Meet Us at the Florida Pagan Gathering

Just a reminder to all of our friends in Florida– Shannon, Aislinn, and I will be attending the Florida Pagan Gathering at Camp Ocala for Beltaine 2008!  We’ll be there laaaaate Thursday, May 1st (after Shannon’s college classes) and leaving early Sunday, May 4th (to get Shannon back in time for her finals), but look forward to having lots of fun and visiting with friends in-between.

Last time we were there (Samhain 2006), my dad was dying and it was a difficult emotional time in many ways, with me worried much of the time that we’d have to leave  for the hospital.  I leaned on Aislinn heavily, energetically-speaking, and made some wonderful new friends whose words I have never forgotten. This time, I’m looking forward to a “lighter” trip. 

We’re not there to teach or sell this year–just going for some well-deserved fun and down-time.  

I finally get to meet Christopher Penczak after so many great online conversations.  Christopher is one of those people who can say exactly the right thing I need to hear, even when he doesn’t realize it.   And it’s been way too long since we’ve seen Maggie Shayne (Witch Moon Rising) and Raven and Stephanie Grimassi.
