What better way then to start off the year but with New Year Gongyo at our local SGI Activity center. This was the first time I’ve been this center so I really didn’t know what to expect, but once I saw a few familiar faces I quickly settled in and it felt like I was going there for years.

As the title of this post suggests, a “Year of Advancement and Victory” is the theme for 2007. Very appropriate and one I can relate to on a personal level. Several members share wonderful experiences and being the beginning of the New Year many also shared their determinations. I always find these very motivational and comforting.

What also made today extra special was that I took a guest along to this meeting, a good friend of mine whom I hope will embrace this practice. I have a pretty good feeling that he will.
