Dear Reader,
We have been extremely moved by your generosity, your warmth, your advice, your encouragement. It is wonderful to be shown in such an emphatic way that you appreciate us just as much as we appreciate you. Yes, after such a big sign, we will certainly carry on, whatever difficulties come our way. Your words of support have strengthened our quaking knees and calmed our doubting minds. Our belief in what we are doing has been reaffirmed. We needed that! Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts.
In our last letter we didn’t have the space to tell you about our two new members of staff: Karena Cope and Louisa Mills. Well, one look at those cheerful, smiling faces says it all! Karena is now arranging for a Cygnus stand to be present at a series of mind/body/spirit events organised by all sorts of groups throughout the country. So you’ll be able to see us in person more often.
Louisa is now helping with the mammoth task of producing this magazine. That means we’ll be able to send it to you more frequently.
So we’re full of hope for the future. The frost has purified our dark soil, leaving us ready for new growth. In the words of Clare Cameron, shown on this month’s front cover, ‘It is a morning in early Spring, and the sun is rising......’
With all our love, Geoff, Ann, Jackie, Derek, Martyn, Jackie M, Sue Samantha, Regina, Jon, Sam, Emrys, Bertel, Sandra, Belinda, Pat, Kate, Karena and Louisa.
