In our attempt to keep all involved and updated, I am going to start posting, hopefully, daily updates on this blog.  We certainly hope this may become an exchange too.  So we do await for your comments at the end of each blog entry.

Let me start by updating all of you on the amazing time we had at the cooking “class”!  it turned into, as many things tend to do in our center, into a wonderful time to be together.  We all shared recipes, food, and a time to laugh and be together.  It was a pretty amazing activity.  We all hang out like a family.  It was heart warming to see everyone sharing and just being genuinely happy.  Many of us truly commented on how this really felt like “thanksgiving”… How can it not feel like that?! 

There we so many aspects to be thankful for!  I cannot have words to thank Mohan and Vidula for letting us use their very comfortable home to get together.  Anyone that walks into their house feels like home.  Also, we are so grateful to Sabrina who contributed at the very last minute with a delicious dish.  Serge, our unofficial recorder!  He never missed a dish, a step, a preparation!  You never know when that flash is coming through!  Don and Betsy for their pleasant and constant smile and easy going personality!  Hui and Eric that are always game for everything!  It is the people that truly make the difference!  Of course, next time, we will pull out the ping pong table a little sooner!  If you are expecting the recipes, make sure you check my entries this week!

So far away in so many ways from my family, our center has shaped to be more than a group of friends, but truly a spiritual family!  So grateful!
