Planning ahead

Well, it’s almost time to board our flight. We’re flying Turkish Air to Istanbul and from there to Milano.

I got a bunch of my Italiano Automatico recordings transferred from laptop to phone so I can spend time on the plane making the mental shift to Italian (finally!).

Now I’m posting today’s blog, before heading into the twilight zone of jet lag. ✈️

A productive Sunday

This morning was about singing for Sunday service (which included a beautiful talk by our friend, Erin!).

I spent the afternoon absorbed in reading the memoir of Maurice White and learning more about his vision for founding one of my all-time favorite bands: Earth, Wind & Fire. Really inspiring stuff, which I’ll probably share more about in the future.

Finally I needed to spend some time on my Italian, which has become a priority since we’ll be going to Europe in April to visit Ramesha’s family after an absence of almost four years. I’m determined to be able actually to converse with my in-laws and our close friends, so I’m quite grateful to have discovered a wonderful program called Italiano Automatico, which I’m listening to every day.

So the next installment of how I continued to get to know Swami Kriyananda will have to wait until tomorrow.
