At first glance, it may seem as though the quotes I've pasted in below are about yoga in general, but I also think these yogic lessons apply to the generous, sharing, free-spirited warmth of Lil Omm. And a quote-list echoes the "Reflections" cubby hole for colorful slips of paper that you maintain in the Lil Omm front room. Those cubby holes for slips of paper remind me of the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem. I have a feeling that the reflections people write in your front room are cheerier than the slips of paper that Wailing Wall visitors in need of succor tuck into the dusty, crumbly crevices of the ancient Wall in Jerusalem.

I wouldn't have looked back at this quote collection if you guys hadn't suggested that we submit reflections in honor of your first year anniversary, and this is one of many ways that Lil Omm has supported my yoga and meditation practice. For example, now that I have this list of quotes cut-and-pasted into this email, I'm going to incorporate the quotes into my meditation practice because I'd forgotten that they rock! I hope other clients of yours will use them too if they meditate, or they could just tape them to the dashboard in their car, or the inside of their kitchen cupboard, or above their baby's changing table.
