		<description>Thank you for sharing your photos with us!  They are wonderful.  I was one who got a DVD for Christmas- beyond the green box.  I watched it at my parent's house amidst all the commotion- and made many changes to the settings on my camera already!  I am going to watch again here at home in the quiet!!  And I am definitely ordering DVD 1 now, too!!
If you are wondering about what to do about DVD 3, it would be awesome to learn more about different lenses and what they can be used for.  Also, the craziness of lighting.  It seems confusing to me!</description>

		<description>I've been traveling in India and China the past few weeks.  My trip to India was AMAZING but somewhat emotional at times.  

Never in my life have I encountererd the kind of poverty I saw on the streets of India.  I'll never forget walking back from the Taj (probably one of the most breathtaking pieces of architecture I'll ever see), and seeing a group of children with polio sitting on a pile of trash.  The two scenes side by side would jar even the most detached of persons, but for me- it broke my heart and I began to cry. 

Over the next several days, I carried this picture with me and couldn't help but constantly ponder how I might help even one of these children.  Several days later in Goa I finally found a way.

My spirits were lifted as a group of children caroled at our hotel. The smiles on there faces as they sang of Christ's birth represented everything I love about Christmas- the joy, the hope, the love that's always there despite any eartly challange faced.  I cried again (LOL) except this time it was tears of joy because as it turns out, these children were being ministered to by a Christian outreach program that gives shelter and vocational training to at risk and improverished children in India.  I gave a little to their cause and received so much in return.  

I'll cherish this Christmas memory for years to come.  It humbled me and reconnected me to a spirit I needed to find, and as I say with my family for Christmas dinner in Shanghai I was ever more grateful for each and every blessing I'd been given.  I only hope that I continue to find ways to pay it forward.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.  

Hugs,
