Nobody is Getting Any Younger...

...although I feel better than I have ever felt in my life!

Today marks my 31st natal day which is for myself, more of my "new year" celebration than Jan 1 tends to mark for others.

I woke up today feeling peaceful and light (well still full from last night's dinner, but you know what I mean!) and smiled as I started getting ready for the day feeling so thankful that I GET to spend my day passing on the path of yoga (and drinking Jamba Juice inbetween classes - see pic ;) . Cool in temperature with the sun shining brightly for me (the sun shines for us all!), I arrived at the first teaching location, opened the car door and inhaled the intoxicating aroma of the crisp air that is so much associated with the freshness of an Austin morning.

Today I am thankful and grateful for the experiences that have unfolded over the last year of my life. I cannot believe (yet again!) how much has happened and how far I have come, inside and out. I STILL wake up everyday, so thankful knowing how blessed I really am that I get to teach yoga for a living, meet many new and interesting people, traveling and sharing this joy in my life and get paid doing so. More than that, what really makes my ticker tick is the knowledge and understanding that *I* created this...I made this happen. A self fulfilled prophecy.

More and more I spend time being thankful and experiencing true gratitude for the way things are in my life. Even in darkness, although not perfect by any stretch, I try to hold this close to my heart...after all, that's where the REAL practice is... in difficulty.

So two more classes to go where we will spend our time upside down dancing on our hands, laughing and enjoying the fall, remembering our divinity... every day should be a birthday, or a RE BIRTH day. Each moment is yet another to remember our essence; to remember the light that is within. When its dark, the light is still there...Every day is another day that we could and SHOULD go through our experience offering the very best of who we are in and of service to all.

I Shall pass this way but once. Any good, therefore, that I can do or any kindness I can show to any human being, Let me do it now. Let me not defer nor neglect it. I shall not pass this way again. -Unknown
