Yesterday I received a book from my dear friend, @Vicki Dunn called EMBERS from Richard Wagamese. I opened the book randomly to share one message with you today. A beautiful image with light shining through the trees on a snowy path revealed these words: “I am a traveller on a sacred journey through this one shining day.” Vicki chose this book, wrote me a heartfelt note, and sent it my way. Her experience with it brought her stillness, presence, and peace—and she thought of me. There is something very special about being remembered like that. Thank you, Vicki, for your generosity and for bringing Embers into my life. What is one thing you are grateful for today?

Hope everyone is enjoying the long weekend. Today's gratitude belongs.to my best friends and another weekend on their ranch for end-of-summer R&R and fun.

Happy Saturday, Portal Pals, I am deeply grateful for your presence here. First, can I still call you 'Portal Pals' since I changed our community name from The Language Portal to Sacred Writing? I mean the energy is the same, and we are still accessing and writing in The Portal. It's the means by which people discover us who don't know the magic of this community and the sacred writing session. Today's shoutout is to Karin Davis who is at the top of the 7-day and 30-day leaderboard. Not only that but she's top of the 7-day leaderboard in Self-Publishing Skool. I'd like to ce Karin is an author and writer of non-fiction, such as Star Lineages. and is looking for guidance to publish her books. She is on Skool to raise our vibration, bringing love and harmony, and share her work as an acrylic artist of aquatic sea life and lighthouses. Please join me in celebrating Karin, each of you, and the rain. If you remember, we've had a month of fire storms in central BC where I live. Added to our own dense smoke was that from Washington and Idaho. What are you celebrating today?

Skool recently launched Reviews, and I'm deeply grateful to @Vicki Dunn and @Ryan Clark for taking the time to show their appreciation by writing one. One stipulation Skool made is that only paid members can leave reviews. This makes sense to me, since it highlights the value a Skool community owner brings beyond the free content. Ryan has been part of The Language Portal in so many ways, from our complimentary co-writing sessions to Write From Source, Authority in Authorship, and now the Living Journal. It means a great deal to read how he sees and experiences what I've been creating here. And Vicki's words touched me deeply. I've watched her make writing part of her life, and to hear that Sacred Writing Sessions have helped writing become “a much loved daily ritual” is exactly the kind of transformation I hoped this space could support. You can read both of their full reviews in the About section. Both Vicki and Ryan are also members of Self-Publishing Skool. Thank you, Vicki and Ryan. Your words are received with gratefulness.
