Holi, the festival of colors, always reminds me of the upcoming Spring season.

As I move into the next phase of my grief cycle, I find that I am overcome with Anger. Anger at all thet was and is no more. I know it is a regular cycle of life that things ebb and flow. We die, we are born and we experience life. Anger has never been soContinue reading “Recharge & Renew”

I’m Back!! Yes, I have been gone and dealing with what is known as Life.

I visited the KYM Mandiram this October for two weeks. This is the lineage of my teacher Mr. Bossart. Never have I learned so much as I did in these two weeks.
