A Celtic Blessing from Anam Cara (a gaelic phrase meaning "soul friend") the book by John O'Donohue (a lovely and wonderful book with which Devin once gifted me and which I still treasure both for the thoughtful gift and the poetic beauty within)

May you be blessed with good friends.
May you learn to be a good friend to yourself.
May you be able to journey to that place in your soul where there is great love, warmth, feeling and forgiveness.
May this change you.
May it transfigure that which is negative, distant or cold in you.
May you be brought into the real passion, kinship and affinity of belonging.
May you treasure your friends.
May you be good to them and may you be there for them; may they bring you all the blessings, challenges, truth and light that you need for your journey.
May you never be isolated; but may you always be in the gentle nest of belonging with your anam cara.

The arms of love encompass you with your present, your past, your future, the arms of love gather you together. ~Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

Welcome, Briana! ....Wishing you both
a lifetime of Love and Happiness together!!!

What greater thing is there for two human souls that to feel that they are joined... to strengthen each other... to be at one with each other in silent unspeakable memories. ~ George Eliot
