Sunday morning it is and the beginning of a new month is upon us, the month of September. It is the month of Joe’s big birthday and the month when summer slowly but surely winds down. These past couples of days with all of their grayness, rain and fog are clear indicators of fall, I would say. I know that fall can be beautifully colorful, crisp and pretty. So where are those days of beautiful weather now? As always, if we do not experience the opposite we usually do not appreciate the picture perfect Thank you for bringing that to my attention over and over again all through this magnificent journey upon the largest component of this planet being water, primarily ocean. Me being a Capricorn, a goat that loves climbing hills and walking the trails through forests and flower filled fields is a constant challenge, yet there also is a part of me that loves the sea, loves the dolphins , rivers and lakes. Interesting life I have chosen and much have I grown!

Docking at Newport Marina was a delight. It is a brand new renovated marina right down town of Newport. I had the privilege to spend the entire day with my friend Rev. Gail Hicks. She picked me up in am and took me to her home for a beautiful healing with all of her and my spirit guides and angels. Thank you Gail for doing that for me! Our lunch at LePage’s restaurant was scrumptious and we ran into Peter and Tena, who’s brother owns the restaurant. Coincidence, I don’t think so! Thank you Peter and Tena for lunch! Most gracious as always!
Our encounter at the Vietnamese Nail Shop was another blessing of its kind. First it was open on a holiday and second there was no one there the entire time. All three women were very kind and nurturing especially ‘Mom’. As she was doing pressure point massage along my legs and my feet I could feel the healing hands and humble but powerful energy emanating from her. Thank you ‘Mom” for taking such good care of me!

My next treat was the special visit to St. Anne’s church in Fall River. Actually it was the basement of the church bringing back memories of the basement of St. John the Baptist church in Fairview where I experienced the Revival of the Holy Spirit within my heart. Thank you Rev. Gail for sharing this special place with me. I was mesmerized by seeing a statue of Mother Theresa, Padre Pio, Our Lady of Fatima and all the children as well as St Francis and so many more. What an enlightening basement that is! A great day and a great ending to a special treat for me with a dinner on the Contessa in preparation to our departure from Newport the following morning.
