Welcome

Ninepatch is the monthly publication of a non-profit organization by the same name. In the pages of this Ninepatch magazine, women – and the men who support them – share their spiritual journeys and life experiences through letters, essays, poetry, book reviews and more. Ninepatch offers a forum where contributors can be heard and enjoy an atmosphere of sharing and acceptance. Such sharing is vital in helping everyone find their place in an eternal spiritual circle where all know and are known.

GLIMPSE: 

  Hello Ninepatch e- readers!

 
 Thanks to each of you who advised me you could read the zipped .pdf file I sent last month.   When choosing changes, information is a huge help.
 
If you cannot open the attached format, please tell me. We are a small group. I don’t want to lose anyone in my attempts to update. I can send you the form I used to make the digital copy — perhaps a paper copy!
 
Meanwhile, HAPPY 2012! For some reason I find even numbered years “more friendly.” Maybe it’s because I was born in an even numbered year. Of perhaps I like the more symmetrical look of 2012. Hard to say. It’s just good to have glad vibes about the date since I write it every day.
 
I don’t really feel “new” in the “new year.”  However, the calendar is a one measure of my life. Mostly, it tracks my worldly life.  I do notice my subtle feelings of spiritual connectedness may wax and wane with the moon or seasons.  For example, now that the year is adding daylight, I usually feel “brighter.” 
 
I didn’t make a resolution this year, but I looked back on my life and thought about my tendencies. I also and set a goal or two for the next nine months or so. (It’s something.)
 
 
I can still collecting boat images from readers’ the Self-Discovery game results. And, I am always eager to read thought on the Monthly Question. It’s all good.
 
In this month’s opening story,  I relate a memory and what I learned while making Christmas cookies last month.
 
Blessings***
