I’ve been toying with the idea of yoga since I got into the “self-help” arena. I know so many who say that yoga is a great way to connect to the body and to feel. I picture everyone in their cute outfits, chanting “ohm” and breathing. Changing position every so often. Feeling relaxed, connected, grounded and centered when you leave.
So my opportunity came. I met a mom of one of my kid’s friends…is there a name for that? You’re not quite friends, but you are by default because your kids are in the same class. Mom-friend? There should be something way cooler than that, because it’s a really unique relationship. Anyway… she invited me to join her after I talked my journey thus far and she asked if I tried Yoga. “No, but I want to” and this anxiety ridden day was born.
I’ve recently been trying to find extra ways to supplement my income. I’ve done a lot of research and have found things that worked and did not work for me.
I admit, I never had one doubt that Hilary would win. It never even crossed my mind that Trump COULD win, or even be close. How could someone so with so many heinous actions and accusations against him, win America’s vote? My shock and horror watching last night’s results come in remind me of how I felt watching the twin towers blazing and fall to the ground on 9/11. I was speechless, afraid, horrified and angry. How could this happen? Am I safe? Are my kids safe? What is going to happen to our future? What will I tell my kids? Is our country not what I thought it was? I even cried (over an election?) because of the disappointment in our collective values. It made me question whether we are moving forward in our collective consciousness or if everyone is still on the hamster wheel of life.
Have you ever been in a funk you couldn’t get out of? It’s exhausting, draining, toxic on you and everyone around you. Everyday feels like a rainy, dreary day. It’s been too long since you felt excited about something. I have felt this way for over two months before. It took someone hitting me over the head with some real self examination at my habits to discover how to get myself out of the funk!
So I googled it.
