Hi everyone

I am not sure if The Twelve Days of Christmas starts today or tomorrow, but just to let you know I haven´t seen a Partridge in my pear tree (yet).

Yesterday was a great meeting as always with Deborah, who gave us an explanation to all the Major Arcana Tarot cards,  i.e. The Fool´s journey.  A very interesting and educational afternoon. Thank you Deborah.

Although no speaker and not a gap of a fortnight we are meeting up next Wednesday 18th  usual time, at Marley's for anyone who wishes to come along for a drink and a mince pie (or an alternative for those who don´t like or cannot eat one for any reason).  No plans - we can talk spiritual, holistic or just chat, it is a pre-Christmas  informal afternoon get-together.

A reminder that Kevin at Marley´s is willing to take in and pass on any donations for the people who are still in need due to the Valencian flooding, it definitely won't be a very good festive season for them.

A few Christmas sayings before signing off...........

• Wrap yourself in each other’s presence and don’t just submerge yourself in the presents.

• The loving, sharing, and giving of Christmas should not just be enjoyed for one day, it should never be put away.

• It’s not about how much we give, but about how much love we put into giving.

Love to all

Hi everyone

I hope you are keeping well and warm.

A reminder that Kevin has offered to open up for us to have a get together (no speaker) on 18th December.  I know that it is a busy time of year for most, but it would be nice to meet up socially.  Please let me know if you would like to be at Marley's on Wednesday 18th.

Between then and now we have Wednesday 11th , the subject Tarot, and the speaker Deborah Jane Sutton.  Looking forward to that, and looking forward to seeing all who can make it to the meeting.

A reminder that the people of the 28 villages still need our help and Marley's, Hilltop Bar and Project4All are all still taking in donations for the Valencian flood victims.

I am starting to organise the diary for 2025,  and promise to have meetings with discussions on the subjects suggested in the ´what box´.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend.

Love to all.  Jan. x 🌻🎄

Hi everyone,

A great meeting yesterday.  Carl´s guide Ka Ta Rang gave us a talk on the subject of guides.  Followed by the usual Q&A with all sort of spiritual subjects being covered.  Very interesting, very inspirational, and very informative.  Thanks to Carl and his guide.

Our next meeting on 11th December will be on the subject of Tarot with Deborah Jane Sutton.   The following week 18th Kevin has offered to open up the bar for us if people are interested in meeting up.. Please let me know if you would like to meet up on the 18th for a festive get together a mince pie and a chat.

As always we have been collecting during the year to raise money for the teenagers at the Benissa Home.  Unfortunately, in the money-pot on the table at meetings we have only raised two thirds of what we have in previous years.  There are ten children at the Home all of whom have been taken away from their families due to being abused in some way.  The Home cares for the children including aftercare in finding them somewhere to live and work experience.  Any donations would be greatly received however small.

Also on the subject of ´giving´ we have all been shocked and upset at the devastation from the flooding so near to us in Valencia.   Kevin is working in conjunction with others in Moraira to take in any donations for the families who have suffered losing everything they owned.  Kevin has been to see for himself  and told me even after a month, there is no way of explaining how bad the situation still is in the affected area. The whole area even after a month is still in process of being cleared and families still need everything.  Food, toiletries, cleaning materials, and of course toys for the kids. Marley´s phone number is 603 666 894 if you need to know when he will be at the bar to take in any donations.

In Benissa is a collecting point for animal foodstuffs. If you need the directions of how to find it let me know.

Also, I am told that the people affected by the flood are asking for bicycles, the collection point is  Paws in Jalon.  If you have a bicycle working order or in any state of repair that you no longer need please donate as people are making the bikes back to being roadworthy.

A few thoughts for the days ahead...............

• "The most important thing is to enjoy your life–to be happy–it's all that matters." – Audrey Hepburn

• "Love the life you live. Live the life you love." – Bob Marley

• "The most wasted of all days is one without laughter." – E. E. Cummings

• "Start each day with a positive thought and a grateful heart." – Roy Bennett

not spiritual, but oh so true...........

Enjoy the rest of the week
