1/31, 2/1, 2 Sun NM, Dinner, 2/1 Med Class, Mindy 2/2 Hair, Hatha

I'm not ready to go to church again. I'm not sure why. I'm contemplating. Some people who know me very well, think that my heart is with yoga--not just the exercises. Yoga has been a serious part of my spiritual journey since I was very young. So . . . .I was able to get my exercises done.

NM was quiet. Matt and I worked and did well. A young man came in. He was deaf and had problems. I went to the back to get some $$$ for him. I knew it wasn't the best idea. He was with a normal guy who refused to talk. He went back to check out Tambra's room which is now locked. I don't know. When I gave the $$$ to the kid, he made a loving gesture. I was touched.

But I won't do it again.

We had dinner at Bobby and Em's. We came late, but I was able to present her with soup. She loves my soup. I used a new bullion cube. Bobby was nice enough to pick up salads for us. It's hard for him. Em is a vegetarian, Luke and I don't eat beef , don't even ask about the others. We ate simple salads with a little protein. It was good for us. I felt cold. I put it out of my mind. It's always fun to hang out with the kids. They are funny and make us laugh.

Bobby took pictures of "the" painting, and of Luke and I with the painting. Tomorrow Em will JPEG the pictures to Daren who is in charge of the charity event. My painting inspired by Luke's music. So exciting.

I was cold. And extra tired. But I ignored the symptoms.

2/1 The meditation class is coming together in a great way. I feel so good after class. I love all the students because they have quiet spirits. I used a reading from the Gita. The essence was: We are all compelled to act, acting without expectation leads to the divine realization. Happiness.

We had dinner with Em at the Turkish place. The food was good. Like so many restaurants, they are struggling. Heera's has already closed. Aww.

2/2 Woke up and had breakfast. I knew I was tired. I had a hair appointment, which I usually love. Not today. I started getting sick with nausea, fever and etc. I didn't realize until Eunice was part way through my color that I was really sick.

I called Luke and asked him to help me canacel my class. Jahana asked me to teach anyway because they are having a sale and several new students signed up.

I asked Bapuji for grace and to be with me. MKate had made other plans but was nice enough to cancel so that she could help me.

Lots of new people. My watch stopped and I couldn't time the class . A woman came with her autistic son, didn't tell me or ask me. He created stress and with the new people --well I just grateful that Bapuji was with me.
