Hope you enjoyed the Halloween Eve with your family and friends. The website is finally fixed and I can continue to post short pieces about mindfulness, meditation, reading, walking, and journaling. We begin a new month today: Mindfulness, and Awe, Wonder, Delight. For this eleventh month I’ll write about my experiences in nature mostly National Parks, experiencing art, and looking at sacred images. Awe, Wonder and Delight are sacred emotions that kindle spiritual delight, tenderness, and kindness. Ancient Hindu texts teach that within us there is an innate force of joyful wonder, but we must create outer circumstances for it to sprout and surface.

Dear Readers,Greetings! Hope all of you’re doing well. I know, I know before I went for France I had promised that I’ll be back within three weeks from the day I left. That was September 27th. But I just couldn’t. Yes we had an amazing trip in France experiencing Bordeaux, Paris, Rouen, Les Andelys, Versailles, Geverny and Normandy. We returned home on October 10 late at night. So where was I for the last sixteen days? Both, my husband Manoj and I were severely exhausted with common cold and cough, so much so that even going to the dining hall for meals was a big chore.
