Lunch with Pat, Beth & Lynette

Pat and John met 4 years ago while participating in the Houston Marathon and now Pat has 'picked up' another Aussie couple while cycling. I think she actually attracts folk from down under! She then thought it would be a great idea for the two Aussies girls to meet so organized a walk in the park and lunch. It was wonderful spending time with Lynette who is from Brisbane and she was able to fill me in on news from home including an update on the devastating floods. Very little is telecast here re Australia or any other country outside the USA for that matter so it was nice to catch up on what's been happening. We walked around Storey Park and then lunched in Chinatown - just perfect. Thanks Pat.

An Evening with Marianne Williamson

Lydia invited me along to hear Marianne Williamson, a spiritual activist and an advocate of "A Course in Miracles". It was the most wonderful evening and I left with my head full of amazing thoughts and new goals. Thanks Lydia for another awesome experience.
