I want warm colors in the browns, deep orange, and golds. I would like it to match the colors of my book, which is at www.RetreatReflectRenew.org "Retreat, Reflect, Renew: A Sacred Journal for A More Peaceful You."

The two elements I think are important are a cirlce and a cross. The ideas we have thought of are: 1- A free-form circle around the Retreat, Reflect, Renew words with a cross in the middle (maybe "shining" through), maybe a cross coming out of the t in "Reflect". The circle would be giving the feeling of holding women, providing support. 2- A circle as its own symbol above the Retreat, Reflect, Renew words. I have no idea how to work in a cross, if that's the image.
The story behind the circle and cross are: The seeds of the Retreat, Reflect, Renew ministry were planted the night I entered a room with a circle of women I had never met before. It was a faith sharing ministry I had just joined. I had never experienced such a loving, welcoming, non-judgmental, sacred, and safe space to share my faith like that before. That safe circle of women is where I experienced the Holy Spirit converting me for the first time and was the beginning of a life-changing journey. Now I am dedicated to providing that same circle of faith sharing for others. There are too many lonely, isolated women out there who have no circle of support. They are alone, overwhelmed by all of the mixed messages in the world and need a safe circle to come as they are and be heard, to get in touch with Christ in that circle, and Christ within, and through that experience, feel whole again.
The significance of the circle: The circle symbolizes:
• A sacred circle of support.
• A circle that is safe, that will welcome you, hold you, and encourage you.
• A circle that tells you you're not alone - we are all in this together.
• When women are in a faith-sharing circle - it shows that every person in that circle has an equal amount of wisdom to share: Every woman is an important piece of the truth and a worthy part of the whole.

The significance of the cross
• When there is a faith sharing circle, there is always a prayer table in the middle with a Christ candle because Christ's light is in the middle of the whole.
• The more women share in that circle, the more we will experience Christ's light shining through the center of our group and the center of our hearts.
• Where two or more are gathered, there I am in the midst. is one of my favorite scripture verses because I experience the fullness of God's love when I 'm in that circle.
