a long time ago, i had friend named Lisa. i met her through Lama Lobsang. she came for yantra yoga and sunday evening puja. we chatted and there were lots of giggles in yoga. we were both a part of the kitchen table discussions that led to the Blue Beryl Dharma Center.
then life offered Lisa a new path. She went to Thailand on a vacation and while she was there she found her calling. when she came back, it was obvious that her heart was in Thailand and her life as she knew it before the trip was over. ultimately, it was very difficult in some ways for Lisa as she was married at the time and her husband was not going to move.
i was absolutely in awe of her certainty. i couldn't believe that changes so drastic and deeply emotional could be made. but, as i learned only a couple of years later... that is exactly what life is about.
today, Lisa is the director of the Thai Freedom House. i hardly recognize her in photos anymore, but finding your passion is the true fountain of youth. once we do that and grab the reigns of our life, all the baggage of our stuckness falls away.
Lisa's heart is huge and the depth of her willingness to help... remarkable. if you can help the Thai Freedom House... that would be appreciated. regardless... take a look at the website if you have a moment and thanks for stopping to read this. :)

Passion is such a key to life. I like the picture at the top it is perfect even though it is just a kids picture.
