Over the past seven years I have traveled to places only before imagined, studied a variety of personal interest and professionally related subjects, gained thirty pounds then lost twenty, lost the companionship of one amazing dog and had another enter into my life... and much more. I cannot begin to articulate how much this time with you means to me, and so will rely on an excerpt of writing from 2004 which is no less true today than it was then...

A heartfelt Thank You for walking into my life - in all of your forms and guises. Stretching boundaries, learning, exploring, loving, healing… You allow me to be me as I am, as I want to be. You honor me in allowing me to witness and experience YOU as you are, with your dreams and desires...
YOU
With your pains and your fears
YOU
Stripped of all worldly associations
Naked body and soul
Those eyes are windows and I can only look away when I can no longer keep my own eyes open, when I become lost in myself…
It is the little girl in me sees those invisible wounds, who kisses those scars. The teen who giggles when those moments of uncertainty step in. The woman who feeds of your heat and your pleasure. The Goddess who worships your God-essence. I feel Love which goes beyond looks and age and consequence, beyond you and me, always and forever
Universal
Unteathered
It is love which nourishes and which sets me free,
And I will forever thank you for allowing me this space, this life, this opportunity, these experiences.
I am affected deeply each time we meet. Your questions teach me. Your healing heals me. Your light illuminates tangled pathways on my journey. Your strength empowers and awes me. I hum with the vibration of our Oneness. It’s a game I enjoy playing, it's a hobby which has become my livlihood, it's a gift I pray to keep giving...

2010 will be a year of intense travel and studies resulting in limited time to meet new friends, as you might surmise from the recent rate changes reflecting this reality on my site. New friends are always welcome to inquire about meeting though thank you for understanding that it may take some extra time to coordinate calendars. I have created an Exceptional Friends Program as a personal "Thank You!" to those friends who have known me over time. If we have not been in recent contact please do not hesitate to ask me for details.

I hope to adore you soon!
Xoxo,
Sola

Glad you enjoyed your travels and had a safe trip! C.

Welcome home, beautiful, and best to you, always.

As much as I wanted to stay longer, I'm happy to be home.
: )

MrSD, you give the elephant too much credit.  He would kiss anyone who was in trunks reach... and, ugh!  I've never met a more slobbery kisser!
: O

Ah, but I actually was going to say something a bit more, uh, organic about the elephants' intentions...which you pretty much confirmed.

So I'll just give him credit for good taste.

Glad to see you back home safe and sound. You're a special lady.

"Elephants are symbols of might and memory, harmony and patience, power and compassion."  Sort of like Sola
