I am enjoying the time before I teach yoga at noon and then go into my "day job". I'm drinking mate and reading about Ayurveda. I found the below quote on an Ayurvedic website and enjoyed it.
I am trying to add something more to my yoga classes and thought maybe different quotes that are related to the philosophy of yoga would be a nice way to end my classes. Whenever I get into a funk and do not want to go into teach a yoga class, after getting down to the root of why, I realize it is fear. I get afraid that I am not that good, that I need to all of a sudden change what I have been doing in class. I really enjoy teaching yoga but my mind sometimes needs more, I want to keep learning. I do read and keep my self growing in that sense but feel I want the guidance of an actual person. I really want to take ATTC but must wait until my contract with my day job is done in November.
"Sometimes we need to take a few steps back in order to get a running start. We make mistakes, and as long as we learn from those mistakes, we progress, we grow. Eventually we get to a point where we can look back and see how far we’ve come. Then we can turn back around and see how far we have to go!"

Waking Up
Today is Easter Sunday. I napped after a large meal of Tofurkey and chocolate cake, oh and there was also warm sauerkraut. Finally I enjoy sauerkraut, a sign I think of my maturity and the deepening wrinkle below my left eye.
It has been years since I have felt like writing. For some that may not seem strange but to me it is. I used to want to be a writer. Not only had I lost my inspiration for writing but also for creating art. Both are coming back. I think that the life I was living had drained that creative energy out of me, and this return of it, along with the spring weather, is invigorating.
I'm ready for life again. Somehow that innocent hope I thought was lost forever has returned and the future is no longer out of my control.
Maybe I have put on a few pounds, my life is no longer as plentiful, I'm older, not blond but the "new" me is happier.
