Thank you - and Taking it Day by Day

First of all, I want to thank everyone who reads this, everyone who shared their love with me, every one of my students for being in my classes - every one for the constant support.

I am a mom. I am a wife. I am a sister. I am a friend. I am a woman. I am sad. I am human. I am me.

My sister's medical situation is just one of the ... let's say... not positive things in my life that came to light this week. I am dealing with what will potentially be a HUGE change in my life.  I am not ready to open up about it yet. But suffice to say this week presented challanges that will change me as a person.  And I am sad. Deep down inside I am sad.

My best friend told me she recently wrote a list of the things in her life that bring her happiness. In her darkest times  - she looks at the list - to remind herself she is luckier than most. She has a lot to be grateful for... and I do too. here is my list:


-My son, Ben.
-Greg, my husband
-My Mom
-My sister
-My best friend
-all of my friends
-Yoga
-Teaching
-My students
-My cats
-sunshine
-holidays - all of them
-travel - memories of all travel
-dreams of travel
-fudge
-glassy baby candles


I will take my life one day at a time. I will practice my yoga on and off the mat. I will breathe.  I will love.  I will be present. I will be grateful.  I will try. Every day, I will try.
