Hey Guys... So lately I have been thinking about looking where you are going. Literally and figuratively....
I recently went to a yoga core workshop in Portland with Kathryn Budig, wich was amazing by the way. And we were working on jump thoroughs. (when you jump from down dog swing your legs between your arms to sitting on your bum) And besides all the core strength it takes you also gotta have your eyes looking where you want to end up (infront of your hands). Surprisingly as soon as you look up where you want to go it becomes that much easier. ( I am still less than graceful)
As the same with riding horses especially Barrel Racing, if you are not looking where you want to be during your run trust me you are not going to end up there. I have also realized this technique is true with driving; while driving the California coast all the windy roads that are on top on abrupt cliffs you need to keep both eyes in the road at ALL times.
Now for the more figuratively point... my last year has been one hell of a ride since finishing my Moksha Yoga Teacher Training last June. I have accomplished more and gone farther then I thought possible in a year. By keeping my eyes open and looking ahead and just kept going forwardno matter what curve balls came my way.
If you are not looking forward at what you want to do or where you want to be you become stagnant, stale even. Even just small things, maybe you already have the dream life that you want which is sweet and you should be proud of yourself for getting there. But if you don't continue to grow to look forward and move toward it even your dream life can become still. So even something as little as reading more, or learning to meditate can help you keep growing.
But if you don't set goals and keep your eyes open and looking ahead you may find yourself getting stuck half way in your jump through or driving off the side of the road......
Sending Love and Light From Cali

Rebirth
So its been a lil while since I posted, you know how life gets a crazy sometimes....
So its time to post. There has been a lot of different topics rollin around in my head lately. A lot about death and rebirth and not in necessarily the physical way, but even just changes in life. The past week I moved out of my apartment in the city and back in with my parents for the summer till my house is ready. Giving up my apartment in the city was tougher than I thought it would be. The convenience of work being closer and your own privacy is tough to live with out. This was a decision I didn't totally get to choose, but its easier to save money when you don't have to pay rent and I couldn't afford to stay in city for the summer as I am also going away for a month. So there was this death of my city life that I have had for the last 2 years and a rebirth of getting back to nature. So even though I didn't get to make the decision fully I feel as if I am ready to get back to fresh air and green every where.
I was having a conversation with my Granny this week, she is getting some trees removed because the had died. The guy at the tree removal company said that those trees lived along time considering their short life span. I was kind of taken aback the trees had designated life spans like humans.... But it shouldn't be surprising at all actually every living thing has a life span. I had just never thought of it before. But my Granny said something really true... Everything has to die eventually to make room for the rebirth.
Even though you don't always get to make the full decision on whats happening in your life remember its just making room for something greater. Even though I moved out of my apartment I am moving to a better place and getting back to my roots. And the trees may have died but they will make room for new flowers, new life.
