I almost forgot to mention that I got to have lunch with Manya yesterday! I haven't seen her since April in Tucson, so it was fun. We had lunch at Legal Seafood in Burlington. We overate, as we always do together; gossiped, talked of esoteric things and exchanged gifts. She gave me a new tarot deck - both decks I have are from her, come to think of it - and I have her a set of Pagan Prayer Beads I made for her. I'm grateful that she seemed to love them. It was worth my meditating on them, as the turquoise and charms I used really seemed to mean something special to her! Yay - I love it when things feel right and turn out right! I'll post a picture soon. I'm somewhat inspired now - I have to go and make a set for myself. Maybe I'll ask my new deck for guidance! ;)
