Happy Anniversary to me!

This July marks the 10th Anniversary of me being an American citizen! Reason to celebrate, don't you think?

My journey started as a 16-year old foreign exchange student in Iowa. And all of these years later, I still consider my then-host family part of my extended real family.

I'm so grateful for being here, where I found so many lifelong friends, and particularly my spiritual teacher, Dr. Joseph Michael Levry, with whom I have been studying since 2005.

Lets create more peace, compassion, understanding, generosity, kindness, gentleness, grace, forgiveness and love in this country with our actions, thoughts, words and smiles!
