Kissing Juno Goodbye! (The Final Photos)

It all culminates in a sweet kind of solvency, closure, and then ultimate continuance...
Towards more love, more creation, more questions and relationship-building...

What follows are the final images from 1188 Juno days: the final party and fire, the move, and signing the papers to hand over the keys! Yes! Onward! Mad love! Woohoo!


Saturday's Final Soire: the Early Crew


Pops holds down the "alter" or "shrine space" as it gets built...


I love circles of friends...


Matt thinks he will convert my father back to the Democratic party...ha-larious!


The final shrine for Juno: including Kenyan Wedding candles; South African Art; The Buddha/ Mary/ Jesus/ Faith markers; Spiral embryo mug and champagne cork; Medicine Wheel stone, and fire kindling from snow-day transformations...

North High Colleague, Dear Friend, and Mom-to-be: Julie!

My love and appreciation for ritual possibly was born here: With April, Colleen, and Matt

Former student, dear friend, daughter-woman: Joy Chaney and my own mom, Beth.


Fire on fire


Zac, Jody and Michael stand back...


Toasting


Talking


Memories, tales, more talking



I love this shot...how things blur but are still illuminated...(not unlike my whole life)





Cheers!


I am so happy!


Former house-mate, key friend in faith and this journey: Zac Willette


Ms. Ann, the anointing one...





New Loves: Em and JP!


Sunday, post-mass the moving begins with my new pastor, Fr. Jules, from the Church of St. Philips, coming to collect the green leather couch!


John Michaels and Trevon Money: Goofballs!


Let the heavy lifting begin!





Wooho0! Church People permeate all parts of this journey.
Here: Melissa, Fr. Jules, Trevon, Mary Michaels


Monday and the Moving van arrives


Such a glorious motley crew!


JP arrives with the food!


Em serving things up..


We have worked for 3 hours moving by this time and are HUNGRY!




Willette and B'Mo are professional organizers!


Pretty much my entire life is in here...

Cleaning essentials: includes bottles of wine?!


God, I love these people!


To my new neighborhood!



"Be the bridge, be the water..."


With Second shift mover and my new neighbor: Kirsten Jamsen!


We are packed in, but all is good!


Again, where would I be without my CSP crew?


The blessed new owners of Juno!

I have a feeling this payoff will come in many forms...

LOVE!
