A lot is going on right now. I pretty much hate blogs that don't divulge details of what the big stuff going on is. However, I'm pretty sure that everyone that reads this is also someone who I have already shared what I can over the phone or email.
If not, rest assured that my baby, my husband, my job, and my home are just fine.
Nevertheless, there is some darkness in my world right now. This darkness is giving me the chance to practice the principles of Al Anon. To accept what I cannot change. To find peace within myself and celebrate the beautiful things in life. To believe in hope and redemption, even in the face of tremendous heartache.
It's not easy. I am lucky to have a lot of people in my life that can help me to see the good.
I also have found extreme bliss and peace in yoga practice during this time. When I got back into yoga in early 2009, I found the spiritual aspects of it sort of hokey. I loved the work-out aspects of it but that was about it. Without my even realizing, my practice has now expanded into a source of emotional support for me. This Tuesday at yoga, I became so enveloped in my practice that all of the negativity and pain from the weekend melted away. I felt catharsis and sweat mixed with tears of release. When the class ended, my throat filled with a knot indicating tears were not far away. I did not want to leave my yoga mat.
Even though we made a financial decision to limit my yoga classes to once a week, I may need to override the Alcantara Lund financial policy in order to maintain my mental health for awhile. All in favor? I.

Yes, something that gives you that much peace should definitely be promoted to essential expenditure. I'm thinking of you. Thanks for the call yesterday.
