Ayubowan and Season's Greetings from Sri Lanka

Dearest Thetis Islanders,

I join my hands at my heart and say Ayubowan (wishing you a long life).

I am in Sri Lanka for a holiday after completing a 300-hour yoga teacher training at my teacher's ashram in Rishkesh, India.  It was a rigorous and valuable training and I can't wait to share what I have learned. 

I am travelling for the next month and a half before returning to Rishikesh, this time to assist a training. 

I must say that I am very much enjoying the warmth of the sun and the people of this island. 

I miss you very much. I miss the trees and the ocean, the plants, birds and animals too. I miss our yoga classes, Soup's On, attending community meetings and island life.

It is with a glowing heart that I share about our community when people ask where I am from. I am blessed and I am grateful. 

I am sending wishes for a wonder-full holiday season and a most amazing 2020 - good health, love, laughter and joy.

Holiday Hours at Thetis Island Marina

One Year Ago

I am sure none of us on Thetis will ever forget the storm of December 20th, 2018. I am reminded of it every time I drive down our driveway as I see the dozens of downed trees and uprooted stumps. 

At the first site of the devastation I have to admit I shed a tear, but now even though I can still see evidence of the storm, it reminds me of the meaning of neighbourhood.  It is not just a "geographically localized community" we have here on Thetis, it is a collective of caring and giving people that don't even blink an eye to offer up assistance. People that pull together and work hard to make things right. I applaud all of you that stepped up to help a neighbour on that day and the many days following.
