Update and a Request for Photos

First of all, thank you for your eloquent expressions of gratitude and grief. Stirring, thought-provoking and connecting, all.

A date is still forthcoming for the memorial service to be held in California. There are several factors at play, including taking various calendars into consideration. You may be aware that Evolution of Mastery in the U.K. was underway last week, led by Richard Perry and Briggy Kiddle, and Seven Days of Creation is now beginning, led by Sue Oldham and Pascale Ascher. Additionally, finding fitting venues for the service and reception has been somewhat of a challenge.

I promise to email the details for the service and post them here as soon as they are known.

In the meantime, I have a request. If you have a particularly good or candid or “very Brad” picture of Brad (by himself or with others), we’d love a scanned copy of it, please, to add to the archives of this very important part of our history. If you will, please email your scanned files to Maggie Spooner at maggie.spooner@moretolife.org Thank you, Maggie and David, in advance for your work with these precious photos.

With great appreciation for you all! Peggy

This week I have had the extraordinary privilege to connect with many community leaders and TSes around the world. I have heard many of your stories of Brad or learnings from his teachings if you never met him. I have been deeply touched over and over, especially by the often stated commitment to live what he taught you.
Thank you Peggy for your updates on this blog. At times I have fretted to have a date so I can make a plan. Today a memory came to me of seeing Brad holding up his hand in front of me, his ring on his finger, face soft and eyes looking right into me. So vivid was the memory, it was as though he is with me today, continuing to bless and love.
So I chuckled at myself and my fretting - one more opportunity to notice and let go of my demands and be here, now. I can hear Brad's voice from one of the CDs, "one more opportunity, will you take it?" I can hear his words in my head "here, now."
I send much love to you Anne, Sara and all others involved in the venue search and planning for Brad's Memorial. Thank you.
With love
