Good Morning,
This is God
I will be handling
All of your
Problems today.
I will not need
Your help, so have
A miraculous day.

Life is filled with many unknowns. Our human condition, that which is our EGO (aka Edge God Out) wants us
to control what is not ours to control.

In our Yoga practice, we get to play with showing up with what is, becoming aware of our physical, energetic, emotional, mental and spiritual bodies, tapping into our breath and setting our intention.

In the letting go of control, we now have the power to be in flow, in alignment, and calibrated to the goodness that exists in the "what is". The beautiful nuance of being in challenge and discomfort in a yoga pose AND simultaneously softening and opening.

Let go and allow flow.

This requires us to free ourselves from our Egos which is one of the obstacles to true love, joy and peace.

Some thoughts

1. We can monitor our inner dialogue.How much of your thoughts focus on what's missing, the negative circumstances, the past, the opinions of others, comparing?
Once you become aware of your habitual dialogue, you now have the power to shift your thoughts to ones that support your intentions and raise your vibration.
2. When going through a struggle, remind yourself that the sun is shining behind the clouds. Have faith that the light is always there, you just cant quite see it.The clouds will pass, the sun will be uncovered
and it will shine again.
3. View obstacles as opportunities to practice the power of building your own palace of peace, detaching yourself from the circumstances, and experiencing yourself as the observer rather than the victim.
Our lives are always and ever changing,
a threading of experiences to support our evolution.
4. Get quiet. Meditate. In any way that works for you. Get out in nature. Breath the blissful air. Listen to your inner being. Know that you will receive the guidance and assistance you need. All of the answers are already within. Trust that the Universe is conspiring for you.
5. Show up and play in the sand box! Have fun! Seek happiness, hunt beauty and create perspectives that FEEL GOOD.

Today, for a moment, I was thinking of my life in Chapters.

How all of the shit I have been through could be the subtitles of the book of my life.

I started to imagine naming the chapters things like:

Chapter 1: Childhood Trauma

Chapter 2: The Lost Girl

Chapter 3: Single Motherhood

Chapter 4: Surviving Cancer

Chapter 5: Becoming a Widow

Chapter 6: The Parasite Latches On

and. so. on.

Like literally carve my eyeballs out with a dull fork.

I have walked through countless fires and some real dark shit.

I have hit rock bottom more than once.

But all of this language is that of a victim and in such low vibration.

Not even close to who I am.

So let's rewrite these same chapters.

Chapter 1: My Chosen Family

Chapter 2: The Adventures

Chapter 3: The Divine Intervention

Chapter 4: The Healing

Chapter 5: Love Never Dies

Chapter 6: The Only Way out is Through

There are dozens more chapters but here is my point.

I don't love all of the ways I needed to learn the lessons I have learned
or all of the ways I have received
the infinite gifts that I have received
and I am so Grateful
because through it all I still get to
write my own story and I get to be my own Hero.

My story is one of a fierce, graceful warrior goddess who knows how to sashay her ass through the fires of life and create magic.

Of a strong woman that is literally more powerful than
she ever thought possible
and that walks through fires without allowing the fires to be who she is.
I get to have these experiences so that they can act as contrast to the sweetness of the life that I am always creating:

My life is delicious, joyful, connected, wonder,inspired, amazement, exciting, divine, love, expansion and Freedom. 🙌🏼

And that's just the beginning.

I have so many more chapters to write and you better believe
they are going to be juicy with an undertone of fire. #writeyourownstory #fires #shift #plottwist #life #yoga #powerful #chapters #rise #iam #love #adhomukhasvanasana #silverlinings #gifts #thrive

Snakeskin & A Feather
.
I have men in my life that I have loved deeply and that have
made their transition "home"
.
One of them I only met once,
yet he had/has a huge impact on my life.
.
His name is Dr. Wayne Dyer
and if you have never heard of him you may want to read/listen to his amazing work.
.
He saw death as simply removing a garment
or moving from one room to another...as merely a transition.
.
Energy never dies, it simply transforms.
.
I can attest to this, as my late husband and my dad
show up in my life every day in so many beautiful ways.
.
The other day, they both showed up in my Yoga class
as a snakeskin & a feather.
.
To nutshell the backstory,
when my husband died I was
LEFT WITH 50 SNAKES.
.
A passionate hobbyist, he was breeding exotics in our basement in Vermont.
.
Yes, a story for another time
(and definitely with a cocktail).
.
My dad was a lover of birds & fishing. Growing up we had birds of prey as pets.
.
In his final months, he lived with me and when he was well enough to sit out back on a chair, he would delight at the osprey hunting the inlet.
.
So back to that day in Yoga. I was in downward facing dog
and spotted the feather behind my mat. In upward facing, I spotted the snakeskin in front of my mat.
.
Two beautiful love whispers, reminding me that my loved ones are not only just in the other room, but they were perhaps hanging in the same room?!
.
"Eternity is now. Right now, right here, you're an infinite being. Once you get past the fear of death as an end, you merge with the infinite and feel the comfort and relief that this realization brings" ~Dr. Wayne Dyer
.
I adore knowing that their eternal love is with me always.
.
It's in a whisper, it's a song, it's the breeze blowing through my hair...it's a snakeskin, and its a feather.

.
.
I woke up at 3 am and couldn't quite fall back asleep.
.
.
It wasn't something that I could pinpoint.
.
My mind started reeling.
.
My alarm, as it always is, was set for 4:30 am.
.
I fell back asleep for that last half hour,
.
and had some pretty vivid dreams.
.
Ohhh that Full Moon was messing with me.
.

Today I was "off". Not on my A-game, not on solid ground.
.
You know the feeling...
.
.
So I had a conversation with myself
.
I asked myself how I wish to feel and what I can do to tether myself back to that.
.
I want to feel present.
.
I want to feel centered.
.
I want to feel home within ME.
.
And so, I sat on the ground. I watched the glorious sun rise.
.
I deepened my inhalations and my exhalations.
.
I allowed myself to be where I was, not as a visitor, but part of the divine magic of the moment.
.
Realignment.
.
Like the moon, we have many phases.
.
Days when we are standing on solid ground...
.
days when we are wading in quicksand.
.
And baby, we are going to be
fine.
.
.
There are many ways to practice with me:
.
Group Yoga Classes, Private Yoga Sessions, Transformational Life Coaching Sessions, Yoga for your Special Event/Celebration
.
.

Often times my "sunrise" yoga class becomes a wonderful conversation with those who show up, perhaps hoping that no one else does, so we can sit, gaze at God's artistry and have an honest chat. I adore these precious moments, and call these sessions "talking yoga". We unpack whatever it is that needs unpacking. Its real, raw, often humorous, once in a while tearful, and its just plain good for the soul.
I am the woman that has zero patience for shallow small talk. Tell it like it is. Show me your soul, your struggles, your delights, your heart, and I will show you mine. No judgement. Today's covered topics were
Connection... it is a primal need for all humans. It also exists on a spectrum as we all desire and require it on different levels. True connection with myself and other beings is one of my deepest joys.
Alignment...are you living your life in alignment with who you truly are and living a life that you can call YOURS, or are you living it for other people? Which one of those things feels better? Have you even thought about your life in that context? Perhaps it is time.
Death...because none of us are getting out of here alive so if you are pussy footing around, cut it out right now and live on purpose.
Happiness....our happiness is our responsibility, and I believe it is our God given right. No one can give it to you, and no one can take it from you. (that would be co-dependency and whole other conversation). For me I want to be as happy as I can be, for as much of the time that I can be; and I also have to work at it because it is not my always natural state of being.
I am personally in the process of a major transformation. I am letting go of so many things...some by choice and some not. But nonetheless, 2022 is looking very different than the last decade(s) of my life. I am healing. I am evolving. And I am deciding, for myself for the first time in decades, how I want to live my life for me. It feels mighty strange, a little scary, and extremely delicious and exciting. I'm not sure I can even remember any other time in my life that I have had this opportunity. Game on! #yoga #yogalife #islamorada #connection #love #yogaoffthemat #❤️

My Why.
.
When I was a little girl, I never thought "when I grow up I want to move to the Keys and become a yoga teacher." . I was guided here by forces bigger than me, situations/events that led me to exactly where I am right now.  . The main trauma, if you will,  was the sudden & tragic death of my husband.  . I won't get into the details of that event, but I will tell you that from this, my business was birthed.  And, on many levels, so was I.  . Yoga was the medicine for my deep sorrow and gut wrenching grief.  . I was moved to share this practice  so that I could show people that they, too, could be their own guru, teacher and healer.  . Am I overwhelmingly thankful  for what led me to where I am now?
.
Hell no!  . Am I deeply grateful for the life that I created for myself as a way to survive and thrive through this experience?  . You bet!!  . I live with the daily brutal and beautiful awareness that none of us knows when we will take our last exhale.  . It is from that awareness that I try, every damn day, to live it as a precious opportunity and gift.  . So here I am, living in the Keys and doing what I never imagined I would ever be doing and loving every minute of it.
.
Even when all has gone "wrong", you can be taken to a destination unplanned yet wonderful.
.
The things you think you can't survive, you somehow divinely make it through.  .  I am oh so very grateful,  thankful, and in deep appreciation for your presence in my life.

Recent life has been a doozy. . On a personal level, my children and I have been on a viral rotation. I suffered a cough induced back injury that has been very humbling. It pained me to stand and walk.
.
.
I have let go of someone. Finally. 🙏🏼
.
. The one year anniversary of my Dad's death was
not acknowledged or experienced in the way
I wished it was due to all of the above.
.
.
Plans have been cancelled.
.
. My dog peed on my bed. All over everything.  My dryer broke when I overloaded it with the washed bedding.
.
. You get the idea.
.
. On a community level there has been much loss and grief.
. On a collective level...I can't even justify this with proper words. Suffering.
.
.
I often say that life is a play between joy and grief.  A constant letting go... .
. The contrast (the negative stuff) reminds us of how sweet life is  when it's not that.
.
.
How would we experience the light without knowing the dark?
.
. Threaded through all the muck has been beautiful moments, love, laughter, lessons, sunrises, sunsets, boat rides, good nourishing food, rest, reading, reflection and deep gratitude for wellness and resilience.
.
.
The always knowing that the attention can be shifted to what you are in deep appreciation for..moment to moment. Immediately, the vibration can be raised.
. Here it is….
.
I am alive, I am breathing, my heart is still beating, my children are both under my roof & healthy, my back is healing, my dad is with me every day in the form of an osprey, my dog is amazing despite the pee, the dryer repair man, Jason, is coming tomorrow and, I live in paradise 🌴 and did I mention I get to do what I am meant to do every damn day?! This is exciting!!!
.
I am blessed to have so many amazing people in my life.
.
.
Sending all of you so much love. xo
