(by Becky) One of my desires in being in Ireland was to connect with the Faye Folks, the Fairy Realm. This happened in abundance one moment when we found the most enchanting & magical place I have ever seen, in Glengarriff, Ireland. It appeared off the main path on the way to the Ferry headed over to Garnish Island, we never made it any farther. We were completely captivated. You could only see a short distance up the path which seemed to call for your entrance. Once around the first bend the rest of it revealed itself, completely locked in with branches overhead & just enough room to walk. The girls were snapping pictures & exploring while I sat on a rock wall just at the entrance. In that moment, I began rocking and humming ... read more

This ancient port-town had a feel of timelessness to me. Perhaps this is due in part to the location itself, as it felt less trod upon by tourists, ...or perhaps it was the unyielding historical influence of the place that gave it that feel. The ancestral surnames of O'Sullivan and Harrington still remain, embedded by the passing of countless generations. As we explored this picturesque sea-side village, we were guided to an olde church-yard in the heart of the town. It seemed inviting with it's lush vegetation, neon-green lawn, and sparkling faery flowers. The Olde locked gate around the church perimeter seemed a mere obstacle to the force of the "calling" within. 'Tis a wonder that a local businessman across the street offered us a key that we may enter the grounds at our leisure! ... read more

From Cork, Ireland we intuited our next destination to be Kinsale, which is a small village on the southern coast of Ireland. We took the bus per our intuitions as there was a large focus of energy that we were drawn to, this based on what our vision forces had revealed to us. In the months prior to this trip, we had united our intentions and purpose to serve a primary vision Spirit gave to us for the purpose of this Spiritual Sojourn. We agreed to this knowing that we would be guided to places where all of us could have our spiritual growth needs met. Kinsale was one of those places. The town alone was a delight to me. It was quaint, colorful, bright and cheerful. There were small shops, pubs and restaurants everywhere ... read more

(by Becky) This journey for me is about learning to serve life in all ways, anytime, anywhere & to be mindful & present in each moment. In cork, I was called to serve in a very unusual way. The place we were guided to was called Mount Conway. Housing developments covered the foot of this hill but pastureland/farms take up the middle to top portion of the hill. We found a private drive which looked to have stepped out of a fairytale (major photo op). We met the owner of the home who gave us permission to wander the property. As we explored, we learned about the land and the people who lived there long ago. We learned that an invading barbaric force that attacked those who lived on this land. The ways in which ... read more

The Garnish House Between Ms. Lucey her husband Con, and their impeccable assistant Marcel we had the best time. (A word about Marcel, he was a really lovely young man whose personality and good looks made him the darling of Garnish House - and of us to!), Garnish house (having been named after Garnish Island near Castletownbere, Ireland; an island entirely covered with flowers) is one of our top favorite B&B's to date. I can't say enough about the beautiful displays of food, the huge quantities of it, and the tastiest of homemade scones and breads, full Irish breakfasts, fresh fruits and special ordered gourmet delights. The entire house and rooms were tastefully appointed. Our room included fresh fruit and flowers, and was quite comfortable. I had the best jacuzzi tub experience in our bath and ... read more
