The day before the rest of my life...

Tomorrow I board a plane and head to Oracle, Arizona. What will I find there, who will I meet, how will I absorb all that is taught me?! I started on this journey almost one year ago when I began taking classes in Saskatoon, SK. My friend and mentor reached out to me after several sessions and told me she felt moved to see if I felt a calling to teach. What an understatement; I have flet a calling to teach all my life!! But, was I being called to lead someone on their own personal spiritual journey while practicing some amazing yoga? I first had to reawaken my spiritual journey before I could turn to assist others. Which leads me to.. the day before the rest of my life!!
I will be disconnected from technology while on retreat at the C.O.D ranch, so no updates while I am there of my progress, but I am really excited to see how transformed I am when I am through. I am, however, under no circumstances implying that my journey or my transformation will be complete after 8 days in the desert!! My life course is changing and I am scared, excited, entralled and intimidated. These past 8 weeks of webinars have given me a glimpse of what's to come, but I am sure I will be overwhelmed with the enormity of it all once there and fully immersed.
I have done my best to prepare, but will put it in God's hands that I am ready to receive. Thank you all for your prayers, guidance and support along the way. I couldn't be the woman I am or the one I hope to become without you!

Quotations that spoke to me today

After only a few short hours of sleep, I am awake and ready to spend a little time on my mat this morning. We had an amazing Holy Yoga class last night and I can't wait to transfer some of this energy; both muscular and organic, into my practice today. Why is it that we can't feel this enthused all the time?! These next 6 weeks are simply going to fly right by and I have so many goals to achieve, things to get organized and miles to travel until the time arrives. Can I do it?! Doubt is creeping in, but if I simply breathe and allow God to take over I know it will happen.

I found these two quotes this morning, they are not scripture and I don't know who said them, but they spoke to me today... are they saying anything to you?!

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond imagination. It is our light more than our darkness which scares us. We ask ourselves – who are we to be brilliant, beautiful, talented, and fabulous. But honestly, who are you to not be so?"

"You are a child of God, small games do not work in this world. For those around us to feel peace, it is not an example to make ourselves small. We were born to express the glory of God that lives in us. It is not in some of us, it is in all of us. While we allow our light to shine, we unconsciously give permission for others to do the same. When we liberate ourselves from our own fears, simply our presence may liberate others."

God Bless

Wordless Wednesday.... it's back too ;-)

I'm back.....

Wow! In re-reading my last post from 2009, I can not now take this opportunity to apologize for being away for 3 weeks as it has been 17 months since I have last written :-( It is not because I do not love y'all; I just got sidetracked, waylaid, and/or rerouted in my efforts to check in!! I am sure you know the phrase..."Life happens while you are making other plans!"

I believe Facebook actually took over my computer time as I became more involved in viewing other friends and family's pages while updating my own status on a far too regular basis. I am always trying to learn and grow and I believe FB has many amazing good qualities (just like chocolate and wine), but I have consumed too much. I really like the personal nature of my blog and want to reconnect to the intimacy of just talking to YOU versus my myriad of Facebook Friends.

Time management has become more and more important in my life as the kids get busier, life gets crazier, and Dennis begins traveling again (to CHINA). I find that I am trying to continually carve a new niche for myself as I never want to stop growing or learning - EVER.

Holy Yoga is my new passion and I have never felt more complete - what a blessed calling!! My new accountability partner, the lovely Liv, in fact, is the one who brought my attention back to my much neglected blog. Thank you!!

Speaking of the Fall, I have some amazing adventures ahead - truly, amazing, really, truly, AMAZING!!! I can't wait to share my thoughts, reflections, anticipations, anxieties, joys, trials and everything in between!! In the past, I would back track and fill in days, events, items I had missed, but I feel the need to only look forward for now. Once I get on a roll and am posting regularly, I may add some things that impacted my life, made me proud, or just brought a smile to my face - you'll have to stay tuned to find out!!

As always, thank you for being part of my journey. I appreciate the time you set aside to spend with me. Love, love and more love...
