I love to dance however I don't make the time to do the things I love. Can anyone relate?
In any case I was going to dance with Jonathan Roth in Atlanta. After the Southern Women's show I was tired and had a lot of catching up to do, so I decided I was not going to go, however I did want to see the Dali Lama who was going to be in Atlanta at the same time. I thought this would be an incredible experience and I was excited about that....however I did not go.
Saturday morning I was sitting having breakfast with my husband and all of a sudden I thought about someone I know that lives in Georgia and I had not spoken with for some time. I wondered why I had not heard from Dana and almost like something moved me forward I got up in the middle of drinking tea and called Lady Dana. Lo and behold she answered the phone. Dana said that she was doing fine and had been hiding out for a while, but she was on her way to volunteer at Emory College for the Dali Lama. Wow....did I hear right? Yes indeed I did.
I told her that my plans were to go up there but I was tired, however I did want to see the Dali Lama. Then Dana said "I think I could make that happen?" Would you be interested in volunteering. I immediately said yes. Keep in mind I live in Florida and this is in Atlanta, Georgia.....that goes to show you when you really desire something you do not think about time or distance.
Dana said that she would call me back and she did...I was hooked up and was on my way to volunteer and see the Dali Lama.....for many people this might be a once in a life time experience. For me it was a miracle.
I packed my bags and off my husband and I went to Georgia. I got there at 1:00 AM and was up at 7:00 AM....and everything just fell into place perfectly. We attended a Summit on "Conflict and Peace building."
There were world religious leader from the major religions and they were all powerful speakers. I was overwhelmed with the passion and love that was there. All religions coming together for one common cause.....to create PEACE.....that is a miracle.
If you would like a taste of this incredible experience go to http://www.emory.edu/dalai_lama.cfm
What I realize was that I don't just look for miracles I listen for miracles as well.
Blessings and miracles to you all.

Lorraine,
You're absolutely correct. Miracles happen every day. Truly R.W. Emerson's quote "Once we make a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen", applies here.
In your heart, in the depths of your soul you desired to see the Dalai Lama and in collaboration with God, the universe conspired to make it happen. I'm so glad that I could be an instrument. So glad that even in our busy lives. If we're still, if we're present to the moment. A miracle will show itself. Be still and know and experience the miracle of life that everyday brings.
Blessings my dear friend and coach!
Lady Dana
