Dear LaVonne and List friends, Great to hear about Thanksgiving from some and that you, LaVonne have had a celebration here in Melbourne. I recall Thanksgiving in Canada when I lived there in the early 70s. We had a spread for 16 people and the food all came from the garden including a 53 lb. pumpkin stuffed to the gills with tasty stuff and washed down with home made wine - on the east side of Vancouver Island. What a special event that was. We're planning Thanksgiving for next March/April which is the wrong date but right season. :-)
How much I relished the OSonOSinOZ and was delighted to have visitors enjoy the environs that I enjoy myself so much. It was with some sadness and sense of incompleteness that I left before the end. Greetings to my friends long-time and new. I have a question: someone at OSonOSinOZ talked about a pyramid shaped building that was designed to nurture the Open Space organisation. I have no recollection of the actual time or place but the idea has stayed and I'd like to know more - perhaps a web address? Kindest regards, Ros.

I am thankful that today (Sunday) I had a thanksgiving dinner with a number of good friends in the city of Melbourne. Well, we called it thanksgiving and gathered over an abundant table of food (including turkey and cranberries), good conversation, wine and laughter. We paused to notice something we were thankful for. It was a hot day and we ate too much. Oh well, that's thanksgiving for you. I have just attended OSonOSin Oz and really got "it" in my life. It has only been a few weeks and even though I have known about OS and the principals for many years I had not really practiced them on a daily basis in my life until now. So I have much to be thankful for which includes all of you who are holding "the space open" for the practice of peace to break out all over the world and for me to finally get "it". My heart aches to read about Bethlehem. I grew up hearing about Bethlehem in the bible stories and singing "Oh little town of Bethlehem" at Christmas, it is so hard to imagine what is happening there now. So thank you all for your calling to Open Space. LaVonne Boyd, Business Coach and Public Speaking Igniting Your Emerging Potential with Business Coaching.
