What's in a name?
My birth name is Amy. I lived in a spiritual community for 4 years where I studied yoga and meditation. During that time, my teacher gave me the Sanskrit name "Kamala". Kamala means "lotus". It is also another name for the Hindu Goddess Lakshmi. I love both my names, and many of you know me by one or the other, and there's a little explanation of how my names have come about if you were wondering...
