Hula Hoop Queen

So, since I now have a swimming pool to swim laps in everyday and do water aerobics in, I figured I'd purchase a hula hoop to augment my daily yoga and put some emphasis on my waist. After all the first lady, Michelle Obama does hula hoop. Why shouldn't I?

I figured it was just like riding a bicycle, once you have the distinction balance, you just hop right back on that bike no matter how long it's been and off you go.

WRONG!

I cannot for the life of me twist myself enough to keep the damn thing up. It falls to the ground after one twist. I can only imagine this is what a limp dick feels like to some of the fellas out there. Just can't keep it up.

Well, now I am challenged. I will find the viagra of hula hoop or my name isn't Laurie Handlers!

Prophets vs Profit

Well, I almost split a gut yesterday after receiving an email from the Prophets Conference about a trip to India, a tour of the south actually.

I happened to notice that the tour was interesting incorporating 4 ashrams and the spiritual teachings of some great masters. I decided to check it our further. I read all that was advertised and saw that the tour is exactly the length of the tours I run in India. The places are different, but some of what happens is basically the same. I instruct basic Tantric meditation techniques when I bring people on tour plus Latihan and surrender. I bring them to major sites in the middle part - the Heart of India.

I sent a couple of emails to the group to find the price they were charging because I got interested in what they might be making for the very same amount of time that I bring people. Well, when I finally got to the correct spot on their site I almost had a cow which for India is a sacrilege. I choked.

The Prophets are making the profits, Baby!

Never again will I be concerned about what I charge people. Really.

Here's the comparison:

THEIR COSTS WITHOUT AIRFARE:
$4615 (greeting at Chennai airport and transfer to hotel is included)

MY COSTS WITHOUT AIRFARE:
$2200 (greeting at Delhi airport and transfer to hotel is included)

You do the math. WTF was I thinking?
