Dear Readers:

"Travels With Sheila" is becoming more sophisticated and entering new dimensions (for me) - streaming video in the near future, e-books, travel consultations and Webinars. ex-Marine (husband, Steve) and I just returned from Eastern Tibet and attended a rather strange Tong Ren festival, only held once a year. In the past, participants skewered themselves through cheeks and backs while the main Shaman slashed open his face. Anticipating this gory display, I broke down a bought a camcorder. Alas, the Head Lama decided..."this is not a good thing for people to do"...duh....and there was no skewering this year. Just as well. The thought of sticking what looked like shish kabob skewers through cheeks gave me the heebie-jeebies, but I still have some great video of this trip. As soon as I learn how to edit, etc., you'll see it. Fortunately, I've gotten as far as actually loading the film clips on my computer! Making progress here!
