In Memory of a Healer

GIL BOYNE, 1924-2010

While I never had the pleasure of meeting of meeting Gil Boyne I owe him a great debt. Gil Boyne educated, among the thousands, Tim Simmerman, who then taught Matthew Brownstein, who is now teaching me. I am very sad that I was not able to meet him before he passed but I will always be thankful for the great impact he has left behind. The following is his obituary from his website.

Gil Boyne died on 5th May 2010 at his home in London, after a brief illness. Having been admitted to hospital and been given a diagnosis a week previously, he told his wife Ann that he was very ready to go, that he wanted to pass away at home and he didn’t want to linger. He left hospital on 4th May, arrived home and passed away around 8.45 on Wednesday morning. His wife, his daughter and his grandchildren were with him. He was 85 years old.

OMG, I've gotten so behind on posting on here, like you don't even know. I've just gotten so behind with everything going on in life and class and such. I've got so many ideas for blog posts and information and I just haven't found the time to put it together. Hopefully I should be able to get started on that soon. I got this idea that going to do one blog posted day to catch up on the ideas and topics that I've been wanting to blog about but we'll see how that happens. I'm very happy to be back in school, it's been really strange to notice how much I missed it while I was gone, life just felt so incomplete and it's really unusual but really powerful too.which is not to say I didn't miss my UUCL friends, but my friends and classmates at FIH are so important to me as well as all of the important emotional change I've been going through.

So anyway, I wish everyone luck, good health, and the best and hopefully you should be hearing more from me soon! Love you all!

Happy Beltane!

Happy Beltane indeed everyone!
I had the good fortune this week to be able to convince my supervisor to let me work Wednesday instead of Thursday so I was able to travel up to the Ocala National Forest and surprise my good friends Theresa, Alysia, Tom, Tracie and Bowen. I could only stay for the day, and I'm very sad I couldn't do the whole event this year but I still have school this weekend and it's very important that I not miss anything. I wish everyone then a very happy Beltane and week and I'll see you all on May 9th if not sooner!
