"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world that they’ve been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It is an opinion. Impossible is temporary.
Impossible is nothing."

Happy New Year to you all.

New Year's Day at Dharma Yoga 
It is the New Year's Day tradition at Dharma Mittra Yoga to chant the Hanuman Chalisa from 8AM - 7PM.  Generally, it is led by Krishna Das and other kirtan leaders.  You can come and go as you prefer, stay for 15 minutes, stay all day if you like.  It's a great way to start the New Year. 
Free to all. Donations welcome.

Plastic Surgery /Breast Augmentation problems ...
Yeah, I know, this is an odd posting but I found this article in the NYTimes and I thought it was informative about a lot of the problems that come with this very common surgery. I find a lot of people are having cosmetic surgeries without thinking about what happens in 5 years. This article explains some of the potential problems, the alarming frequency of repeat surgeries and the financial burden (because insurance does not cover you if something goes wrong later). Doctors seem to not be stressing (or patients don't hear the warning) the fact that the implants inevitably deteriorate with time, and unless replaced every 5+ or so years, will lead to leaking and a host of other potentially serious systemic health problems.
