Connect, Dance, Love and Write!

Dancemug_2This mug has been in my house for two years and I've never taken a sip out of it until this past weekend. I couldn't find my standard travel mug so I tossed this one into the small bag I packed for my trip to Atlanta, Georgia where I attended a workshop on combining physical movement with writing called "Write of Passage" presented by Lori Saltzman. (If you ever have the opportunity to work with Lori, go for it. She is a masterful leader and this particular workshop is powerful and fun!)

I bought this mug when I was in Taos, New Mexico attending the Writer's Spa led by Jennifer Louden and Suzanne-Falter Barnes. I have enjoyed admiring the mug but never felt inclined to actually use it. Now that I've christened this mug, I am eager to hold it in my hands and enjoy many more sips of hot tea while being reminded to "Connect, Dance, Love and Write" since it now holds sacred energy from the powerful workshop that I attended. Isn't it interesting how there is a time and place for everything to unfold in divine perfect order?

What infuses your special, sacred objects with meaning?

Blessings!

what a great mug - sooooo YOU! i've never thought of it until this moment, but most of my sacred objects have some sort of family tie. for me, what infuses an object with meaning is knowing that someone i love has touched or used or treasured it.

Beverly,

I signed up for the Writers Spa this year. I hope it is a magical as it sounds. The mug is lovely.

Cool mug ... and super cool that you went to a writer's workshop in Taos - I SO love it out there. One fine day, I shall return to NM. I have so many sacred objects with various meanings, located throughout my home and in my car. Excellent reminds/memories.

Awesome mug. I love this post so much. I'll have to give some thought to your question. It seems like everyone is talking about Taos these days. Have a wonderful weekend.

I have a seated Buddha that I bought at a beautiful market on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland. It always seems to have a beautiful energy and vibration about it. It's funny how these objects can inspire us.

Fabulous mug! Usually, what infuses my sacred objects is the activity I was involved in when I found it, or the people I was with, or both.

I've been meaning to comment on this post for a few days now! I love, love, love this mug! The colors...the movement of it...yes, they feel like they ARE dancing,connecting and loving...what wonderful ritual before writing! Yes..to everything there is a season. Enjoy your tea!
love to you...
