- Rachelle Mee-Chapman has a lovely set of links to blogs posting about how to have a soulful autumn. Pour a cup of tea and linger over the inspiration.
- If you live in the Seattle area and are curious about Ignatian spirituality, consider joining me for the Ignatian Prayer Experience. It begins Monday, October 13th from 6:30-9:00 p.m. at St. Joseph Parish Center and runs for seven weeks. Click on the link to find out more and download a registration form.
- I finally got my author copies of my new book! It looks great (except for the cover image which I had nothing to do with) and Amazon has them available for delivery now (or even better, ask your local religious bookstore to carry copies!): Lectio Divina: Contemplative Awakening and Awareness

I set up a new shopping cart system to sell my Reflective Art Journals, so now I can offer them directly from my own website and can take either Paypal or Google Checkout as payment. I will keep my Etsy store up for a few more months during the transition. Go visit the Abbey Store and pre-order your copy of my next zine – Crossing the Threshold: New Year, New Beginnings – available by November 1st for the Celtic new year. It will be filled with inspiration for celebrating new beginnings from different traditions. Or consider an annual subscription and receive the next three zines as soon as they are released! I am trying a new printing process that costs me more per issue (therefore the raised prices) but allows me to order smaller quantities at once. Please let me know if you run into any difficulties with the ordering or checkout process.

We have just a couple of spaces left for our Contemplative Art & Movement Retreat in December and have scheduled new dates for our next Awakening the Creative Spirit: Experiential Education for Spiritual Directors in the Expressive Arts. Consider joining us for some creative exploration and discovery!
Make sure to visit this week's Poetry Party in celebration of the equinox!

This is all so exciting! I just pre-ordered my copy of the book from Amazon. Will go off and explore your new shopping cart.
Just got my e-mail from Amazon that the book shipped last night and that it is due to arrive on Wednesday. That's the good news. The bad news is that I leave tomorrow morning on a business trip and have to wait until I return on Friday to get your book into my hands. Benedict probably has something to say about that – no?
You guys are so great!
I bet Benedict had many things to say about that Rich.
