that fill this time of year! So "Merry Everything and Happy Always" Beloveds! Please reach out and share what's unfolding for you this season. Much Love and Many Sweet Blessings, Sherry Sherry Tuegel www.body-beloved.com 410-598-1010
