“Where can we find light in the never ending shade?”

In the pause

and by being present.

I had a beautiful magnolia tree in my front yard as a child.

Appreciating when they bloom every year- is a tradition for me.

Growth and transformation isn’t linear.

Getting out of the cocoon is tough.

“The head doesn’t hear until the heart has listened”

Take time to listen with your heart.

Another yoga thing… AND, as usual, it applies to life off your mat.

Grounded was another of my words for 2021.

I have been intentionally grounding the last two weeks.

We get to choose how we want to show up for this moment in time.

"We can make ourselves miserable or we can make ourselves strong. The amount of work is the same."

“Maybe the journey isnt so much about becoming anything. Maybe it is about un-becoming everything that isn’t you so you can be who you were meant to be in the first place.”- anonymous

If you can find abundance and love in this moment,

It will serve you well going forward.

I was inspired to share this after a conversation with my dear friend and colleague Dr. Ni-Cheng Liang last week.

I had a down day the day we spoke.

She encouraged me to share my down day.

"One coaching session with you was more valuable than 4 sessions of marriage counseling."

This comment made me truly, deeply happy.

Feeling hope and peace inspires me into action. Opens my brain to creativity

My heart to connection. Tapping into hope, peace, connection and inner wisdom is what led to my transformation.

It led to choices that reflected hope. Of a life not yet seen.
