Greetings to dear friends October 2013

Couldn't help but share the news with you!

Last month I went out by kayak and spent the day alone under a huge eagle nest on a small island near our bay. I swam and dreamed and swam some more. It is the first time in years I have been truly alone. I was feeling so deeply thankful for all the joy and bounty that I have been given.

I got home to a message that Oprah is quoting from my book, IN LOVE WITH THE MYSTERY, in her monthly column in 'O' magazine's November issue. She calls it "What I Know for Sure." She bought the book from our friends, Jack and Rosie Herschorn. Their store, The Sacred Space, is the only store in the whole of the USA that Oprah could have found the book. It is, in fact, the only store that carried it. What a gift.

This is the quote Oprah said is one of her favorite passages:
"Let the power come. Let ecstasy erupt. Allow your heart to expand and overflow with adoration for this magnificent creation and for the love, wisdom and power that birthed it all. Rapture is needed now - rapture, reverence and grace."

And that is exactly how I was feeling all through my day in the sun, as I kayaked back to the house and when I received the messages. Amazing.

I then discovered that I had received an email from Spain wanting to publish my book in Spanish. AND that Ingrams Publishing (Largest in the world) is wanting to distribute the book world wide.

Then, if that was not enough, the Trust for Sustainable Forestry, which has been such an important part of my life for the last decade, was chosen out of thousands of entries to receive a $10,000/month grant of free google adds to help us to get our vision out into the world.

All in one day!!!!!!!! I think I will go away for the day more often. As you can imagine, I am filled with gratitude and I wanted to share with you the wonderful blessings that have come my way.

My hope is that this note finds you all receiving many blessings as well.

Ann

Oprah's column, What I Know for Sure was inspired by In Love with the Mystery. She says, “I am beguiled by the mystery of life. As a matter of fact, on my nightstand I keep a book called In Love with the Mystery, written by Ann Mortifee. It’s full of tranquil photographs and bite-size reminders of the preciousness of the wondrous journey we’re all on.” Here's the full article from the November issue of O Magazine:
