be sure to teach the karma trick *nods*
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourself, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous and talented? Who are you NOT to be?

the karma trick???
is that when all poi people are reincarnated as poi. and staff people as staves, cos if so...
poi people have to be chopped in half to ever live again.

righty ho then... looks like we shall be leaving adelaide.. 4thish and going via cunnunda to mt gambier then through the granpians to melbourne then back to mt gam via great ocean.. or maybe do great ocean before and granpians on the way back... ether way i think i should set the date for workshop on the 10th of december... (may be subject to change)... any location suggestions? and who may we burden with our presence of an eve around this time? I have a stress about saying price.. so i have decided that i will run it for a donation decided by people who participate... (a hug or a thank you definatly counts as a donation
)... so uhm let non hoppers know about it... get the word out... thinking that i would start late morning run a workshop till lunch then enjoy the afternoon playing with all you melbourne spinnish types then go to sunday spinning... water based
