A Whale of a Tale Winner
Congratulations to Elizabeth Goggins, with this winning entry:
"For my 41st birthday I talked a friend of mine into joining me in Baha, Mexico to go whale watching. He came from Washington, DC and I, the US Virgin Islands. We had heated discussions the whole way there because many wanted to turn Leguna San Ignacio, the last place on earth grey whale could give birth in peace, into a salt factory. On my birthday I was petting a grey whale and they and their babies were all around us. On the second day as he, a trained opera singer, sang our little fishing boat was surrounded by a mother and calf playing, a school of dolphin and numerous birds flying overhead. Magical, mystical day and he gave up supporting the factory."

Some species of whale live for over 200 years ~ what a whale of a tale they must be able to tell!
WHALE represents my passion in life – that which I invest immense energy into in order to bring my fullest service into the world. I speak of “Whaleness” daily, share the concept with my clients, and utilize the Whale energy as a touchstone for recharging my life.
While going for a cruise in our boat towards Cape Cod, a large whale suddenly appeared directly in front of us. It was scary and fascinating at the same time. It’s an experience we will never forget!
When my kids were little we always adopted a mother and baby every year. I hung their pic of the mother’s flukes on the wall and we followed their stories for years. It was an excellent way to talk about sentient beings, good mothering, whale midwives and breastfeeding ocean style. The fact they aren’t human did not make them any less of mothers or caring parents.
I grew up on an Island in the san jauns in washington state and got to see whales once in awhile and they really are majestic creatures.
