Ananda LA throwback pic

How fun to run across this photo so soon after our recent time in Los Angeles!

It was taken in 2012 or 2013, not long after Ananda’s movie Finding Happiness came out. We were only six of the thirteen ashram residents, plus two guests: Shivani, who lived at the ashram for several months while manifesting the movie; and Brian, who worked on the film as the steadicam operator.

Living in LA wasn’t always easy, but this brings back some real good memories.

From start to finish, nothing but joy

Singing “Little Kathy” with the Ananda LA choir.

These days have been full to overflowing with teaching, sharing, singing, connecting, driving, laughing, meditating, and more.

Ramesha and I had been feeling sorry not to be able to sing “Little Kathy” for Sunday service at the Village, but we were extremely well compensated by singing it with the singers from Ananda LA. We rocked it!

Plus the Ananda Village group rocked it as well. All is truly well in my world. 😊

So exhausted

Sunday service at Ananda LA, followed by a potluck. Then the long drive home.

Completely done in.

Precious gems of memories

I’ve started the searching and sorting through photos and have already found some precious gems!

I’m also having my memory jogged by certain pics, which is great fun.

Soon I’ll be ready to actually write something. 😂
