For those of you who sent me well wishes in the last week... or expressed concern over the recent violence in India, THANK YOU.  I just wanted drop a quick note to tell everyoneknow that I am safe, sound and centered.  

Being in Northern India at a yoga ashram, one can be quite disconnected from the outside world.  So, I was oblivious to the Mumbai bombings until my sister told me on Thanksgiving.  Wow, did it upset me.  Mostly for the senselessness of it all.  But it also felt personal, as the violence was directed towards people just like me.  Targeting US & British citizens, the “terrorists” stormed into Leopold's – where Matt and I ate/drank less than a month ago! And they bombed the Taj Mahal Palace hotel, located just across from the India Gate, where we hung out on our last day in Mumbai.  Just like that day, I can just picture it filled with innocent tourists (from India and abroad), no one meaning anyone any harm.  Those killers are filled with evil and misdirected anger.  It is very disconcerting – whether or not I am in India. 

I promise to add some good photos from India and Indonesia soon!  Love to you all ~steph
