Folks,
Happy birthday sweet Diane.. I know that you had a good one.
April 1st, .. an April fools baby (like my grandmother Madalyn. )
I’m writing form Copper mountain.. where Gabe is competing in his first USA Snowboard Association finals . It was aan eventful ride down here.. nothing much.. but by the time we got here around 11 we were all pretty tired of travel
One tret thoguh is that Diane called . I; ve been thinking about her all day. As you’ll see in her note below, she’s had a wonderful set of birthday celibrations down in Costa Rica.. I’m so glad that she got to do somethign so meaningful for herself.
I just want to say to the world, that I’m so grateful to have found such a wonderful person with whom to share my life. I could not have found a more strong, calm, loving, sweet centered or fun mate..
Here’s the note that I just got from Diane that tells about her day (not ethe scorpians !)
Hi Everyone!
It’s my birthday! I had a great day…and it would have been complete with my family. John, Gabe & Max we will celebrate together soon.
Thank you for all of those great birthday notes. Max…glad to meet Jacqueline (sp ?) through email and you said such meaningful words to me. Thanks. Gabe…you should be at Copper Mountain now. Glad to have talked to you today and thanks for the email. Mom & Dad..I tried to call you at around 7:00 tonight. Sorry I did not through to you. I love you! Thanks to all who have sent their love. Kathy..you will be happy to know I did tell people it was my birthday and it was good.
John…you are the sweetest love. The chocolate cake was amazing and the scarf was so special. I will always wear it and think of how you reached out to me from so far away. Everyone here has been so kind. It started with a birthday song this morning…then ice cream after 2:00 session…then tonight I was honored by being picked up on cushions and lifted up and down…then a great cake also up at Don & Amba’s house. Devarshi’s (Don’s very good friend from the ashram of the past) birthday is Monday and he too had a cake. It was a special day and evening. I will celebrate with all of you soon.
The training is coming to a close. We have all presented our classes and the sessions have been profound….fun and intense. This has been a special time for an inner quest. Much to integrate.
One last note…two nights ago I was blessed with the largest size yet scorpion in my room. Gary was kind enough to get up and remove it. Makes you want to shake your sheets a bit more. We shake all clothes and sheets!
Well…must go now. Love you all! love..diane
OK.. that’s it for now.. it’s very late here.. time to sleep. nite all
