It is incredible to think I was terribly, terribly sick in this photo, for when I see it, all I remember is the great joy and love I felt on this day.
After a night of violent vomiting I was weak in bed, half-watching strange Indian television, when Shyamdas came in to check on me. He sat on the side of the bed, along with Carla and Bettina, and held my hand, made me laugh and told me I must find the strength to hike with them today to a very special place. Somehow I did. And that afternoon at the Jain temples, in the gorgeous golden sun and clear, blue skies, I was surrounded by a sense of love and peace that is still very much with me.
Thank you, Shyamdasji.

This time last year, I was experiencing the Taj. It’s incredible to think it’s only been a year since my life changed forever in India. Jai Sri Krishna.
The purest, most magnificent love surrounded us.
Radhe! -

Missing India. Daily. -

I miss summer. And biking. Biking in the wrong direction on Wythe late one afternoon, screaming with AE, “I’m afraid to love!” while laughing hysterically.
Clearly, we were not afraid to love afterall. -

For me, one of the best feelings in the world is getting up early, on a windy, wild morning (like this morning) getting into the car with someone I love, stopping for coffee and heading out on an adventure. That, quite simply, is my pure bliss. -
Watch As My Cousin Falls in Love
The Bachelorette continues with another week of cheesiness that has me hooked simply because my contestant cousin is killing it. No surprise — he’s a great guy, as you can see.
Leave it to Ben to be the first dirty-stay-out of the season arriving back to the house the morning after his date. Winning! If you missed it (and how could you!) here’s a pretty hilarious recap to bring you up to speed on the show’s need for a helicopter. And speaking of winning, I don’t believe Ben will actually be winning this show — sad for a broken heart—but I can see ABC offering him the spot of the Bachelor next season.
Of course Ben would bring in a ton of viewers, but really, being the star of a reality TV show is a bit of a life-ruiner… but then again…
