I received a package from the North Pole today! Well pretty close - Nanoose Bay in the great country of Canada. My Santa seems to know me pretty well, too - so it must be my check-in pal Yogapam!

Pam sent me a copy of Louise Hay's Meditations to Heal Your Life. The first page I opened it to reads "Holidays are happy times for me." Since it's usually a challenging time, I am taking this affirmation to heart and will practice it through the season.

The mala beads will help! Pam, they are so beautiful I can't stand it. Pam made them herself in a workshop. It is made from rudraksha beads, a type of seed that safeguards the wearer from negative energy. It also includes a healing stone that I believe is cobra jasper, which helps to induce a meditative state.

I also love the hand designed moose card and your kind message inside, Pam. Thank you so much for these thoughtful gifts. I will get much good use from them and think of you with smiles.

Pat you guessed right, it's me, lol! I'm so glad you like the gift! When I saw your wish list I knew that mala was meant for you. I looked through the meditation book & am thinking of getting a copy to include in my sadhana.

Thanks to all who participated in the gift exchange

Hi Debbie,

I am glad everything arrived safe. Last time with Linda my parcel was intercepted by raccoons who ate the chocolate.

I chose to buy both dvds in the USA so they arrived on time. The Denise Austin dvd via Mary of TotalFitness who wrapped it for me and the Yin Yoga dvd I chose because there was a good review on Videofitness. I read a lot of Yin Yoga reviews to chose that one.

There is still an X-mas card on its way to you but from the Netherlands so I do not now how long it takes. I hope that arrives soon with you but I have no idea.
I love the idea that you think of me when enjoying one of the dvds.

Happy Holidays
