Traci I have my candle ready
Traci I have my candle ready for 7pm wed Nite. This is a wonderful idea. I finished rads today. I'm baked and pooped but hope to live each day to the fullest. This candle will remind me to keep on keeping on.
Some of you in the Tampa area and Arizona may have read about a plane crash which took an entire family of 4 last Friday. Their piper crashed into a school building in a small town in Arizona and the entire family, mom, dad, and 2 daughters ages 16 and 6 perished. We knew the family and found out about it in the newspaper this morning. As I celebrated the completion of my treatment today, I read this terrible news and it confirmed even more the importance of living life to the fullest each and every day. My candle will burn brightly in celebration of life.0 -

It's almost time, here in AZ. I dedicate my candle to the brave, the scared, the hopeful, the desolate, the struggling, the REAL WOMEN, on this site and all around the world who are dealing with this disease.
Like Ayse said, I wish that for one day all those afflicted with breast cancer were lit up like a light bulb, or that we would all wear white, to show the world just how many women (and their families) are fighting the fight. Should we march in a parade on the mall in Washington, D.C. to bring attention to the matter? That has worked for Gays!
Here's to all of us! From our candles and lips to God's eyes and ears....

Sage...chenheart said:That is sooo beautiful ,
That is sooo beautiful , Rague~ what a meaningful ceremony.
A loving tribute, indeed.
I must say that I also appreciate the sage and tobacco~ Reggie sages me before each Drs appointment; and we toss tobacco into either a fire or let it fly with our hopes, prayers and dreams over the ocean waves. It is powerful, isn't it?
In solidarity with you on Wednesday night!
Hugs,
Chen♥
Before re-visiting this thread tonight, I had already decided to use a brand new candle - scent: Summer Sage - tomorrow evening, Wednesday, @ 7:00pm. I thought it would be perfect; now, I know it will be.0 -

I'm so honored and humbled by all the beautiful ways you're all making this little ritual your own, building it with pieces of your own hearts.
In my faith tradition, we light a flame inside a chalice at the beginning of every worship service and church gathering, to mark our time together as sacred time. I have a small chalice of my own on my mantle which I rarely light -- but lighting our candles tomorrow evening will definitely be sacred time, so I'll light my chalice in honor of all of you and our walk together through all that life brings.

Count me in as well. I will be lighting my Gardenia scented (my favorite) candle way out here in Bend, Oregon. I know we will brighten our world with this great idea.
"This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine." Count me in as well as my daughter, Rachel, my mom, Betty, and my sister, Brenda. That's four more of us for the "LIGHTS OF HOPE". We'll be in Evansville, IN.0 -

I am really looking forward to the kinship tomorrow night, lighting my candle, praying, knowing that so many of you will be doing the same.

Traci
This is what I will be singing when I light my candle. My love for all on this site.
I'll be your candle on the water
My love for you will always burn
I know you're lost and drifting
But the clouds are lifting
Don't give up you'll have somewhere to turn
I'll be your candle on the water
'Till ev'ry wave is warm and bright
My soul is there beside you
Let this candle guide you
Soon you'll see a golden stream of light
A cold and friendless tide has found you
Don't let the stormy darkness pull you down
I'll paint a ray of hope around you
Circling in the air
Lighted by a prayer
I'll be your candle on the water
This flame inside of me will grow
Keep holding on you'll make it
Here's my hand so take it
Look for me reaching out to show
As sure as rivers flow
I'll never let you go
I'll never let you go
I'll never let you go...
And Traci, are you a UU?
