Patricia sent the following out to the WSR (Women's Spirit Retreat) mailing list and asked me to forward to OE and Dialogue: ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Patricia Henschen <phenschen@verizon.net> Date: Wed, Dec 4, 2019, 8:55 PM Subject: Prayers & Healing for Shirley Henschen Dear Women of the WSR: As some of you know, our mom, Shirley Henschen, has been undergoing treatment for cancer since January of 2018. Last week, she began her third regimen of chemo. This coming Saturday is her birthday. The Henschen family invites you to participate in a time of prayer and healing for her, to increase her strength & resiliency and the efficacy of the chemo. So that as many people can participate as easily possible, I suggest setting aside a few minutes at noon in your time zone to send healing thoughts and prayers to Shirley. If you are a healer (Healing Touch, Reiki, etc.), please use your gifts to uplift Shirley and restore her well-being to the greatest extent possible. If noon is not a feasible time, please select whatever time is available to you. Shirley was one of the founders of the WSR South, and when she and my dad moved to Arizona in 1996, she continued the tradition of semi-annual retreats for amazing women by founding the WSR West. Kindly share this with the prayer warriors and healers you know in your network. I know without a shadow of a doubt that all of the love and positive intentions of so many good people will help her immeasurably. Those of you who know Shirley know that she is the epitome of goodness and kindness; she has helped many, and she really needs our help now. God bless you all. Blessings and peace, Patricia Henschen
