Today is a true gift from the gods, in comparison to yesterday...Still with tummy trouble but FAR less severe than yesterday, don't have body aches anymore - instead they have been replaced by a wicked sore throat. So then, why is today a gift from the gods you may ask?
1) Feeling better is feeling better, no matter how you slice it ;)
2) Had a lovely practice this morning - tummy behaved and body was without aches - and best of all - I had a breakthrough with Karandavasana and Mayurasana today!!! Via practice, practice, practice I am gaining more and more control in coming down into my triceps - and in Mayurasana I finally realized (duh) that I need to be squeezing myself together from my toes up to mula bandha and then start to lift my legs in the air - one of those ah ha moments - followed by a doh....
3) I finally have a washing machine - one of the glorious wonders of the world in my opinion - been waiting almost three weeks for this beauty and she has arrived - spent several hours happily catching up on my laundry this am - oh the little things - the little things I tell you! Although my maid has returned from the abyss and will be here this evening to clean, I simply could not resist using my lil old used washing machine myself ;)
4) Got a phone call from my mama for the first time this trip ;) so nice to chat with her for a while...And she told me she's gonna send me a package - although it will have to go to Scotland since I'm leaving India so soon ;(
5) I'm gonna have visitors in Scotland :) Sasha and Kwang, and possibly Liz, are gonna come visit with me during my four months in Scotland - makes me SOOOOO happy :)
Oh oh happy day ;)

And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our fear, our presence automatically liberates others. – Marianne Williamson
Happy Sunday to you all! I wish love, happiness, and contentment to everyone! I am just trying to relax and enjoy my last few days here in Mysore before I head back to the States on Thursday. I can’t believe the time has come and gone and I’m now heading home. But I can happily say I’ve had such an amazing experience here in India this year full of many new and different experiences, great yoga practice, and the beginning of a new love – Odissi!
I had dance with Sindhu today at 11am – we usually don’t meet on Sundays but I wanted to fit in as many lessons with her as possible the last few days before I go home. Today was a little sad b/c she told me she is just now getting sad as she’s realizing I’m leaving so soon. I too got sad for a minute, but smiled knowing that I will see her again next year. We have accomplished quite a lot in the time I’ve had with her, and I can’t wait to come back next year having worked on my dancing at home alone – want to come back and make Sindhu proud of me by showing her how much I’ve grown in my dance back in the States.
Thinking back on the last three months, so much has happened….many wonderful things, quite a few sad ones, some confusing moments, and many new experiences…It really blows my mind actually – the time that I’ve had this year, the people I’ve met, the things I’ve been able to do, and the memories I have to take home with me ;)
Tomorrow and the rest of the week will prove to be very busy indeed. I have quite a few final errands to run in the next few days, and a few of my newly found friends want to fill these last few days taking me to do some fun things – planning to go to the exhibition today (it’s like a fair back home), tomorrow is the zoo, and Tuesday we plan to go to the Circus! I’m really excited about the exhibition today and the Circus Tuesday as It’s been YEARS since I’ve been to a Circus (actually think the last time was when my father was still alive), and the fair has been at least five years. I’ve already been to the Mysore zoo but think it will be fun to go one last time with my friends. So, in addition to all that I have very little time to get everything else done – but it will all happen – no worries there.
Wishing you all a gorgeous day – wherever you are in the world!
