Gratitude- great response

HAPPY HOLIDAYS

As I reflect on the year, I realize how truly blessed I am! I have an amazing daughter, my family,and my friends and all of you!

What can I do to make a difference?
This year rather than a traditional secret Santa, I asked my yoga teacher trainees if we can do a helpful secret Santa.

  1. Each person drew a name (secret, of course)
  2. Each person will bring in a non perishable item that represents their secret person.
  3. Of course, they will share why they chose that particular food item.
  4. Finally, all food will be donated to a soup kitchen.

My contribution: I will also contribute 6 items. One for each person in the training. Our gift represents compassion for others during this holiday season.

If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion. ~Dalai Lama
