I had a throbbing headache when I woke up due to the late night at the temple. I motivated myself to pack and get moving. It was only a few kilometres into my morning when I came up behind this site. Two elephants walking on the street with their handlers. I stopped to take the photos and they stopped to see me. I got to pet the elephant and it made my day!! God, I love India!

I was still so tired, but thankfully the roads were good and I fell into the driving 'zone' for most of the day. I had these roads to myself and my thoughts drifted.

Most of the ride I was feeling so grateful for the encounters I had had with people and the blessings I had received from them. I reflected on how the unfortunate events in my life, the corporate job I hated and quit, and the '97 auto accident which caused me a financial and health crisis,  had both shaped me significantly.

I left corporate to follow my dream of travelling, and then the auto accident gave me health issues to resolve, which I have been doing in my travels around the world. I have sought and found healing everywhere I have been, especially in India.
The healing process has been physical, emotional, mental and spiritual, thru so many healers, teachers and gurus. It has been an unbelievable journey.

Today I realized that I was finally feeling so much better than I had in years. I still have all the invisible illnesses. The key for me has been to study and learn about how they manifest in my life and become more skillful in management of my energy.
I have become a good steward and caretaker of myself.  This is where the peace begins.. at home...inside..OM
