Dear TAO Family and Friends,
I can't believe it's already February!
February, the month of Valentine's Day, is a good time to think of all the things you are grateful for: to focus on what you have, not what you don't and to focus on what you can do, and not on what you cannot. Let us build that loving feeling in our lives through a sense of gratitude.
In Mexico, Valentine's Day is referred to as "Dia de San Valentin". It is more popularly known as "El Día del Amor y la Amistad", meaning the “Day of Love and Friendship". The date of celebration is the same as the U.S date of observance, 14th February.
Mexicans attach a lot of importance to love and friendship. Hence, the day is an important occasion for them. It is traditionally a day when Mexicans profess love to their sweethearts. Those involved in a romantic relationship promise an everlasting love to their special ones. It is a time of celebration for unmarried lovers and married couples. As “El Día del Amor y la Amistad” is also about friendship, Mexicans use this day to express their gratitude and appreciation to their friends
This month a large group of owners will be visiting Havana in Cuba, I would like to thank all of the people that are going! You will have a great time. We will all look forward to seeing the photos and videos of your adventures.
Looking ahead to March we have some big events coming up including;
- 4th-8th March- Yoga, Dance and Intuitive Healing with Dr. Jennifer Kelly, a therapeutic and innovative blend of yoga, music, dance and intuitive healing
- 19th March 11am-5pm. Up close & personal photography by Cindy Skeie , a photo expo at the TAO Wellness Center
- 21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th March Tarot and Astrology Readings with Tegan, Practice opening you subconscious mind and interpreting patterns, symbols and elemental sequences of the tarot deck.
- 21st Equinox at Chichen Itza.
My quote of the month: The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds. And that's what you've given me. That's what I'd hoped to give you forever - Nicholas Sparks
