Hot Tub Time Machine

This past week has been a staycation for me. It was so nice, I got some cleaning done around the house, took Kirby on lots of walks, and spent time reading and pampering myself. Ahhh. Part of that pampering experience involved chanting. I got an email through Hay House Radio on Krishna Das's new book and cd titled "Chants of a Lifetime." I admit that I did not really know who he was but there was a link to a song on his CD online and I absolutely loved it! I listened to it over and over again. You can download/listen to it at this promotional site. I ran out and gout the book and can't put it down. I've never thought about chanting as a way to peacefulness, but for me it works better than mantras during meditation. First, I had to get over myself since it sounds a little silly -- but luckily Chris is the only one who hears me. :)

So this week is about new beginnings for me. And to live in the present moment I'm going to surround myself with laughter. On the Secret movie, one of the stories is about a woman with cancer who surrounded herself with positivity and laughter by watching funny movies. So, this weekend I'm going to see Hot Tub Time Machine. JW and I have been talking about it for a couple of weeks because we can't wait, this Friday it opens. If you are in Madison and want to join in let me know. :)

Hope you have a wonderful week!
