Oh my…hard to believe that the holidays are just around the corner! I have so much to process from my trip to Myanmar aka Burma. Such a profound impact on me this time around. There’s so much I want to share with you…so much that just came together for me during this trip…
So over the next couple of weeks (with a couple of exceptions – albeit short ones!)… I’ll be a little silent…thinking…pondering…finalizing my thoughts for 2015…
For the moment…I’m super excited to be attending Paul Winter’s Winter Solstice event tonight at New York’s greatest cathedral…the Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine….and according to Paul…The Sun Gong has been rigged from the hundred-foot vault; the stages and the lighting trusses are up; the Solstice Tree is adorned with its hundreds of gongs, bells and chimes. And Danny Rivera has arrived from Puerto Rico to thrill us with his soulful and sunny voice. Not to forget…Theresa Thomason the great gospel singer of all time…love her.
The theme for the winter solstice is renewal...which is why I choose the winter solstice as my New Year’s celebration…a turning point at year’s end…an opportunity to reflect on the year that has passed, a time for new beginnings…
So here’s to new beginnings…
to coming together…
with so much gratitude…
If you’re receiving this update and do not see the showcased image I’ve chosen…please just head on over to the blog to see…this image says so much about my time in Myanmar…and a preview of what’s to come…
Wishing you a wonderful holiday!

I am so ready to hear and see everything you can possibly share with us, Robin. It already feels inspiring! Having visited the Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine with you a year ago, I can just imagine what the event tonight will be like. I’ll be thinking of you…..

We are so happy that you are back safe and sound and with loads of pictures.
‘Enjoy life’…isn’t that the most important thing to do. I know it is not always easy to enjoy it all. But try to ‘generally speaking about being happy and enjoy!!
We will wait for the post you are going to post.
Enjoy your Paul Winter’s event, take it all in, and the most of things, ENJOY…..

Enjoying and embracing life with all its ups and downs seems to be a good motto for the next year.
Beautiful image and beautiful light ! Am so curious to see more pictures and impressions of your trip!
Donna says
Robin, Your photograph for today has so many layers of significance and interpretation. When we “see” a photo like this we act on instinct, pressing the shutter. It is often only after the picture is taken that we begin to see why the scene spoke to us, called out to be recorded. This is just such a picture! I can’t wait to learn alongside you in this new year. You have already inspired me. Just yesterday I approached a stranger, a kind-hearted one, and asked her to share her story and please permit me to take her picture. My confidence came directly from you – inspired by several of your recent posts – where you did much the same. I can’t wait to see what’s next for you!
Lisa says
Wow Donna, good for you!
Robin is such an inspiration and touches all of our lives so much.
Your post made me smile and although I don’t know you, I felt so proud and happy that you took a leap of faith.
“Our” Robin, or as I like to call us, “Team Robin”, sure are blessed to have her in our lives, all in some capacity.
Good luck with your endeavors and grab that goden ring!

I can imagine that it will take a bit of time to let all that you’ve experienced soak in and that’s good. For now there is this holiday and the next one to enjoy with family … bright tidings, dear girl.
