farewell

Filed Under new paths | Leave a Comment

in just 2 short months, i gained so much with janine as my manager at lululemon…

on her last day she gave me a hug and said…

“the only thing i would say is that you set your goals too far away. i say that to you specifically because it’s not going to take you that long.”

it’s an amazing feeling to have someone other than my parents to:
1) believe in me
and…
2) tell me so

This is lululemon’s January ad, which I think is funny…

I also *love* it because, just like Obama, yoga is all about taking action for change…

Anything is possible, but you can’t sit back and expect someone else to do it – you’ve got to act. Action brings progress and change. We’re all in it together, with a phenomenal leader. Let’s go for it!

I went for it. And I love it. And it’s perfect. And I’m so happy. Before & after…

i live somewhere where the air is fresh and fog is a consistent presence. there are beautiful trees just a short distance from my modest home, with a small barn out back, perhaps big enough for one or two horses. it is a short drive to the city. my husband and two children, one boy and one girl, sit outside in the hammock under the trees contemplating life or creating home-made plays which they perform for me on weekends. our home is soft, fresh, clean, cozy, beautiful and understated. there are bright pink flowers growing in the yard, a small vegetable garden with corn growing in it and perhaps a strawberry patch. family photographs line the hallways of our home and show us all enjoying frequent excursions to places both near and far. my extended family isn’t too far away.
my movement studio is thriving, offering a variety of classes that stimulate the mind-body-spirit connection. i teach several classes per week and strive to provide a space for community and growth. i spend at least two days at home with my family and frequently help my kids with their homework. i spend one night per week on a date with my husband where we get out of the house without the kids.
i get outside to enjoy nature at least once per week, where i am able to sit or walk alone allowing time for reflection and meditation. we take two vacations per year, one as a family and one as a couple. at night, a cat is always there purring beside me. together as a family we strive toward greener living and we spend time talking about current events. i am lucky to have friends both near and far with whom i am in frequent contact.

we don’t get everything we want, but this might be what my life would look like in ten years if we did.
