Gratitude and Perfect Timing

Our first post inner India. We are still safe in India. A 9 hour flight from San Fran to London, a 12 hour layover (see Picadilly Circus), an 8 hour flight to New Delhi. No sleep along the way, which actually helped in getting adjusted to the massive time difference. We were met by Pramila Gupta at the airport, she was holding a sign with our names on it. She is mother to Uday Gupta, classmate from USM. Speaking of...we gave a mindful communication workshop Monday to some employees of the Guptas. It went very well. USM tools around the world. New Dehli and the Gupta's made for a seamless transition to India. The house was beautiful and the hospitality unsurpassed. I went to my first Indian wedding. It was on of 35,000 that weekend in India or was it Delhi? Needless to say, it was a huge event and the colors were incredible. We saw some sites, ate very well at the Gupta home, slept like little babies, and eased into what Mr Gupta calls order in the chaos that is India. We are now in Dehra Dun visiting the children of the CED orphanage. You can read about them on a site at Himalayankid.org (I think). The children have been rescued from the border town of Dolpo in Tibet and have all made a 45 day trek to be at there new home here in Dehra Dun. The kids met us will smiles, hugs, and kisses when we arrived. You can feel all of the love in the orphanage, in their eyes, and in their shy smiles. We are filled with gratitude for all of the love and support that has been given to us along the journey thus far. These children are some of the most interesting people I have meet and we look foward to playing with them more, learning from them, and teaching them.
Love Love Love Laurel

I am loving waking up to The Power of Now, followed by our 20 min. morning meditations. Laurel and I both started it around the same time without telling each other and it's rocking our worlds! New experiences, elevated reading, silence, chaos, connection, trying on new ways of Being and playing...this is what I came here to experience. We are so blessed and have been witness to the countless angels that have help everything perfectly flow together.
