So, we took a nice trip into Prince Edward Island, Canada. We camped & enjoyed the beauty of nature.

but somehow it just didn’t quite stir things up inside the way we Cooper-Ramakrishnas like it, so after my sister came back from India, I said to Glen, “I want to go to India…in December”.

Glen got his butt in gear, set up a Photography workshop  and is teaching the workshop in Mumbai end of November (too convenient). check it http://www.visualreportage.com. Glen style, it is working with NGOs (Non Government Orgs) to provide awareness to us all & the participants of the workshop. Amateurs & professional photographers are going.

The girls and I fly out to meet him after the workshop and we’ll see what comes of it.

Are we a mess like we were two years ago? Not quite, but in serious need of this creative one month sabbatical. I’ve personally lost my edge with the non profit work & need to find my next cause. I’m dead without my causes. Our marriage could use a little FUN into the mix instead of work, work, work, and oh, yes, I’m married to you, let’s spend time together.

Fun facts about this trip:

1. Our daughters are the same ages my sister & I were when we first traveled to India. 7 & 4.

2.It was 31 years ago, and I had not been back since. That trip messed me up in terms of how I viewed abundance; I could not understand the dissparaties & questioned why we had so much. But then went back to Venezuela & proceeded my greedy path. Out of sight, out of mind, as they say. So, human need has been out of sight for me & I need to bring it back into my consciousness.

3. We may go to an ashram.. that accepts children of course!

4. Like Panama, we think we know where we are going, but we are going to allow ourselves to be surprised. My mind won’t shut up and wants me to tell you that we want to go to:

From Mumbai to Goa

Goa to Bellary (& Hampi) were the fam lives

Bangalore (some cousins there, but may skip it)

Kerala - We want to see the beauty & may go see Amma (Hindu saint)

We have a month & are not sure if we will blog, but hope to post photos at some  point.

Why are we going? because the heart called & said go. The kids need to see how others live, I want to connect to my Indian heritage & family, Glen’s photography explodes (in a good way) after these trips… but mostly because the Heart called.
