Another Few Days in Paradise

Well it has been a few days since I posted and not much has changed , I worked a couple housekeeping shifts and a few kitchen shifts and i really per fer the kitchen. Who would of thought? But it is very zen like cutting vegetables. Today i have a kitchen shift and the afternoon off so I'm going to go hiking and maybe go down to the river. Me and my roommate are having a blast and we are going into charlottesville on Saturday for a vegetarian festival so really looking forward to that. Yes some of the lyt"s are having some issues but they will work them out .. I Hope..

Tension is mounting

Well you think coming to a spiritual community every one would get along not so.. I am thankfully getting along with everyone( knock on wood) so this is the skinny...
It is funny because the people who u thought would be SO serene are not and the people who u think would not be are. So with the lyt's allot of people are having their own stuff come up and sometimes it is being directed at the wrong people. I will keep you up to date as the saga continues tune in tomorrow..

Getting into the swing of things

Well i have been here just about a week. And what a lovely time i am having. I started my service part of the program and was put in housekeeping for today. Witch surprisingly enough i really enjoyed. It was very peaceful. Tonight  i am going to help out with kitchen clean up. What is weird is i really do not mind doing this stuff. All you need is a positive outlook and that goes along way. I took a hike yesterday it is so beautiful here and the weather is to die for...

Biss filled two days

Well i arrived Friday afternoon and it has been a full schedule. But i have been getting immersed into the yoga and meditation witch i love. I have a great roommate who is on a journey like i am so that makes it nice to have someone to talk to. The food is excellent vegetarian and delicious. I start the service part of my stay tomorrow. But i did volunteer today to help with kitchen cleanup so i met some of the other people who are in the program. I will keep everyone in the loop with how this goes.

Two more days nd im virgina bound

Well 2 more days to go and i am off to yoga ville. I thought i would be nervous but i am SO excited to get into the swing of things their. Well getting together all the stuff i need to take has been fun since i love shopping. The hard part is going to be scaling down what i am taking. As i mentioned in a earlier post i am a over packer but i have to keep the minimalist mentality. I have not started packing witch i probably should have started last week. It will all get done
