So heart-broken to make this post, but our beloved Loree Ronk has moved from this life to a greater life of freedom from disease. Loree attended Rooted & Reaching classes for MANY years and kept attending even as she battled cancer and blindness related to her disease. Her sweet, kind, gentle and determined spirit is an inspiration to all of us. She leaves behind her husband and children so please be in prayer for all of them.

Two BEaUtiful quotes from Anne-Marie Sayers, Tribal Chairperson of the Ohlone/ Costanoan people of Indian Canyon:

"A human being's identity is inseparable from one’s connection
to Spirit. Without Spirit we are divided and empty and cannot find our true identity. Unless people are connected to Spirit, life is going to be very difficult in today’s world that is so deprived of the Sacred."

"My mother believed that when the ceremonies, songs and
dances stop, so does the Earth. And I do too. It all comes back to the Mutsun word Noso-n which means “In Breath so it is in Spirit”. If it breathes, it is alive, and if it is alive, it has a spirit. All of life is inter-connected and sacred."

Breath Prayers for Advent: On Christmas Day we light the Christ candle… for a Savior that brings his Light to the darkness… all the broken, shattered, crippled, withered, grieving and dying places within. A Light that asks something different of us than the place we find ourselves stuck. Do we have the courage reach towards the Light?

Week 4 of Breath Prayers for Advent -- for those struggling to get through this holiday season -- today we light the candle of LOVE. How do we find and respond to the gift of LOVE being offered when the darkness attempts to isolate us?

Breath Prayers for Advent series -- this week we light and breathe with the theme of JOY with the words of Kahlil Gibran:
Some of you say, “Joy is greater than sorrow,” and others say, “Nay, sorrow is the greater.”
But I say unto you, they are inseparable.

If you struggle to find JOY in the midst of this season... due to loss, grief, anxiety, depression, sorrow... these are breath prayers for you. Come breathe with us at: https://jodythomae.com/2025/12/14/breath-prayers-advent-joy/
