Blessings Sweet Cherry Blossoms,
I am back from Mexico Happy, Healthy and Whole. We had a blissful and bountiful trip to Cancun... Ocean had so much fun cruising the white sandy beaches in his birthday suit, playing and splashing in the caribbean sea and spreading love to everyone he met. Nana was in her glory with her grandson and soaked up every second.. (also gave mama a little vacation at the same time) Thank GOD for mama's!!!
Here are a few pics for you to share in the JOY of our trip:




Our CommUNITY dinner & Inspirational Movie night was an incredible love, joy and peace filled evening!!!
As Wayne Dyer said in his movie From Ambition to Meaning. " We don't attract what we want, we attract what we are."
We were anticipating 20 people when Mike (Shinning Sage Catering) and I first discussed the non-profit event. The saying " If you want to make God laugh tell him your plans" was in full swing. 110 people showed up and WOW!!! Was it an abundant evening !!!! A WHOPPING $675.00 was raised and the donation went directly toward the Green Team at the Gibsons United church. May our world be clean and GREEN!!!
I would like to thank Mike for donating his time, calm energy and sparkling love he put into the preparing of the food and the evening. Mike truly is an example that Gandhi once quoted. "Be the change you want to see in the world"
Mike and I wish send out HUGE LOVE & gratitude to the congregation at the Gibsons United Church for donating their sacred space and for all the support and infinite kindness around the event. As well as a big Thank you to Terri Scallon the minister at Gibsons United for all her Loving support and kindness. We would love to thank all the beautiful sevadars (selfless service) who served the space so spontaneously. You know who you are!!!! Just like the movie said the highest form of enlightenment is to serve selflessly and expect miracles to happen daily! God Bless you. We would also like to thank our loving peace filled community for coming together in unity. What a blessing it is to live in such a thriving united community.
We plan on doing another CommUNITY dinner and Inspirtational movie night in June so stay tuned.
We hope to really get God laughing this time.

What is Laughter (Hasya) Yoga?
Did you know that the average child laughs between 300 and 400 times per day? By the time we reach adulthood we are reduced to laughing, on average, only 12 times a day! Laughter has been proven to reduce stress, pain, and depression while improving creativity, physical vitality and a sense of well being.
The worldwide laughter movement started in India in 1995 when Dr. Madan Kataria, a Mumbai physician, discovered the physical and psychological benefits enjoyed by his patients who had taken to heart his prescription for regular laughter. They were happier, healthier and more productive. With his wife, Madhuri Kataria, a yoga teacher, Dr. Kataria developed laughter yoga-- a series of breathing and movement exercises designed to teach the body to laugh without depending on jokes or humor.
You will leave refreshed and invigorated. You will do this for no reason at all, except improving your health and well-being. People of all ages, religions and ethnicities laugh together. It is a great way to build bridges and promote peace in the community.
Imagine! Laughing for no reason at all except the joy of improving your health and well-being.
