Yoga Sutra 1.20- Faith, strength and profound
meditation will lead you further.

I think about meditation

and goals
perspective
The view from where I am now is so much different than where I was.

So I sit with things, I practice yoga, and it creates more space within me to realize what makes life exactly what it should be.

my teacher Jacqui Bonwell said
"As you read this remember it's the only moment in your life that's real...everything else is

memory & fantasy. 'Life is what happens when you're busy making plans'."

But what about making that fantasy into reality?
as I was looking into avenues towards my dreams I found a website that had this little inspiration.

If money were no object, what would I do?

I’m happiest when I ________________.

Where would I like to be in ten years?

I’d like to see myself as someone who _________.

What is my definition of success?

What am I most passionate about?

What do I value?

So I sit with this

and I can feel the spark within me grow stronger

Passionate about what I do and what I love.

So truly grateful for being close to that place where I know I can be who I was meant to be.

I was never that girl that knew what she wanted to be when she grew-up.

I was not that girl that knew if she would, or could, be a mother or wife.

When I open my self up to healthy possibilities and positive people in my life I found a piece of passion within me that I never knew I had. Growth.

When I found that spark inside me through yoga and teaching, healing and helping, I knew that this is exactly where I should be.

I knew I had been chasing, working towards happiness my whole life.

Fog rolled in once in awhile and I couldn't see my way

but it always lifted so I could have the courage to go where I needed to go.

Yoga teaches us that even the most beautiful flowers are grown from rocks

In life

We may have been given a story

but we choose to put our best foot forward

This is the starting line to my dreams.

How I get there, I have no idea

but the fog is starting to lift

again

and we practice
