I had the privilege of teaching a group of ladies about Prayer Flags recently. They signed up for the class with only a description and no photos. They had no idea what the flags would look like. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I call that faith.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They all made fantastic flags!</div>

<span class="s1">Here are some photos of a series of prayer flags created for a church Peace Garden. Each flag carries with it a desire to see change in the world. Our country and the world are faced with so many critical issues that this was a way for me to release some of my heart ache ant to affirm my intention to take action. - Evonne Waldo</span></div>

<span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1454434250182_10786">I made this prayer flag for my friend, Tiffany, who is in recovery from breast cancer. At the time I made it, her prognosis was uncertain as her cancer was very difficult and aggressive and was not responding to treatment as the doctor's had hoped. Today, I'm happy to report that she is thankfully on the recovery side of it having gone through a whole host of treatments and surgeries. I'm so thankful that she is alive and well!!YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!</span></div>

<span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1454434250182_10786">Tiffany and I have been friends since middle school. She is a strong, gentle and kind soul. She is spiritual and is a yoga instructor. She eats and lives healthier than anyone I know. We went to our first concert together, she was my first friend to get married and have a baby, in college we took art classes together and ate lunch together in the covered patio overlooking the foundry. She travels yearly to India for instruction and yoga practice. I was so fortunate to meet up with her again this past summer for lunch at my cousin's house in New Orleans. It was so good to see her and hug her and wish her well for her fight and journey through this cancer. I was afraid she wasn't going to make it and I'm so thrilled and thankful that she did! I love you Tiffany!</span></div>

I wanted to share a magazine article with everyone at The Prayer Flag Project because I thought you might enjoy learning more about why Carrie Bloomston and her mother, Rhonda Greenberg, put together The Happy Flag Project in 2014. There is more to the story than just honoring His Holiness the Dali Lama. The story is in the current issue of <a href="http://issuu.com/amybutlerltd/docs/blossom3" target="_blank">Amy Butler's Blossom</a>. You can read the entire magazine online (for FREE) by <a href="http://issuu.com/amybutlerltd/docs/blossom3" target="_blank">clicking on this link</a>. Carrie's article is on page 143, however, in my opinion, the whole magazine is worth a read as it is filled with lots of beautiful eye candy, and wonderful articles. Enjoy!</div>

Grateful for a frosty Thanksgiving Morning. It melted very quickly, as I prepare the turkey, stuffing and goodies. I will be back on line soon, and hope that everyone is cozy and comfy with friends and family. Grateful for so much beauty around us. Grateful for life, friend, and good cheer. Love and hugs to all. <br /><div style="text-align: center;">

South Coast Hospice is a Non-Profit Organization that provides Palliative care and support to people living with Cancer, HIV/AIDS, and Motor Neuron Disease. Included in our programs is the care of children both infected and affected with Aids. (many Orphaned) The level of Tuberculosis (TB) and Multi drug resistant TB is extremely high in our region and we have a special team of dedicated carers who travel out everyday to treat these patients<br />.</div>
We work in a region of South Africa - KwaZulu Natal which has a Vast rural impoverished area, where the resources are low and yet the <i><b>SPIRIT </b></i>is abundant! Most of our work is done in the patient's homes and through our Mobile Clinic. We do have an In-Patient Unit - Kingfisher House, which offers respite to the patients and their families, pain and symptom Control as well as end of life care.</div>
<br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;" />
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Every year family and friends of patients that have passed away in the year are invited to attend a special candle lighting ceremony. which is organized by our Grief and Bereavement Volunteers. Each person attending has walked an arduous journey with their loved one, attending the memorial ceremony will not be easy to do and for most, it will take an act of courage.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Our Hospice is humbled by the countless acts of bravery and dedication that families have shown to support their loved ones. This year we will ask them to draw close to each other and they will see the the prayer flags flying out for them, like the weary travelers climbing out through a dark ravine, and up towards the the sun.<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
The messages on the flags will speak to the bereaved of the beauty of love, the very presence of faith and hope, of compassion and the sheer joy of life!<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
These flags have been made by the children on our program, patients, staff, volunteers, families and our hospice community in a visual and vibrant display of our love and support for each other.</div>

I then screen-printed a tree on each flag and followed that with hand embroidery of a few flowers before adding the hand-lettered "learning" patch. The top edge was turned over and hand stitched to hold a twig of red dogwood that I gathered at Sorrento Centre this spring. These are single-sided flags and all the edges are left ragged so that if they are left outside in the weather they will fade and fray away, but they will maintain their colour if kept inside, out of direct sunlight.</span><br style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.91499900817871px; text-align: left;" /><br style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.91499900817871px; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.91499900817871px; text-align: left;">They were a delight to make and I love that we chose the word learning for these flags, from their motto, </span><i style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.91499900817871px; text-align: left;">Sorrento Centre: A holy place of transformation for learning, healing and belonging.</i></div>

We are always happy to share the joy of prayer flag making and flying.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hopefully this article will encourage more people to make and share their prayers with the world.</div>

I saw prayer flags on pinterest and was immediately intrigued.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;">
I made this first one for my best friend. We have always used the verse Proverbs 27:17, iron sharpening iron. </div>
<div dir="ltr" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;">
She introduced me to her cousin, my now, new husband. Uniting us in another bond. Her maiden name is Crown and my married name is Crown. </div>
<div dir="ltr" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;">
I had to incorporate these 2 important links in my flag.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;">
We are now separated by 500 miles but my hope is, as my friend hangs her flag she will be reminded that I'm praying for her and love her dearly.</div>

Today I made 3 flags using hand dyed gauze, reclaimed quilt fabrics, book pages, and embroidery in honor of my friends and their beloveds. Join me in wishing Jen, Meg, and Susan the peace that passes all understanding during their difficult times.<br />
