Nice email sent by Janette from Veronica's Ashtanga's course July 2006
Hi Dave,
Just wanted to let you know that i arrived home safely.
It was the most wonderful feeling to see my husband and children again.
Raphael said that my eyes were shining and Charlie my 16 year old told me
that i had a wonderful glow!
I have been fixing things in the garden and a couple of hours ago we decided
to have a yoga session so Raphael, myself, Tiger and Aden were all in the
garden doing yoga, chanting and omming and it was hysterical and wonderful
at the same time.
It brought tears to my eyes remembering how much Veronica taught me.
Thank you thank you thank you for a wonderful week and i will e-mail you
soon with my thoughts on my past week as promised.
Take care my friend and be well.
The karma CD is amazing! But i still want that Indian music cause it's in my
head and it reminds me of my wonderful friends!
Send my love to Veronica.
XXXXXXXXXXXXX Janette.
