Dear Spirit Matters family, just wanted to share with you that the universe has thrown me a tragic curveball - that's an awful way to say it but I am not thinking clearly right now. My 89 year old mother is in the hospital with several life-threatening and possibly life-ending health issues. I am caring for her, her house and her affairs, as well as numerous other personal issues that have come up. I'll be popping in here regularly but sadly, the plans for some new and fun upcoming events I had slated for September will have to be put on hold. This community is very important to me and I consider many of you family. I'd really appreciate it if you all continue to connect, to post, like, comment and support each other. For those who don't know, Skool communities are ranked in large part on participation. And the higher the ranking, the more like-minded people we reach by our visibility. Here at Spirit Matters, we don't play games and challenges to climb leaderboards and such because I one hundred percent want us to be real, authentic and organic. I am so proud to say that even without hoopla, we are high in the rankings for spiritual groups. We were at #429 yesterday, which is fantastic! So even while our planned LIVE meetings and some other projects are delayed, I ask you all to keep doing what you are doing - share the love and keep it going. Thank you all - I'm here as always, just in a daze...
