I spent the morning trying to find coffee. Every place I went was closed or no electricity. It is really hard to start a day without my wake up medicine.
I had a meeting at 11am in Patan with Rita, founder, and Janaki of Tewa. We reviewed the marketing plan, brochure, letter, and presentation for “The Tewa Center”. We made some minor changes and are ready to move forward.
After the meeting, Leslie and I went to Dhurbar Square Kathmandu and did the tourist stuff (or she did, since I have already seen it). We are still in search of a Kurti for Leslie, so we had to do some walking and I was in low blood sugar.
We stopped at the hotel yesterday to try and finalize my trip to Bhutan. I still have not been able to get my itinerary. Apparently they have not purchased the visa, since they needed my passport and airline confirmation. Interesting that they did not tell me this and it was only my initiative that I found out.
I had to go back to the hotel today (walked over an hour) to give them what they needed and now have to wait to see what is next.
I saved $500 but it is not worth the effort or aggravation. I have to stop worrying as Venerable Palzang would say. Can’t worry about what has happened or what may happen in the future. Enjoy the moment. Actually what he does say is the everything is impermanent and that you should eliminate attachment so you stop suffering and can be happy. He is definitely right. I am suffering over this decision.
I am working on finalizing the brochure and the other sales tools so that I can leave on Thursday feeling like I have accomplished my goal. There is a lot to do once I am gone and I hope the momentum continues.
I am half way through the last book of the Hunger Games and have seen most of the new movies. I guess it is time to move on.
Namaste, Paula
