I think we all associate Thanksgiving with massive amounts of food.

Rev. Maria Dancing Heart Hoagland has put together some wonderful gift baskets to give people a chance to do just that. Her gift baskets are certainly not ordinary though. Wrapped in a Japanese cloth, a furoshiki, the gift “basket” is made with love and presented graciously. Each time you wrap and unwrap the “basket” you take the time to allow your soul to take the time it needs reconnect and relax. (more…)
