Mondays Offering...a little bit of BiG


The pilgrimage has begun...
with you my lovelies!
Have you seen my total
so far?


Alone I am  lone tree
standing by the vast largeness
of endless needs


but with all of you
I am not alone
we stand rooted and tall 
beside one another
a community
of hearts that give
hearts that are big
hearts that hear the call
and respond...

So many of you wrote to me
"I only have a little"...
look what your little built!
Something so BIG
and that after only one week
I know more is coming in
you've told me so.


beautiful delicate hearts
that you have shared with me


and now in turn
I will share with them...
those who I will walk with in the trenches
those who live on the front lines
in the battlefield of poverty


all the stories
all the digging deep
all the open hearts
all the pure giving
I will take with me
the power goes beyond
what the money can do
the power lines in the purity
that it has been given
and I get to be the one to carry that
I feel so blessed to be a part
of such a brave community of women
you have honoured me with your trust
you have honoured me with your love
you have honoured me with your support
and I thank you


I am giving you each a heart hug
the kind where our heart energy intertwines
when we feel our hearts pumping in synch
the kind of hug that you feel in your whole body
that is the hug I give to each of you who responded
beyond the monetary
your words of encouragement
you belief in giving
whatever that looks like...
You have touched me
and will touch others
I love you
thank you

your little
my lovelies
is so
BIG!

Love and Light

  5. Amazing, Cat! I need to find the headspace to email you (I will promise) From what Gail has said Michael and I are clones of you two! You are starting to live the dream and we are a while off but our aspirations and beliefs seems to align, amazingly so xxx
