December Inspiration

“Blessed is the season which engages the whole world in a conspiracy of love.” –Hamilton Wright Mabie

Here we are at the last month of 2024 ! It sure flew by! I know for many of us the last few years has offered many changes, challenges and opportunities to really dig deep. At times I felt I was holding on tight to things that I felt I needed to get through it. Other times, I learned to just let go and trust. I do think that as we have all navigated this new territory we have learned the importance of connection, meaningful relationships and where we invest our time. The word that I chose this year was Equanimity and it really has been a year where I was challenged many ways. I think overall I did an amazing job and hope to continue this way of steady and unwavering presence, however, I think I need a break from the challenges. I have yet another hip surgery on 12/19 and I hope that this will end my pain and bring full recovery.

Oh, I have a new word brewing in my heart for 2025 so stay tuned!

As we close out this year, I want to take this opportunity to thank you for being in my life. Sharing Yoga and wellness alongside you on your path is the greatest gift to me. I have experienced such love this year and generosity from so many. It is my firm belief that when you give unconditionally, good things come back in all forms.

May this bright season of reflection and connection touch you in a way that feels deeply warming for your soul. I hope that your version of celebration will be one that you enjoy and take in with all of your senses and appreciation. Take the time to slow down, breathe and enjoy all that each day offers.

Many blessings to you and yours. Oh, and be sure to check out my little mini gift giving catalog that has some great ideas for those on your love list. My “shop” closes on 12/15 so that I can prepare for hip surgery. (again).

Many Blessings to you and yours,
