Meeting Spot
It is always an honor to see groups of people meet at the guest house. I traditionally rationalize in my mind that it is coincidence or some sort of stroke of luck that people end up connecting with others while visiting the guest house.

Hearing Real Stories
I find it difficult to even remember what I did yesterday, but here is a quick attempt at everything that is going on as of late. The months of October and November at the guest house were crazy! Things have tapered off quite a bit in December. January will pick up a lot – so…
