Visa mess

Hello 'out there,'

Well, I am still in Canada right now as we have not yet received our visas to go back to India. So, I am stuck right now- being paid to do nothing except wait. Okay I guess, but it gets kinda boring after a while, especially when you expected and want to be back and setting up for the new school year. So, we'll see what happens. But, in the meantime I have been dabbling in acupuncture! It's really great, I sing it's praises loud! And it really isn't that freaky having lots of little needles sticking out of you- I even got one in my 'third eye' right between my eyebrows! It feels great- you really can feel your energy channels opening and it's helped my neck and hip pain quite a bit. Try it! I go to a great homeopathic doctor for it. Okay, well- I'll keep you 'out there' updated on the visa fiasco!

I am a blogging machine!

Here's some pics from my most recent exploits back here in the north and some from Germany. Happy viewing everyone!

Playin' on the swings in a bathing suit....is there anything better in life?!
Charlotte learns how to play 'Goodbye Little Jessie' on the guitar. She's got talent!!

Homage to a very cute girl.....

No, no, not me. I mean, I am cute too, but look at John's neice Charlotte. Isn't she the cutest!?

Me and....

Germany #4

Some pics from the World Famous Berlin Zoo! It was feeding time in the carnivore section as you can see!

Germany #3

Okay, so this one features my sweet bf John eating some pork knuckle off the bone and walking towards the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin. Also shown is a piece of the Berlin wall.

Germany #2

Here is John at the Museum in Munich, me 'sipping' a beer with one of the many lions in Munich and one of the many bakeries that are everywhere...for example, this one is underground at the subway station!

Germany #1

Here are some shots from Germany. These first ones are from Frankfurt where John and I arrived. Cool eh- looks like a gingerbread house!

One more time....

I am going to post this poem again (it was on my blog last August at almost exactly the same time!) just cause I think it is so beautiful and appropriate for when we forget what is important in our lives:
For Love Of The World
For Love of The World
Charlotte Tall Mountain
For the love of a tree, she went out on a limb.
For the love of the sea, she rocked the boat.
For the love of the earth, she dug deeper.
For the love of community, she mended fences.
For the love of the stars, she let her light shine.
For the love of the spirit, she nurtured her soul.
For the love of a good time, she sowed seeds of happiness.
For the love of the Goddess, she drew down the moon.
For the love of nature, she made compost.
For the love of a good meal, she gave thanks.
For the love of family, she reconciled differences.
For the love of creativity, she entertained new possibilities.
For the love of her enemies, she suspended judgement.
For the love of herself, she acknowledged her worth.
And the world was richer for her.
