This has been a pivotal and most extraordinary year of loving, vibrant connections all around. Turning 50 this year has prompted me to take a look back and begin to really see the bigger picture. And just reflecting on the past 12 months, look at this luscious and yummy web I have been honored to experience and enjoy with all of you! This photo captures one moment of the Rainbow Dance. It was taken during Thanksgiving with my entire family in Pennsylvania. Here, I was called to invoke the spirit of the American Indian. I responded.

My deepest thanks and blessings go out to you. In the words of Caryn Starr-Gates: "Go forth and be vibrant!" May your new year and life be filled with Love and Light. Yours in service, Verena, a.k.a. Laughing Eagle Seer

Top Twenty Highlights From My Vibrant and Full Spectrum Life and Business for 2007:  I have thoroughly loved:

1.    Participating in and promoting many numerous local community/school events, and swim meets year round with my loving, brilliant, and supportive husband, Kurt, and our Indigo Child who happens to be six years old technically, but who clearly operates from a much higher plane. They are both my teachers and my muses. I am so blessed!

2.    Playing, working, stretching, and creating magic with my Dear amd amazing family, friends, clients, peers, (and various combinations) and my inspired  L.O.V.E. coach, Mahalane Louis (www.qkabbalah.com), with whom my family and I started the year by participating in her "Maha's New Year's QKleanse!" in Austin, TX.

3.    Co-creating and coordinating the Small Group Ministry at the Central Unitarian Church, and facilitating a monthly Covenant Circle in my home.

20.    Turning 50 on November 8th and celebrating my status as a "woman of a certain age" by having a Croning Ceremony at my home on November 10th in Hackensack. Soul Dancer, Anne Wennhold of Leonia, a Shamanic Practitioner (www.annewennhold.com), helped create and officiate the ceremony. Janet Spittler and Emma Hotar had created a magnificent Flower Crown using fresh flowers and glittery pipe cleaners! My daughter received a rainbow butterfly sling for future generations. Upon completion of the Croning ceremony, Soul Dancer presented "Laughing Eagle Seer" to the group of 45+ loving family and friends who were in attendance. This was followed by lots of cheers, exquisite gifts, and sharing a lovely old-fashioned "potluck". The more vocal well-wishers joined in doing karaoke before the evening ended. What a blessed, moving time!

As I Walk in Beauty

In beauty, may I walk.
All day long, may I walk.
Through the returning seasons,
may I walk.
Beauty will I possess again.
Beautiful birds.
Beautiful joyful birds.
On the trail marked with pollen,
may I walk.
With grasshoppers about my feet,
may I walk.
With dew about my feet, may I walk.   
With beauty, may I walk.
With beauty before me, may I walk.
With beauty behind me, may I walk.
With beauty above me, may I walk.
With beauty all around me, may I walk.
In old age, wandering on a trail of beauty, lively, may I walk.
In old age, wandering on a trail of beauty, living again, may I walk.
If it is finished in beauty.
It is finished in beauty.
It is finished in beauty.

Note: This is commonly referred to as the Navajo Prayer. Per Rev. Mahalene Louis (www.soulvision.com), "Before being a Navajo Prayer, it is and has been a Quabbalistic prayer. The Tree of Life, which I am rewriting as the Tree of Love is centered around beauty. At the center of this framework is the Sphere of beauty that aligns the vertical and horizontal axis into beauty. Beauty is part of many prayers."
