MY GIRLS! 

Both of our lovely daughters have summer birthdays. They are the light of my life. My JOURNEY is centered in their presence, joy, and laughter in Tom's and my lives and in the world they serve passionately and purposefully in their own families and in the world through their talents and gifts and expertise. 

In JOURNEY GIRL, I tell of the instant connection I made with my birthmother passed, whose spirit visited me in my hospital room and handed her her first granddaughter over to her so we could rejoice together. And in my second daughter's baby book for her daughter, I showed my birthmother how she was correctly replaced in our maternal family geneology.

  Chapter TWELVE  

  BEADS AND BLESSINGS 

"God comes to us disguised as our lives."  Paula D'Arcy

Saying the family rosary was a highly emphasized practice by Catholic faith leaders from the 1940s World War II era through the 1960s. It still remains a prayer practice dedicated to Mary, Queen of Peace, and prayers for world peace and family healings still flow freely with deep belief from its devoted practitioners. It is the center of my husband's daily prayer practice. 

Praying our intentions and word prayers sends both physical and spiritual into the elements of earth, wind, water, and fire. With the prayers of the rosary you may activate the power and possibility to create changes for good in troubling circumstances.

Use this affirmation as your fingers slide along the beads:

"My life is filled with good things. My life is filled with God."

"Time provides us with the opportunities for reflection, for gathering up the pieces of our lives, for weaving them together into a sacred whole." 

Jeanne Brooks Carritt 

In my writing of JOURNEY GIRL, I kept finding my story in the seeds of Silence.

 In my book, I give the reader a pleasurable pause from the story line by beginning each chapter on an "Island of Silence", offering suggestions for accessing nurturing silence, even in a busy, distracted way of life.

The power of undeniable family connection drives my story forward in the compelling storytelling of a mission of search for truth.

YES, TIME, and "time-outs"  in moments of silence, and then reflections set at the conclusion of each chapter weave the pieces of the Divine Appointment of my birth and my mother's death into the grace and understanding of 

the Miracle of me. 

(c) 1998 Henryka Ternier 

The "Ave Maria" project was a promise made and kept to Our Lady by a grieving mother, sho entrusted her son's soul to Our Blessed Mother. His name was Alan. 1974-1987. 

It is dedicated to those who may not know the beauty and power of the Holy Rosary. 

Her wall poster contains the words to the prayers of the Holy Rosary in several languages.

MY SUMMER OF LOVE 

"There is no need to travel a great distance to touch the Kingdom of God, because it is not located in space or time. The Kingdom of God is in your heart. It is in every cell of your physical body.   Thich Nhat Hanh

Dear One, I am here for you. 

From Chapter 10, JOURNEY GIRL: 

The suffering that we devise so many ways to avoid begins in the body. It may be an emotional let-down; it could be physical pain; it is likely to be a physical non-acceptance of our appearance. These are all very common ways of suffering. They are all part of the human condition. 

"Dear One," we say. "What are we to do now?"

We start by recognizing that, indeed, we are a "dear One." 

Summer Celebration of a 

57 year love still blooming. 

With love and gratitude for the life we have lived together. Tom and I now once again live in the place our married life began 57 years ago on June 19, 1965. 

"Wherever you're going, I'm going your way..." lyrics from our song, Moon River, proved to be prophetic for us as I and my "huckleberry friend made it around through numerous moves and just kept creating of life quilt.    

All kinds of books, unwritten, but worthy took place during those times, and now I'm getting closer and closer to answering my big life question.....

"I wonder how this all turns out!"
