My store was overflowing with beautiful energy today!!!! It was truly phenomenal and here's why. A typical day at the store is quiet. Only on Friday evening when we have what I call a SunSet do we have guests and passerby traffic at the store, but today we had sisters from ages 18 on up to early 60s and it was simply divine what the women had to say. Some of them came to the store at 10am and stayed until 5pm talking and vibing. It was unbelievable.

We talked about everything from getting rid of that ugly underwear, adorning ourselves with natural, beautiful things, and whispering to our children instead of hollering at them. I wish I could put today into words, but it was just a vibe that just happened. One sister stopped in and told us all how she was burned over 65% of her body and left for dead, but she was standing there in my store, radiant, glowing, and awesome. Today was just one of those spectacular days.

We talked about forming a quilting circle with younger sisters; we talked about giving our men folk pedicures and the sensual art of taking care of our feet - the sacredness of foot washing. This was a powerful day. No one cared about getting back to work, no one worried about the time, no one even noticed that we didn't have lunch. We just talked and healed and loved. We are definitely going to do it again. Today was DIVINE!

I've been wondering lately if opening the store was the thing I was asked to do, and after today's meeting of the minds, spirits, and energies, I'm reminded that INDEED opening SAKILE (Peace & Beauty) was most definitely THE thing I was asked to do!
