Glad you are finding snazz as well as practical advice here at LaughingYogini. I am a lover of snazz myself! Once we upgraded the theme and were able to include widgets, life at LY changed radically and became much more FUN! I really do have the BEST tech/design team in the WORLD - as you know. Remember to spread the love to the many folks you come into contact with on your daily travels. Most of us have a much larger sphere of influence than we ever recognize. As you practice BREATHING, you help the world to BREATHE. As you communicate your enthusiasm and cheerfulness, you touch and inspire others in untold ways. I am so happy to have you in my life.

America, get more sleep!!! Jon Kabatt-Zinn speaks about sleep deprivation and meditation in the video on mindfulness posted in the Laughing Yogini video library. It's about an hour long lecture and practice session presented at a google conference, but is well worth the investment in time to listen. Highly Recommended. Great to hear from you.

The negativity of others is not to be avoided, I'm afraid. We need to embrace the existence of negativity in others just as we embrace the dark side within us. On the other hand, when we feel it pulling us into its dark whorl, we need to ramp up our practices, especially lovingkindness, metta, or tonglen medtitation. They have incredible, transformative capabilities. Don't wish the miserable folks out of your life because they are presenting you with wonderful opportunities to deepen your life. I know that you already know this....I am just a little reminder here. For readers who are unfamiliar with lovingkindness practice, I posted a guided video practice in Laughing Yogini's video library. If you'd like to read more, Wildmind has an excellent introduction: http://www.wildmind.org/metta buddhaofhollywood, Always glad to hear from you.

Funny how cheerfulness surfaces when we "get" how much influence we have upon our own lives! I too love the "homey" Steven. Not a trace of arrogance in him. At the zen center, Roshi made a deal about soft shoulders and humility. Bet Steven's shoulders are soft as pools of water (to borrow Francois' imagery). Derek, Great to see you here.

It's looking really snazzy!
