Amma is on Her way!

To all of you who don't know Amma is my guru...Her full name is Mata Amritanandamayi...Mother of Immortal Blissful...and blissful She is. If you have ever wanted to experience the love and compassion of Mother Theresa, or Gandhi, or Jesus or the Divine Mother in whatever form She is here, on this planet and on Her way to New York City on July 14, 15 and 16. You can get all the details at www.ammany.org.

Don't miss this opportunity to receive Her blessing or to just be in the beauty of Her divine energy. She is giving Her life to awaken and love others...It is always an honor to serve her and this year I am one of the coordinators for service. If you want to help out write me (ok, so not many people read this blog yet, but hey, you never know).

Jai Ma...I miss you Mother and I can't wait to be in your lap.

Your daughter,
Rena

A New Perspective...

It has been quite some time since I posted anything here, but I was reading another blog and felt inspired. That blog is written by a young man who is quadrapalegic. He is a tremendous source of strength and inspiration. Today was his 1 year blog-anniversary and he wrote that he has had 900,000 hits. I discovered his site on the msn home page last year and I check in regularly. Anyhow, here is someone who has managed to find meaning and purpose in his life when seemingly he could have taken a very different road. I have spent a lot of my life afraid of so many things...remember that REM song "Oh no I've said too much". But I have been changing that. Kenny (that's the name of the msn blog-guy) has changed my perspective and so has working for a hospice. I want to remember that one day I will die so that I live more fully, less afraid, courageous and strong with all my faults and foibles. I had a bone removed from my foot recently. I have been isolated and lonely. It sucks to be even temporarily disabled but I can get up and walk, granted it's 3 months later and I am still in pain, but what about Kenny? He can't feel pain in his foot anymore..never will. He used to be a sports junkie and now he is a writer inspiring so many people to live more fully. I was very depressed the other day (ok, mainly it came from seeing my parents but that is a different story) but I hit a bottom...I want to live, I want to be happy..."Today is the day that the Lord has made and I will rejoice in it". Sometimes it comes naturally, sometimes I HAVE to will, but heck I'm glad I'm glad I've lived another day, reached another hot summer in NYC. Last night I got to play with a Russian wolfhound AND an Irish wolfhound...yes in New York City...nothing beat the doggie love...So I will keep my chin up and I hope you do to...(but I will be there when it's down). blessings...Rena
