I am still amazed at myself when I look at the photos. I have grown so much as a yoga teacher and person in the last 2 1/2 years since I was handed my 200 Hour Certification at Kripalu Center. I would have never pictured myself doing this work 4 years ago when I was slaving for a non-profit agency with no personal rewards in retrun. Just having our weekend, I felt so many people coming alive to who they are and being challenged to come out of their comfort zones. Imagine what we can do in a lifetime!!!
Last weekend's challenges fed into this weekend's as I moved from Cambridge to Somerville and it took every last ounce of energy I had. I really appreciated family stepping up to the plate for assistance and working together as a group to make this happen. I am truly blessed for all I have and I never take anyone in my life for granted:-) including Seymour who had a very stressful day moving from one place to another and taking a 4 ft. free fall in the process. All are okay!!!
In July/August of this year I have been truly challenged by the universe to exhibit the strength and courage (not to mention "self-love) that has been with me since I was a little girl. I realized through some of my personal relationships that this strength is a gift and not so easy for others. I believe that my relationships in the future will be with others that truly value this gift and are strong enough to support me in my ups and downs, highs and lows, and all my talents and joys! After all, that is life. Never what we expect, always changing, and begging us to let go.
I look to the future with much excitement but remain in the present as this mystery of life unfolds. I am thankful for an empty slate.
Namaste,
Natalie
