Friends in other places

Those who know me, know that I love yoga. Yoga has brought me so many chances to interact and meet many lovely people.



Today I am thinking about how amazing it is that someone who has never spent real time with you, does not know anything about you or has just met you by chance can actually make a bigger impression on you than your regular friends.
What is the real definition of a friend? To me it is someone, a fellow earth traveler living their life, that greatly makes an impact in your life. These encounters are sometimes small, brief and fleeting. Sometime they last years.
Just recently, at the Kripalu Center in Boston, I was involved in a wellness program. It was so amazing to me that we had the obvious in common, the program, but I soon found out that I had a thing in common with each person there. I met fellow scuba divers, pug owners, knitters, artists and spiritual seeker that were on a same path in some regard. Yoga teaches us that we are all one, all sisters and brothers and that the universe is an amazing place where these encounters happen.
Just recently, while posting my Wishcasting Wednesday posts, I have found so many people commenting and offering nice words. I too consider these beautiful people friends.
I feel that we are all on the same journey and that our threads often cross. When they do it is magical!

Getting well

Wishcasting Wednesdays...
How do you wish to spend some time?
This week I wish, I need, to spend some time getting well.





I can't seem to kick this sickness that starting as a cough and has progressed into deafness. As a child I spent time deaf during sickness and I hoped to never get to that point again. It has come back and now it is such a nuisance. Time off work, asking people to repeat themselves and the constant worry that it will stay with me. I have to admit that I have to give into it and not fight. I also learned in the past that my body will get back on track when it is ready. In the mean time, I will take the meds and dissolve into the muffled quiet to heal. So I wish to spend some time to het better an give into the healing process. A great time to reflect and meditate on how valuable good health is.

Wishcasting Wednesday!

Where do you wish to make a fresh start?

One of my fave creative bloggers www.jamieridlerstudios.ca asks a question every Wednesday. This week she asks 'where do we wish to make a fresh start?'.
What a great but hard question to answer. I am constantly restarting my life here and there in different aspects. For this week's task, I find myself thinking about my yoga sadana or practice. It always seems to be the thing that gets cut from my life. Maybe because I think I can practice any time I like.
So this week, I am restarting my practice and starting from scratch. I am taking a new look at it and observing from another perspective... Then pulling my practice out of the shadows.
Wishcast me luck!

Well well well...

Been a long time.
So much has changed too!
Got a baby. (puppy) New job and new outlook on life!
Went with a friend to the Kripalu Center near Boston. What a magical place.
How great is it to find a place where we all share the same interests, where you can just BE, where you can be yourself and learn.
Hmmmm. A big sigh and a big breath, next thing I know, I find myself again
