Get 'er done!

We did it! We got 'er done! as one of my great gal cousins stated proudly.
We had been planning this for a year and on Saturday night, we walked the fire! We got together around noon and shared a lovely lunch. (Everyone brought a dish and we chose some for lunch and kept the others for supper.) Anyway, we laughed and cried and had a great time until our Firewalk gal, Jacqueline McDonald and her wonderful fire keeper friend, Pat, showed up. We shared supper and then started the workshop. We then built the fire, did more writing and ventured outside to walk the fire. Boy, was it exhilarating!! Best of all, we all did it!
For those of you who don't know what this is, I will attempt to explain as best as I can. Firewalking is an ancient practice for growth and enlightenment. During a workshop you willl do some journalling and exploring your issues. The purpose of the fire is to burn away all of that so that you can start and move forward renewed. Meanwhile, Jackie and Pat rake out the fire leaving a bed of coals, they use a rake and a shovel to break up the wood into coals. The bed can be anywhere from 8 ft long to about 15 ft. When ready you walk over the coals. It is very empowering! You can really conquer fears with this. By the end of the evening, some were dancing on the coals! I never felt heat on my feet any of the 8 or so time that I crossed. Amazing! If you can walk the fire..... We joked about taking on water next. I will be posting a photo soon.
Anyone interested in orbs, will be interested in the photo that I am going to post when I receive it. There were so many orbs, it looked like it was raining. I will explain orbs when I post the photo.
