| Soon to Be Spring Greetings!
We have weathered the storm(s) and have literally dug ourselves out from under the snow. Spring is in our reach. Even if the snow decides to continue to trickle in - Spring is only a few weeks away. It’s time now to get back in the flow !
With the energy of the Olympic games coming to a close perhaps we can take inspiration from the tremendous atheletes who persevere no matter what the obstacle. We all know that a huge part of what helps bring us to greatness is our mental capacity to never give up. Stay connected to your “resolution” or commitment that you have made for yourself this year. We all have set backs and times that challenge our ability to stay dedicated to our personal goals – it’s what we do with these set backs that matters. See below for some March inspiration from us to help us all stay connected as we make this transition through the seasons.
Namaste,
The Tribe at Ananda Shala

Our hearts to out to the victims of the earthquake in Chile.
In February we were able to raise $500 for the Haiti earthquake and matched over another $500 to donate a total of $1008 to Doctors Without Borders. Thank you to those who participated and donated with either heart or wallet. We know that our donations are going to a good cause. If you wish to make any further donations to Doctors Without Borders for either Haiti or Chile – we are able to take that donation at any time and pass it on.

“WILD GEESE”
by Mary Oliver
You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Tell me about your despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.
