My brother Mark drowned in the BWCA in 1977 and I have been up to the North Shore at least once a year since then.

It has become a very spiritual home for me filled with adventures, inner and outer discoveries, and profound insights that have shaped my life.

In 1978 when I first went up there, I was fortunate to go with a circle of women and I had no idea, absolutely none, that I would eventually be leading circles of women on the shore!

Now for the 10th time, I'm doing it again and it never gets old. I'm different, The women are all different, the experience is different, even the Lake is different each time, and it's all re-energizing because of those differences.

Even if you have been to the Great Lake many times, you have never been there with these particular women, at these specific stops, with the specific activities we do.

If you have never been up the North Shore of Superior, Now is the time to say YES!

Come with us. I feel confident you will feel forever grateful you did.

It has been 17 months.
On March 13, 2025, I fainted and fell ... hard. Landed on the kitchen table, the chair, and then on the floor. I had a nasty cold and I was light headed and hadn't had enough to eat.
I ended up with a concussion and a severely smashed lower jaw.
After 4 surgeries ... the most miraculous one being just a year ago when they removed the fibula bone from my leg, along with the muscle, tissue, veins, arteries, and nerves around it and replaced my lower jaw bone with all that!! Truly, a hard-to-believe medical scenario!
Thanks to my 'beyond comprehension' skilled and compassionate surgeons and my own determination to recover, I have.
And it is because of the continuous loving support of my family and friends, as well as wholistic care complimenting the western miracles, that I can now say with deep gratitude that life is again nearly 'normal'. The dentristy reconstruction is done and my leg is in the very final stages of being healed. I can walk, talk, and eat pizza! It's all good!!

My deepest authentic every day feeling is one of gratitude. I'm alive and breathing, aware of my blessings, and awake to the truth that my body is a miracle of intelligence that has the wisdom and know-how to heal without me telling it what to do! Truly a transformational experience with HUGE blessings!

I'm posting all this now because I want my FB friends to know that I will be back on fb once in a while to stay in touch and mostly to let you know that Serendipity Circles is still a vibrant community!
I've been gathering women throughout this whole experience and their support has been a huge part of my healing journey.

I've also been in this in-between place physically because of my broken jaw surgeries and it has allowed me time and space for emotional and spiritual questioning.
What am I being called to do now?
Have I fully blossomed in this role as facilitator of Circles?
Do I choose to let go of something I'm really good at and love to do?
Do I continue to do what I've been doing for the last 25+ years?

The answer after deep reflection was YES continue to gather women in safe and sacred circles, but be open to evolving and expanding!??!!
Hmmmm ... what does that mean?

Like many other situations in my past when I chose to leave what I loved doing, the idea of letting go of Circles was not the same feeling of relief and gratitude. I do not feel ready to be done.

So since you asked, said the Universe, I will offer you the opportunity to become a 501c3 and offer outreach Circles & Programs alongside your own retreats and Circles.
Voila!
Within days, a generous donor appeared and gave us a substantial contribution and the seed was planted. It all took less than 2 months from idea to reality!!

So now we have begun. The process of evolving and expanding got underway July 1.

I will update you on all the happenings very soon and if you are yearning to gather with women who honor a woman's heart and soul come gather with us. It could be a transformational moment in your life…. without the physical pain!
