Here at Queenswood, we've now been writing on the Queenswood blog for just over two months. We love this new way to communicate with the whole wide Queenswood community. In fact, the gift of the Internet means that we're sharing these posts with the entire world. I especially appreciate all of the feedback that many of our readers have offered me over these past two months. My hope is that as the new Queenswood website continues to grow and expand, it will become a living community in itself - an outgrowth of the Queenswood at 2494 Arbutus Rd. in Victoria, BC.
In this way, I would love to encourage others -- volunteers, guests, sabbatical residents, or anyone for whom Queenswood is special -- to contribute to this blog. Queenswood staff will continue to add posts regularly, but the staff are only a small part of Queenswood, and this blog is for the whole community. Here are some ideas of what some people might like to write about:
- a special experience you had at Queenswood -- on a retreat, at an evening series, during a yoga class, while receiving Reiki, while using the therapeutic pool, etc.
- poems, prayers, meditations
- a special social justice concern that you share with Queenswood
- what it's like to be a volunteer at Queenswood
- why Queenswood is important to you
- a message of gratitude to donors that fund the bursary program
The list is endless. But what links all of these ideas together is Queenwood. So if you would like to contribute to the Queenswood blog, please let me know. Just send me a short email describing what you would like to write about, then I will get back to you quickly, and you can get typing! And when you're ready to put it online, you can email it to me (along with photos if you like), and I'll post it for you.
Looking forward to all of the wonderful stories this blog will host,
