FutureSister2009 Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Well for one thing, I did not know that November 14th was the Feast of All Carmelite Saints so you learn something new everyday. And I try to hide my jealousy but GRRRRR I'm....so...happy for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aya Sophia Posted October 19, 2011 Author Share Posted October 19, 2011 I am thanking God: - for His peace that is drawing me on, enabling me to act and move forward - that this painful period of my life is nearing a close - for the terrible and wonderful graces received during this time I'm also thanking God for my nephew who just shared with me the outcome of a school "interview" project for which I was the subject interviewed. In his own assessment of the interview, which I didn't know about, he said that he had learned many 'deep' things about me he had never known before and that he wanted to continue to get to know me better. . . .

Aya Sophia Posted October 29, 2011 Author Share Posted October 29, 2011 Hello, all Leaving "home" one week from today, 4 Nov, to go on retreat in Mobile, then fly to Paris to visit friends then take the train from Paris to London the morning of the 14 Nov and head north to the monastery, entering, I hope, before Vespers. Although I'm running out of time here, I still hope to post a little more on VS because...well, may be running out of time but am [u]not[/u] running out of hot air!
