Five Days till the Magic Begins...

Greetings everyone! It is Dave at the Ideal Hotel. Well, our biggest event of the year, the 1st Annual Sit-A-Thon (http://redlotussociety.eventbrite.com/), is just days away and it has been a joy to see how the event has evolved over the past three months. My instinct tells me that Saturday is going to one very special day for ALL of us. It has been wonderful to operate RLS's booths at the recent fairs and see how well the event is being greeted.

My ego would like to say that this success is the result of our planning and promotional skills but my heart knows the truth...this event is going to be a huge success because of YOU. It is the open heart and mind that each person carries allowing this event to happen. This can be found in many forms from the courage of a first-time meditator participating to the energy of a volunteer willing to help out to the understanding and wisdom of a meditation leader. It is so beautiful how all these energies come together to fuel this extraordinary occasion.

In these final days leading up to the event, there are of course many last second things crossing our minds..."should this be here or there?", "should the sign say this or that?", etc. However, I realize that many of these final details are insignificant now because what is really going to make the day so special is the loving energy present - not the number of massage therapists, media coverage, or even the money raised. It is our willingness as individuals to surrender ourselves to something greater that connects us all, whatever that may be. It is our ability to let go of any thoughts, judgements, or perceptions that may restrict us from living in beautiful Peace, realizing that by accepting another, we are really accepting ourselves.

I look forward to sharing this energy with each of you. See you on Saturday.

Peace.
