Welcome!


(Beautiful Thailand...taken by Me)





Hello and WELCOME to my blog, I am so glad you found your way here!

This blog is about all things related to health, wellness, the Arts, and life in NYC.


You may be wondering what "Bluer than Indigo" refers to. It comes from a writing of Nichirin Daishonin, a 13th century monk who created what is now Nichirin Buddhism (see SGI-USA.ORG  for more info on Nichirin Buddhism

The writing says, "From the indigo, an even deeper blue." This passage means that if one dyes something repeatedly in indigo, it becomes even bluer than the indigo leaves. So by continually striving to improve ourselves, we deepen who we truly are, coming closer moment by moment to our truth. It is in the continual efforts, day after day, that form the most magnificent, deep color blue that is deeper than the indigo leaves themselves.

Pretty profound stuff!

I hope you enjoy this blog and feel free to comment on the posts, it's always nice to know that someone else is out there...
