What a Year
I'm so happy you're here. Thank you for joining me on this journey. Today marks the 1 year anniversary of the official start of the pandemic in Colorado. I was in a Yin Yoga continuing education course for teachers the day before, it was a weird time and the uncertainty was looming. Being in a training felt sacred. I felt held and safe with my fellow trainees. We washed and sanitized to the best we knew how. We practiced and traced meridians and took care with one another, body, mind and spirit. This feels like a lifetime ago. This feels like yesterday.
The Stars
Have you looked up at the stars lately? What did you notice? Did you sit and breathe in the night air? Were you inspired? Distracted? Bored? Did you notice the twinkle. The wonder. The awe. A few weeks ago I was listening to Rob Bell’s podcast entitled the South Star (ep. 303). Rob has been a teacher of mine for some years now and each podcast houses major gems that I chew on for weeks, if not longer. This particular podcast or Robcast as he calls them, touched on the idea of a South Star.
Now we rest
I never wanted a blog. I know the pressure of producing on demand. Of the ‘grind’ culture we’ve all been indoctrinated into. I didn’t want the heat of a self-imposed or any type of timeline on my art. So I started a blog with the expectation of no expectations. It was a great idea until … I created expectations! It’s entrenched … It’s deep in my bones … Make more, do more, hustle more.
