As I begin to put pen to paper I am seated across from a swami at a cafe table in Thiruvannamalai, India. It’s very warm but the kiss of palm fronds against one another let me know a breeze is coming. The afternoon is relaxing and glorious. This morning we were up at 4:30 to … More Rise and Shrine
Day four: travel day. The interesting thing about travel within India is the concept if time and its elasticity. Within each city, travel time is usually accurate. Rickshaw and taxi drivers will do anything in their power to get you to your destination in the time they have estimated. Since there seem to be no … More From Here to There
Day Three: Chennai. If yesterday was about shopping and education, today is about peace. After a mostly sleepless night we awake at 5:30 for a full yoga class and meditation. Even though we’d both rather sleep we cannot deny the amazingly positive effect yoga has on our fatigue and overall outlook. Not to mention our … More Sacred Sites
Chennai: Day Two. India always smells like its a little bit on fire. Despite that it takes almost no time for me to feel comfortable and grounded here.

Third and final day in merry old England. Our entire focus today was the changing of the guard. We had just one thing to do. We had to be there no later than 11 am. We were up and out in plenty of time, even with confirming our flights and checking in online. Creatures of … More High winds
London, Day Two: It seems Londoners are so accustomed to the rain that more than half of them do not carry umbrellas. But, the rain boots are fabulous! All range of colors and styles from sparkly to camo and ankle high up to the knee. A bright spot on a rainy day. If we could … More Big Eye, Big Ben, Big Fun
Today begins our three week adventure east. My friend Karin and I are off first to London then on to India – again. Day one London. After arriving 6 am London time and 1 am our internal clock time posed a unique set of circumstances not unfamiliar to those who regularly hop time zones. We … More Cheers and Namaste
