Greetings!
Thanksgiving is our favourite holiday of the year and we want to share with you our gratitude for the grace that guides us. Come to Sol Yoga Centres (in Crescent Beach or Ponoka!) during the first week of October and fill up on classes themed with extra juicy doses of thankfulness and appreciation. Let your yoga practise be a beautiful expression of how amusing and AMAZING the miracle of this life journey is. As the Buddha said.... Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn't learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn't learn a little, at least we didn't get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn't die; so, let us all be thankful.
yours in constant amazement, Marita and Doris |

Blue Ox Cafe Opens in October
Food Fit for Body and Mind
Excerpt from Red Deer Advocate Article
Most Ponoka residents should be familiar with the Blue Ox Restaurant. But only long-time members of the community are likely to recognize Doris Reich's name.
Reich opened the Blue Ox Restaurant with her brother and sister 24 years ago, developing the 4213 Hwy 2A eatery into a popular destination - especially for those with a hankering for steak or prime rib.
After Reich moved to Calgary in 1993 - where she operated another Blue Ox - the Ponoka restaurant was run by a series of owners. Reich eventually made her way to British Columbia, where she now owns and operates the Crescent Beach Sol Yoga Centre with her daughter, Marita Wieser.
In a happy convergence of circumstances, the most recent operator of the Blue Ox in Ponoka decided to close at about same time Reich and Wieser were pondering expansion of Sol Yoga to another location. The result is the Blue Ox Cafe & Sol Yoga Centre, which will combine nutritional as well as physical and emotional well-being under one roof. | |

| Gratitude by osho
Happiness is when there is no desire for something, just a gratitude for what is.
Then it is not a temporary state, because as long as you have gratitude,
you have happiness.
There has never been a person like you before, there is nobody else like you right now in the whole world, and there will never be anybody like you. Just see how much respect God has paid to you. You are a masterpiece -- unrepeatable, incomparable, utterly unique. Even the hardest heart, the rocklike heart, will start melting in gratitude. Tears will start flowing, tears of bliss and joy, tears which laugh.
This world has to be loved, this world has to be respected, this world has to be your temple, your mosque, your church. This world has to be your gratefulness, your gratitude. Enlightenment is not something of another world. Enlightenment happens now and here.
Just to be in such a beautiful existence is enough to be grateful. I know no other prayer than gratefulness ~ a deep gratitude to existence.
thanks for being you :) |
