My first couple of days at the Raj, in
Maharishi Vedic City, Iowa,
the weather was rainy and foggy.
I stayed in my room and read between spa treatments.Maharishi Vedic City, Iowa,
the weather was rainy and foggy.
I watched instructional videos.
I came to learn about the Vedic way of life.
It is all about digestion!
I felt enthusiasm;
creative ideas began to flow.
Spring came in gently while I was away.
I returned refreshed, renewed
and nourished.
I read her card off and on during my stay. "The poet John Berryman said, "We must travel in the direction of our fear." But we certainly need not travel alone!"
I snuggled with little Penguin chick at night. She is a Llama Llovable.
The hand loomed, wool shawl came from India.
The colors were just perfect for my Spring Rejuvenation.

Sherry it is good to hear that you are home and feeling refreshed. I am anxious to hear about your spa journey.
I had to catch up with your last posts and I found again wonderful pictures, sometimes very medidative. It is a pleasure to see them as always. I hope you'll have a happy and joyful Easter!
Best wishes, Barbara
Welcome home Sherry. How thoughtful of your daughter to have a "care package" waiting for you. Your little penguin looks like he was good company :-}

Dearest Girlfriend~
I'm so happy you are home, and feel refreshed, renewed and nourished.
Your daughter is so precious. You must have felt very loved, receiving a package upon your arrival with your card and snuggle baby. It makes my heart glad for you.
Much love~

Dear Lisa,
I am happy to be home. Happy to go and happy to return!
I learned so much. It will take a while to get everything intregrated into my life. One meal at a time!

Dear Barbara,
Thank you! I often will do a meditative photo essay.
Glad you enjoy those.
Blessings to you this Easter and may spring's rebirth bring you smiles!
Namaste,
Sherry
Dear Deb,
Little Penguin was very good company! I read my daughter's card a few times each day. If I needed a rationalization for doing this "spaing" I can always say, "I am role modeling for my daughter!"
Learning self care has been hard for me. I am very used to taking care of others.
Thank you Deb for your kind words.
Happy Easter.
Happy Spring.
Namaste,
Sherry
Dear Sprite,
My daughter understood and understands how hard this was/is for me to do. She is very sweet and supportive. By going to the spa I am making a statement that I am taking care of my body. I am not only caring for Mother Nature but also for me, Mother Nature's daughter.
It is exciting. The Aurveda way is very beautiful.
Thank you Sprite for your care and love.
Namaste,

Dear Meggie,
I decided to get a new shawl as part of my Spring re-birth. I do have a few shawls and I keep them for special occasions. I have decided each day is a special occasion and I will wear my shawls and enjoy them.
My daughter is so kind and loving!
Ahhhh....
Thanks for your support.
Namaste,
Sherry
Dear Mary,
I am so excited about your Tiger Swallowtail. So beautiful!
The butterflies will return to my gardens soon. I will begin flowerbed clean up the 1st of April. I am so excited to see the butterflies again.
Spring, re-birth and joy!
Sherry
