Time to Reconnect

so many wonderful things happening in life for me and it's so easy to stray from here! but deborah has kindly lured me back, lol, with a note reminding me of the newly formed facilitators group AND the fact that due to technical difficulties back at the inception of this grand website, i had managed to create two pages.....so i have chosen to keep the "Claujuh" named one and remove the "claudia quinn cashman" one......i may even change Claujuh to Kalea......you see, Claudia actually means "the lame one": i have been plagued with musculoskeletal difficulties my whole life on this planet; many surgeries and recoveries, many problems on a regular basis; when i attended the gathering in '04, Chisao suggested the name KALEA to me....my spirit name she said.....it is hawaiian and means "shining one". i keep toying with the notion of changing my name "for real", "for good".....i do have a couple of friends who call me Kalea and it feels so right! so, i will ofcourse let people here know if i do decide to go by Kalea within our community. and i am SO PLEASED to know that because of my most recent voiceover work, this time on a documentary that has been picked up by PBS, i will more than likely have the funds to allow me to attend this summer's gathering. i shudder with deep delight at the mere thought of it. despite the financial situation we ALL find ourselves in, i will uphold the belief that i WILL be able to put some of the money towards The Gathering.....BREATHE, BELIEVE, RECEIVE...that's what i always say!

with love and light to all,
Kalea/Claujuh (smile)
