I visited Aubrey's website and was amazed at what an incredible, spirited artist she is. She posted some pretty simple yet profound advice for living on her blog...I will share them with you.
The heart wants the past, the mind wants the future, and the ego wants the obstacles.
When we find joy within, our outside reflects that joy
Basing your life on words is very superficial.
Silence is the goal of all answers. If an answer does not silence the mind, it is no answer
Only Silence is complete
Smiling with all the existence is Silence
Purpose of words is to create silence.
When you make service the sole purpose in life, it eliminates fear of others and gives you meaning
Love is not an emotion, it is your very existence.
When you love someone, you see nothing wrong with them, when you love someone, you want to see them always happy and you want them to have the best.
Love is the highest strength, yet it makes you absolutely weak
Love cannot tolerate distance, and hatred cannot tolerate nearness.
When there is Love, there is no ego
In the company of one who is living Love, you also can’t but spring into that Love.
Love is that phenomenon of dissolving, disappearing, merging, becoming one with.
Love is the phenomenon of total letting go.
The seers, the seen, and the process of seeing all merge. The knowledge, the knower, and the known, they all merge, become one & that is Divine Love
God is the Seer himself. Who sees—that is God
God is love. Being in love is sharing that love.
Knowledge is a burden if it does not set you free.
When you follow fun, misery follows you. When you follow Knowledge, fun follows you.
For one who has awakened in knowledge, there is no more suffering.
Do not say that you want to surrender. Just know that you already are surrendered.
A person who cannot surrender cannot be self reliant
The greatest power is in surrender, surrender to the Divine.
Meditation erases the impressions and improves the expression
Break through the barrier of the rational mind and find freedom for yourself
Freedom is your very nature. Only with freedom do joy, generosity and other human values blossom
Just an intention to be free makes you immediately free.
Discipline protects freedom. You can choose to focus either on freedom or discipline, and this makes you happy or unhappy.
Have respect for the Self and no one can take your self respect
Someone does not need to be great in order to be respected. Respecting life makes you great.
Ego is separateness, non-belongingness
The head level is safe for the ego. The heart level breaks the ego. The soul level dissolves the ego
You are total. You are full. You have all that you need. Do not underestimate yourself.
You are Divine. You are part of me. I am part of you.
Emergency. Please spread the word, post to your FB Wall, tweet: Boulder’s Aubrey Sacco missing in Nepal.
by elephantjournal.com on May 12, 2010
Update via Greeley Tribune: “If my daughter doesn’t show up on that plane,” Paul Sacco said, “I’m leaving Sunday to go get her.”
Every Hour Counts: Boulderite and Colorado native Aubrey Sacco, 23, is missing in Nepal after failing to contact her family after a solo, week-long trek in the region of Langtang.

A Facebook group has been created for Aubrey.
Aubrey is a yoga instructor, artist, and 2009 graduate of the University of Colorado. She has been traveling through Nepal, India and Sri Lanka to help further her yoga skills while volunteering at schools and teaching English, including at Pranava Yogadhama Trust in Mysore, India.
Aubrey began her trek on April 20 after arriving in Shyabrubesi by bus from Kathmandu. She planned on following the Lonely Planet guide and was scheduled to return on or around April 30, but her family has not heard from her since her check-in at Dhunche on April 20. Although strikes in Nepal may hinder abilities for her to reach people outside of the country, the nine days since her anticipated return in which she has gone without speaking to her family is raising considerable concern.
Connie Sacco, Aubrey’s mother, says she has received conflicting information from news sources in Nepal and the embassy.
“The Nepal News believes that the stranded tourists have returned,” Connie says. “But the Office of Citizen Services, a government agency, says that there are still many stranded tourists and truckers in the country.”
Connie and her husband, Paul, have been on the phone and answering e-mails almost constantly in efforts to find their daughter.
Agencies in Nepal as well as the US Embassy have been contacted and are working to find Aubrey. Connie says that the response to Aubrey’s disappearance has been overwhelming.
“Everyone has been really helpful and we’ve gotten a lot of response,” Connie tells us. “We need to keep networking and letting people know that Aubrey is missing. If anyone feels like they’ve seen her, they need to let us know where that might have been.”
