Strength = (Kristal)

It's been far too long since I have blogged!  Today I am moved by the topic of Strength!

Yoga helps me to find that personal power... and I get messages from students and friends all the time about it too.  Today I want to talk about a very special student though....
My amazing student, friend, teacher trainee, teacher - Kristal.

When I interviewed Kristal for a spot in the hauteyoga QA teacher training - I KNEW right away she had this 'Personal Power' - This 'Internal Strength' - She almost glowed. Really.  She is one of those people who walks into a room and sparkles.

Kristal was diagnosed with breast cancer about two weeks into the program. Never have I seen her strength waiver. This is her third round of cancer. She continues to look at life as opportunity and growth. She finds strength in places other people would crumble.

I looked into Kristal's eyes last night - before she took my power vinyasa class - a class that WELL people struggle with - and all I saw was her shining light.  She inspires me to greatness. She inspires me to have strength and personal power. She inspires me to appreciate every day. Appreciate every thing.

Kristal will have a mastectomy tomorrow. Pray for her - send her YOUR strength. Think of her - and allow her to inspire you to find your personal power.

I love you Kristal. You are AMAZING.
