Blessed by Swamiji

Ramesha did a really great job designing the mugs for “The Christmas Mystery Collection.” I especially like this one with the cover artwork on one side and a combined photo of Swamiji with the group on the other.

In fact, as I happened to see it this morning while rushing around preparing for today’s concert, it struck me that Swamiji was actually blessing us.

And I do believe that’s exactly what happened today. It was a joyful, grace-filled process from start to finish, with a completely successful evening being the end result.

What joy (details tomorrow)!

My beautiful community

Awesome photo by the incomparable Barbara Bingham!

Today was our Lahiri work day at Ananda Village. I arrived a little late and missed being part of this wonderful photo.

But no worries! I still got to spend the morning serving alongside my fellow residents (all dear friends), being a part of the joyous enthusiasm of the day.

Look what I found

I planned on staying home and getting the laundry done today (which was great).

Then I started sorting through various bags and bookshelves with the goal getting rid of unnecessary stuff and gaining additional space (which I did).

Imagine my surprise at finding this framed photo which had been stashed away since we moved in 2018. I had completely forgotten about it!

I’m guessing I was three or four years old at the time the picture was taken. I’ll have to see if my Dad remembers for sure.
