Living with a fearful mindset and trying to hold on to your resources will never yield big results. It’s time to double down and up the ante!

At Wanderlust this weekend I stepped out of my realm of known possibility and into new territory. I explored classes and teaches I had never experienced before. What I found was surprising!

This weekend we are in Atlanta for the Wanderlust Festival. I loved being a student! There is such power in being open to learning something new!

The summer of my Freshman year of college I avoided an accident by inches. The next day a childhood friend passed away. Trying to sort out my feelings, I decided I needed to get out of town and went to live with my Dad for the rest of summer. A few months later, my Dad died unexpectedly. I am so grateful for the divine grace that lead me to my Dad’s so we could spend some quality time together before he died. Can you recognize the hand of grace in your life?

Asking for feedback requires an openness and willingness to see your blind spots. Giving feedback is a huge gift and elevates all of us in our personal development and the evolution of consciousness on the planet.

Today I had the opportunity to see one of my teachers working with a new client with a traumatic brain injury. Yoga is so much more than a workout! I was so moved seeing this outpouring of love and deeper meaning. It reminded me of the purpose of the practice. So much more than tight abs and a firm bum!

I’ve never been one to finish things easily. I’ve embodied that saying, “the struggle is real” more times than I’d like to admit. But what if the abs tackle is the way? The way out is through. Keep on going!!

Today I hit a roadblock. I began to feel defeated and ready to quit, and then I remembered a trip my Mom and I took to Vegas so I could “win” my rent money. It reminded me I’m resourceful, and that I can do this.

Today after talking to a yoga student after class, I got to thinking, “What needs to be present in my life in order for me to feel a sense of ‘home’?” I consider a sense of “home” that deep connection and sense of groundedness to my body, environment and a power greater than me.

Each of us has within us something worth fighting for. The problem is that somewhere along the way we become numb and something gets in the way of that desire.. What is it you’re willing to fight for?
