Setting out on any new
adventure is a lesson in letting go and opening yourself up to the divine
nature of change and transformation. saying goodbye to the amazing friends i
made in thailand was difficult and made me all the more aware of how lucky I
am. I am overwhelmed with gratitude for the beautiful people and places i
have grown to love who helped me make Suratthani my home for 18 months. thank
you to everyone who has inspired me with your courage, compassion and
confidence - until our paths meet again!! chok dee na ka
En Route to Madurai, India via Chennai International Airport I felt a rush of emotions as I was closing a chapter of my life that had been soo powerful and left me with a feeling that I was a completely different person than the girl who packed her bags with all the wrong clothes and none of the supplies that would have been helpful for teaching :)
Now I was ready to start the next chapter, heading to southern India for a 1-month intensive yoga teachers' training course at the Sivananda Meenakshi Ashram in Madurai. When I landed at the airport I was expecting a taxi from my hotel (the main reason I booked this place for the one night was because they offered airport pickup and I was arriving after dark). I waited in the specified location for someone to show up with my name on a sign.. but an hour later no one arrived. After a hard bargain I finally got a driver to agree to take me the 2 miles to my hotel (address listed was "#13 Behind Airport") but after I got in the car with 2 men it dawned on me that the car I was in really wasn't even a taxi....After a hectic ride thru the rain that included lots of shouting and honking I got out at my hotel and was greeted by a huge cow in my face eating trash from the alley! Ahhhh welcome to India :)
