It's My Party and I'll OM if I Want To
Namaste, my fellow Yogis and Yoginis! Greetings to you during the Downward DOG days of summer!
I am excited to share that I turn 44 later this month.
I must say that I am more into counting blessings in my life than candles on a cake!
Though with all those candles, it sure is getting brighter and I can see the numerous
blessings in my life more clearly than ever before. I must confess, a regular yoga and
meditation practice has saved my life in more ways than one!
And one of the blessings of this life is that I get to share
the therapeutic benefits with so many people. Please join me in my birthday celebration. It's inspired by one of my favorite movies. No, I am not asking you to all dress up as your favorite Muppet or Planet of the Apes character!
I'll wait to do those things during a more age-appropriate 50 or 60! It is based on the movie "Pay It Forward" and involves spending no money or sending me a card.
It is pretty simple, actually. I am asking each of you to be part of a "PAY IT FORWARD" movement.
It's a concept that has been around since at least ancient Greece and my hope is that it can
continue on long after you and I are no longer alive. Can you find time this month to offer one (or more) random act of kindness to a stranger. For specific PAY IT FORWARD steps, click here. Do something that does not involve exchange of money or material goods.
It could be offering your leftover from dining out to a homeless person.
It could be helping someone find their way.
It might be volunteering a few hours or a day of your time to help out a local charity or service agency.
Follow the good in your heart, and you can't go wrong! And, in case you were wondering, YOU receive at least 5 health benefits when you are kind to others.

and know that there's no act of kindness, no matter how small, that is ever wasted!
