World Cafe - an appreciative open space community

[Romy Shovelton]

Ditto to that one

Inspired Christine by how your words reflect the true inspiration and
possibility-space that OST, TWE and AI and their communities represent...

... And would SO SO love to be at the OSonOS by the sea. Sending love and
inspiration to you all.... And like Gariela, with you in spirit big time...

Dear Christine,
 
I am reading your lines ... I feel your joy and your conscious thankfulness
about all these wonderful experiences ... thank you so much for sharing ...
I am happy with you ... what a good start into the day!

And I am also so happy for you and for all, who will be together for the
OSonOS, Maine by the Sea. Oh, I really would love to see you, Harrison and
all the other wonderful colleagues there  ... I will be in spirit with you
very much this weekend!
 
Cheers,
Gabriela
