...to me! Yes, this month is my birthday. And while many women do
not wish to share their age, I will happily tell you that I am going to
be 43 and feel better than I did even in my 20's - and it's all because
of my yoga practice and my students, who constantly remind me why I am
teaching this healing practice.
I find this time of year an interesting educational time for
myself. As May flowers bloom and temperatures soar, I know that my
birthday is arriving soon - and anticipation swells inside me. As a
child, my parents always made big deals out of birthdays and as a young
adult, so did my friends. As an adult (whatever that means), I find
myself gearing up for a big event, only to realize that it is just
another day, really. Of course there are flowers from my husband and
usually a nice gift from my mother (when I should be the one giving her a
gift on this day!), but the pomp and circumstance has long fizzled out.
As my birthday wanes, I find myself asking why I "go there" every
year? Is it my ego needing validation? My heart chakra looking longing
to be loved? But as the questions build and my mind goes a flurry, I
suddenly remember to BREATHE. I take that long, deep breath out and
smile because life is good. In fact, ALL is good. After I breathe, I
feel the gratitude again and reconnect with my spirit.
With all of our amazing students at One Yoga Centers, I have
actually reached a point where there are some students that I have never
met. None-the-less, you are all family to me, and in honor of my own
Birthday, I would like to extend an offer to put your birthday on our
website calendar! So, if you would like to have your birthday listed on
the calendar, please email me with your name, month and day of your big
day, and we can all celebrate together every year, knowing that the One
Yoga community is sending you good vibrations in commemoration of your
birth. So if I haven't mentioned it before, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you!
