Summer weather, summer rolls…. Awesome except I’m just a day
late. Just
Bizarre to say the least that January 30th was 65 degrees, but hey
I’ll take it.
Seems as if we just teleported to the closing of January.
Ah, the excitement of January and new years resolutions. Have you taken the
time to evaluate what you would like to bring into your life? We all know to bring in the new, we have to
let go of the old. The old is referring to ‘what no longer serves us’. How can you
make space for new passions, goals, or possibilities? What steps can you take
to walk that specific path? One of the top reasons I appreciate my yoga
practice is, that when I awake from shavasana, I set an intention to rebirth.
Every day is another chance to get back on track: be gentle, understanding, and
fill up with happiness.
