A Great Happening This Week

Good Morning, it is already Friday!  I read a fantastic article in the Sunday New York Times, regarding Meditation. My brain is like a Ferrari, and I crave to quiet myself . I have tried different meditation programs, bought many books, and I took a mindfulness meditation class in San Francisco for eight weeks. I  have to laugh, on the final day of my meditation class, we could not speak from 9-5, the lunch break was something I will never forget. We had to walk around in the dark and not look at anyone.  I ended up walking into a wall, and of course was laughing my head off.  I took my tiny peanut butter sandwich into the large dark room, sat down, and there were people lying on the floor. Next thing I knew , someone farted so loud, I threw the sandwich out, and wanted out of the place asap! It was like an animal farm.

The good news is , this past week, I found an incredible, visual and fun meditation site, it is called headspace.com. I love the man who guides it , he lives in England and his voice is just like Chris Martin’s from Coldplay. He is not touchy feely, he teaches executives, and the rest of humanity. I bought a year subscription, and I am on day five. I go out to the barn, light a candle and love love it. Please take a look at the website. Oh, the englishman, was also a buddhist monk, and has written a book which I hope to read this weekend. Namaste, Courtney . xoxooxxooxoxo

Today was a special day, Jessie gave birth to Graham Thompson Malin at 12:01 am. I am so excited and in awe , please notice that Graham has no wrinkles,  He is a beautiful angel and his dear mom, Jessie carried him so carefully and lovingly for these past nine months. I have always been so fascinated on a baby coming into this world.  I cannot wait to hold him, and smell him, and watch his little eyes open and close.  He is beautiful just like Mason, Jessie and Brent ,  I am so fortunate to have Keith, Jessie, Brent and Mason as my  family. Welcome to the world, Graham. Love, Grandma xooxoxoxo
