When you wish upon a star

I remember that song from childhood, and I was always wishing on stars—for everything from a puppy to french fries for dinner. Remove the romanticism, and what it means is, "ask and it will come."

Today I once again had proof of how well this works. I opened my front door to go to San Francisco, and there was a package on the porch—a pretty large package, containing a new portable massage table for the Wellspring Women's Center!

Many thanks to the generous person who read about this wish in my last post. She prefers to be anonymous, but I wanted everyone to know that my wish was fulfilled faster than I could have imagined. I've seen so many instances of manifestation of this sort, and the people at Wellspring operate on the same principle.

I am hugely grateful for this gift, as well as her donation of soaps, shampoos and more for the hygiene bags Wellspring hands out to its clients, Sacramento women who are homeless. I'll be using the table for a new clinic I'm doing on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday mornings of each month, offering self-care tips and bodywork sessions.

If you'd like to support the caring work of Wellspring, please check them out—the link is right up there above the picture. They can use everything from hygiene supplies and diapers, to art supplies and fabric, as well as supplies for their children's corner. When they have classes or are providing services like counseling and chiropractic and body care, the children have a safe supervised play area with toys, books and more.

And now, they'll have a comfortable table to relax on for a few minutes of caring touch, something that's a rare thing in the life of someone without a home. Thank you for making this happen!
