Remembering India

Hi all. It's been 6 months since my India trip and I've finally created this slideshow...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFnNzWjMHug (it moves fast, so don't blink!)

We've all had experiences in places that impacted us in a deep way. Then as the days, weeks, and months go by we begin to forget. But all it took for me was an hour of looking at my photos, reading from my journal, and treasuring the gifts I brought back for myself... and I remember clearly what my Intention was for my trip, how it those 2 weeks changed me and opened my eyes, the people that made it possible for me to go and the friends I made along the way.

I am so grateful I had the opportunity to visit India. I hope I never forget the many things I learned and experienced there including: being comfortable being uncomfortable, being calm in the center of chaos, being grateful for what is, letting go of control, facing fears and realizing its not as hard as you imagine it to be, crossing bridges, the joy of a hot cup of Chai, the funny way sitting still for an hour is somehow harder than running or cycling for an hour (what i called "endurance sitting" :)

I know my India Adventure was a once in a lifetime experience but thankfully with technology, photos and friends to share memories with on Facebook, India will be part of me forever...

Namaste
