Howdy Y'all!

"O Lord, make me an instrument of Thy Peace! Where there is hatred, let me sow love; Where there is injury, pardon; Where there is discord, harmony; Where there is doubt, faith; Where there is despair, hope; Where there is darkness, light, and Where there is sorrow, joy. Oh Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love; for it is in giving that we receive; It is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life."

Things are going very well. We are still doing our month long self transformation program, so it has been nice getting to know everyone. There are about 80 - 100 residents here so it has been a challenge to remember everyone's name, but I think that we are doing pretty well thus far. The yoga teachers training started this evening and will go on for the next 3 weeks so there will be plenty of new faces running about. These folks have a long 3 weeks ahead of them! The programming starts at 6:30 am and ends at 10:00 pm every day. FOR ALL 21 DAYS! No breaks, no days off. That is commitment. We should be moving out of the main building and into our apartment around the 19th or so, so it will be nice to get settled in to a more permanent situation, although living in the main building has some nice points.

Our movers have not made contact with us yet to set up a delivery time, and we are hoping that they take WAY longer than promised so we do not need to move 2 times. This will probably not happen however as the 15th was considered the latest for it to arrive.

Again, not a lot of huge stuff going on, but just a quick update. The prayer above is the prayer of St. Francis of Assisi. I love this prayer, I thought it would compliment the www.

Love, peace, and prosperity to all
