Posted in travel on May 29, 2007 | 3 Comments »
We just returned from a 10 day road trip to Austin, San Antonio and Corpus Christi Texas. Traveling with a toddler is never my idea of fun, but we did get to see some nice temples and despite the sad condition of the ocean and beach on the Gulf Coast, it always feels good to [...]

I just finished reading an inspiring book called “Women Saints East and West” edited by Swami Ghanananda. I’ve read some books before that contain the life stories of various Christian women saints and I just haven’t been able to identify with or feel inspired by their way of life or their realisations.
