#2 Busy days

It is February already.
I feel good because I managed to keep my expenses on budget during the month of January. Also yesterday I received a wonderful phone call from my friend Steve. He was on a meditation retreat and had a significant spiritual breakthrough. We are on similar spiritual paths, and we have so much to share. Mindfulness is at the heart of it all. He is interested in attending the retreat next August with Thich Nhat Hanh. It will be wonderful if we can both go and share that experience.

Yesterday I also helped present another workshop on prejudice reduction with the NCBI team (National Coalition Building Institute http://www.ncbi.org/home/index.cfm) . It went very well. with all the problems in the world today, it helps me to know that I am doing my small part to try to make things better.
