New this Issue:

This February/March issue of Inner Tapestry is "Elder Wisdom," a theme that has accompanied me through a surprising journey these past two months. Starting with my search for cover artwork, this issue has been an ongoing journey of correspondence with the very gifted English artist Andrew Mitchell, connecting countries and lives, and the creation of a special article, which we wrote on pages 6 and 7. I truly hope you enjoy the sharing of our journey with you.

This issue also brought changes for us. Kevin who had been working with us has relocated to New Hampshire to help support his mom, and we will all miss him. Our love and wishes for a gentle move and hopes for exciting new adventures.

I am grateful to those who sent in articles. It seems that for many, our elder wisdom is found in the passing of those deeply loved in our lives. This passing seems to create an opportunity for an integration of feelings leading to a new awareness of life.

Thank you all for sharing those times with us.

This issue is a wonderful foundation for our April/May issue's theme of "Heart Stories" and I look forward to the continuing contributions from everyone.

I would also like to thank those who have been contributing articles to the journal for their patience in waiting for publication. We have decided to expand the journal next issue by another eight pages! This was made possible by all of the support from our new advertisers and those who have continued to support Inner Tapestry during the past years... Again, thank you so much for your support of the journal and your commitment to the community.

Just a reminder that the Northampton, MA Expo will be coming up March 8th and 9th, the Portland, ME Expo will be April 5th and 6th and the Portsmouth, NH Expo will be April 26th and 27th. There are also two more events in the future: The Women's Health Initiative on May 17th, look for more information next issue, and in Nashua, NH the New England Holistic Practitioners and Energy Healers Convention 2008 at the Holiday Inn on July 12th and 13th. All of these events are great opportunities for practitioners to support each other and the community and for our community to be able to meet and get to know the talented and varied practitioners that are available to them.

As we have settled into our new location and with the upcoming expansion of the journal we look forward to the exciting things to come in 2008. We are happy and grateful that all of you are with us sharing our life's journey.
