Preparing For Change

Leap of Faith…… and then some
I had just arrived in Madison, Wisconsin to teach at Bhaktifest. It was a steamy, stormy, hot summer day in July as I unpacked my bags in my hotel room. I pushed aside my big duffle bag packed with camping gear for the next leg of my trip to New Mexico and Summer Solstice and […]
