A story about Thich Nhat Hanh

I have just returned from a weeklong retreat with Thich Nhat Hanh, at Stonehill College in Easton, MA.
It was the most amazing experience of my life. To be in Thay’s presence is very moving. He is truly a Zen master, and nothing less. What an embodiment of peace, love, understanding and compassion. It is humbling and inspiring, and I am so lucky to have been able to be there for the retreat.

How I met Isabella

On the first day of school, over 13 years ago, and she’s been my best friend ever since! :D

Why I want to meet Paulo Coelho

I would like to tell him what a tremendous impact his books have had on my life, starting with the Alchemist, and then with The Pilgrimage, and all his other books. I am so moved by his words, touched by his insight and inspired by his wisdom. What a great teacher of life and love! I can’t think of a better way for him to share his gifts than by writing and inspiring people all over the world. I feel so drawn to him, his words, and his kind eyes. I hope that someday I can shake his hand and tell him personally what a spark he’s lighted in my life.

A story about Shan_flutterby

We met 12 years ago at the beginning of junior high and became friends instantly! We’ve been in contact on and off, as life would have it, but have always managed to have fun and laugh our asses off while being silly. Lately we’ve been each other’s kick-in-the-butt to get moving to go to the gym on a (semi) regular basis!

Why I like tippytoes

...because tippytoes is one of the most wonderfully thoughtful people I know! She’s helped me to realize and appreciate what a great person I am. She’s always there to point out a silver lining and to chime in during the “anthem”. She’s intelligent, articulate, funny, caring, loving, strong, independent and compassionate!
Why wouldn’t I love tippytoes?
