Goa...

the retreat in goa was amazing.
there was great time to rest.
beautiful space for my soul and spirit to rest and receive and worship.
wonderful time with my sisters/friends/co-workers...

i'll write more later (i promise - and you can't believe me, cause when i said that about the WMF staff gathering, i did deliver!)

for now...here are some musings/random thoughts/shout outs from the past week...

Dear Cipro, i cannot thank you enough for the help with the stomach issue. could have done without the sunburn. but i guess beggars can't be choosy.

Dear Lori, thanks so much for the haircut. i love it :)

Sharks...you always think one is going to eat you - but instead, i ate one (or at least part of one)...and it was really good!

Dear Mumbai airport, you're actually quite nice. and thanks for housing that awesome little jewelry store. and the mediocre donut shop (sidebar: Hinkley's Donuts...are you interested in opening a branch in kolkata?!)

Dear fancy resort in Goa, thank you for the comfy bed, the soft pillow, the great shower, and a dark quiet place to sleep. you will always have a special place in my heart

Dear beaches of goa, a) you are beautiful. b) thanks for the free pedicure. my feet are looking oh so clean!

Dear Katie, thanks for the super cool bird necklace. seriously...i love it!

Dear Women of Compassion Retreat, thank you for the space to allow my heart to soften, and to receive from the Lord. thanks for the new friends, and the beautiful time with not-so-new-friends. thank you for the chocolate chips, and the lotion, and the travel mug!
