Thanks go out this week to Cecilia Garcia for cleaning our kitchen and making it shine! She and her husband Alberto just moved here from Florida where they attended and volunteered at Thubten Kunga Ling Center. Cecelia popped in for Lunch Bunch where we all had a lively time, then asked how she could help. Thanks for making our Center tidy and we all welcome you both to Raleigh!

The light is green, no one is moving and just up head you see the sweet waddle of geese crossing the road. Been there? While it’s nice to see everyone waiting patiently for the family to get to the other side (all chicken jokes aside,) have you ever wondered why they don’t just fly to get to the vacation spot of choice?...
