Thank you for the well wishes. I would love to go to Omega Institute for your workshop. Can't quite swing the Gathering yet, but as soon as I can I intend to participate. I will reconnect with Dana, thank you. Not sure if I can make it yet, but I will definitely try. Still trying to kick this illness. But the more I can stay connected creatively & spiritually...the more I like it. I'll keep you posted.

It's very encouraging to have your comments and to know that you are connected with all of us who come, even only occassionally, to your site. The more I have practiced Touch Drawing the more I am drawn in to its depth and mystery.Research can only open to more mystery with something so profound. I try to draw every day but haven't managed yet today...must go and draw. Thank you for the gentle reminder.

Thanks for your encouragement and your love of expressing through the arts. I am so happy to be a part of your community. I appreciate the contact name you gave me and look forward to speaking with her. I recently ordered the new book with your art in it and am excited to receive it in the mail. I'll let you know when my book is ready for print.

At 4:05pm on June 30, 2009, Kim Molitor said…: I've got that covered... I have some of my business cards set aside where I've added your website, so as we are speaking, I can give them both your and my information without having to rush and write the info down....

At 6:27am on June 30, 2009, Tina L. Kirsten said…: I have not posted my drawings yet - the 4 I posted were by residents in a nursing home with moderate dementia:)

At 6:26am on June 30, 2009, Tina L. Kirsten said…: I'm sorry - it was actually the book "The Soul's palette" - (I edited my profile page to make this correction.) I would love to attend a workshop sometime in the future!

At 3:52pm on June 29, 2009, Kim Molitor said…: Deborah - thank you for your kind words. It's funny that you mentioned "fusing" my touch drawings with my encaustics because I'm currently working on a few right now. I'll post those and a few of my "pure touch drawings" shortly. I also find myself recommending Touch Drawing to the teachers that I encounter at art shows when they want to try something different to do with the students. Touch Drawing is much safer than encaustics especially working with children.

At 4:30am on June 28, 2009, Drew said…: Will do!

At 12:43pm on June 18, 2009, Shirley M. Silva Cabrera said…: Dear Deborah: All of you are wonderful! I know that you will speak spanish pretty soon too! (You will learn with Joe Ocasio and me!) I'll call you to share with you more information about the Second Integral Thanatology Congress to be celebrated in our island in March 19,2010. We will be very pleased if you can be one of our special speakers. I'm waiting for some answers from the University of Puerto Rico so I can present you more details about the Congress. A big hug for you!

At 9:35am on June 15, 2009, Grace Wood-Wills said…: Hi Deborah, Thanks for your comment about taking the revelent pieces of my comment the other day about facilitating and adding that into your new facilitator's section. I am not sure how to do that. Do I copy and paste? Also I had an experience the other day that got me thinking and wanted to discuss with you. A woman, who I do not know, saw one of my fliers up advertising the two TD workshops that I just completed Saturday. She wrote me an email and said that she saw my website and also when to your TD site. I thought that was great that she was doing her research to see what TD was all about and who both of us are. The curious thing is that I do not have a website (yet) it is on my list. I wondered if she saw me on your website. I wrote her back for clarification and she could not remember. So...it got my creative brain working and I wondered about a button, link whatever you call it that would be available to the general public who comes to your site. The button would be TD facilitators trained by Debrorah. This button would have a place to type in the geographic area they lived in and the facilitator's profile who lives closest to them would pop-up with an opportunity to write to them. The facilitators who's profiles were on the site would pay you an annual amount to be on the site, which would help support you and the website. I think when people go to your site, they will want to experience a TD workshop with you, but because you cannot be everywhere (whew! good thing as you would be really tired) they would have a choice to come to where you are doing something, or contact someone closer to them. I was thinking of $200. per year, or $240 per year which comes out to $20 per month. If you had 40 facilitators who paid $200 per year, you would have $8,000. additional dollars. What do you think. Blessings, all ways, Grace

At 4:36pm on June 5, 2009, Jonina Kirton said…: Got it! Thank you.

I understand that it is important that each person find their own interpetation of cards. I love that there is no interpetation offered with the cards.

I will do as you suggest.

Namaste

At 2:28pm on June 5, 2009, Jonina Kirton said…: yes, it is an offering of oneself when we out ourselves out there.

At 2:23pm on June 5, 2009, Jonina Kirton said…: Deborah,

I am delighted to hear you have posted the readings on your member blog page. I am so enjoying the images.

I have been dreaming about Whidbey Island but have financial challenges right now. This could change soon. I would love to be there.

Namaste

At 2:20pm on June 5, 2009, Jonina Kirton said…: Thank you that is a very good idea! I am still getting used to this idea of self-promotion. I do this because I love it and feel compelled to share it. With each step I take towards a more public life I feel more and more comfortable with this.
