Coming in for a landing...

Jambo Friends,

Today is Wednesday, March 3rd, this is my third day home.  I am starting to land and my mind is clearing.  Today I taught my first yoga class since being back and it felt great.  The positive energy and warm feelings in the room made me feel strong.  As I begin to settle, the intense feeling of how lucky we are to find ourselves in this land of opportunity begins to grow.  I do find myself grateful and in a bit of awe at how much we have going for us.  I had worried that I might find myself feeling guilty... indulging at Starbucks, getting my nails done.  But instead, I find myself marveling at this beautiful life we have and share with each other.  Why are we so lucky in this cosmic draw?  Why is my spirit, my soul, located in this body and life with so many gifts?  I am full of grattitude.  I am happy and blessed to have so much.  I am grateful to have been able to share a piece of myself with the Children I was with in Tanzania.  And even more grateful for the time they shared with me.

I have enjoyed blogging, and I still have many more behind the scenes stories to tell and share.  I believe this journey is not over but perhaps has just begun.
