Welcome

I originally began, and titled, this blog when I traveled to India for 6 months in 2011. I ended up helping the royal Panwar family start an organic farm, cultural conservation center, and hotel in the foothills of the Himalayas, 6 hours drive north of Delhi. Hence the blog posts from four years ago depicting those wonderful travels. I often think fondly of the kind people I know there.....

Happily I am continuing this blog, and keeping the name. My intention is to engage with and bear witness to the shift in consciousness I believe is happening all around the world. It is a miracle to be able to join people everywhere who are healing ourselves, each other, and the Earth through discovering the unity and the freedom of being alive.

On this journey though our magical world, we become aware of how we create our inner and outer world as one. Let us be true to ourselves, that we might inspire each other! Witnessing so many ways of life, we recognize to the archetypal spiritual forces vying for the world, disguised in the veils of our personal story lines and ordinary lives. Every moment is a sacred offering, when we decide which ones we serve.

I will be posting draft chapters of my first novel, "Otherwise What?, as they become available. Most recent posts appear on top. Thank you for reading :)

Busy busy

This is the view of my village from bus ride to Mussourrie
This is a time of great motivation. So much is taking place on the farm! I am really pleased with all the progress. This week I made two floor plan designs for the main building of our project, one where the food processing plant and cow shed will be and another where our organic restaurant, reception courtyard and store will be. There has been a back hoe working here for five days making water storage tanks, flattening the areas under construction and also building a road! Now there is vehicle access all the way down the 14 acre terraced property and even to the little cottage where I am living.

I have also started seriously working on the three large murals I am painting for the restaurant. They are original designs done in the style of local Garhwali painting. This project is a dream come true for me, I am working with people, with the earth and with art. I thank God every day for being given this wonderful experience.
