Dear Friends,

This was me in April 2007 celebrating my 50th birthday and The World Celebration Qigong Day!!!

Today ...my hair is growing back and I actually look like I have a style...haven't even had my first haircut yet...picture coming soon!!!

Please join me today...Nov 25 Sunday @ 4pm for my continued celebration of healing at
InnerDance (spiritdance)
at Indigo Village in Encinitas

I feel great !!! I'm back to a full schedule of teaching and training. I've also just completed the final editing and proofing of my new website and new business look. Thank you to Pamela Wells for such beautiful work on my website...

This new look represents the me who has experienced healing on profound levels not only this past year...but...many times....it represents the me who has deeply loved friends who have gone before me and taught me the deepest level of love possible! They graciously passed the torch of Bodhisattva responsibility to share and to lift others through my teaching and life's experiences which show that even the most difficult experiences are the very ones that lead us to a more compassionate and loving life. Not necessarily a life without pain...most importantly...a life full of love.

This love is full of wisdom and the passion to lift others. This love is what I've been taught from Gladys ...my friend...our friend who died of cancer in 2003. There is a dedication page on my new website. This tribute honors 3 wonderful woman who were taken before we were able to truly appreciate their gifts. The wisdom these Women bestowed allows us to accept the gifts and to continue where they left off.

I would also like to thank Dr. Tsai, my acupuncturist and my friend. He drew the Chinese character as my logo for my website. This logo represents " union...gathering..etc" connecting us to " our inner house" . Dr. Tsai has treated me since Dr. Ni ( my first acupuncturist) (one of the 3 women honored on my tribute page) he has been a loving friend and a dedicated Dr. I am so grateful for his presence in my life!!!

I would also like to thank my husband Jim Autio. When he heard and felt and saw my description of my new vision ...he drew the first logo and helped me create "the innerhouse". Although, the logo became more simplified...his early influence 2 years ago ...was the catalyst of where we are now.

And to my friend Dan...
Where do I begin??? Dan is a true friend...a brother...I would never have survived many of the serious obstacles that came my way over 5 years ago. Dan was there with words of wisdom and support. I don't know how to say thank you. To also say thank you to his family who lovingly shared his energy with me so I would be able to have such a good friend. Dan also saw "the innerhouse " vision and with his own experiences with Chinese characters...helped me to find the logo as it is now.

And to Barbara...my client and friend who sat with me on the floor 2 years ago with a loving spirit and an artistic ear as we talked and created the beginning of " the innerhouse"..

There are so many people I would love to thank..I know I would run out of blog space...this will come in time...for now ...this specific appreciation is for the creation of "the innerhouse".

Thank you!!!

Love to all
Namaste,
Summer
