In my practice...

Ahhh, the time of reflection.

My tea is brewed, my candles are lit, and I've got those great socks on; let's begin.

Although this is how it should be everyday, today, I didn't have to desperately search for something to reflect on. As I sit comfortably and cozy at my desk, I think of how lucky I am to have had the privilege of the way I spent my Wednesday evening. I was able to be with a friend that touches my heart and to become one with an experience that fuels my soul. I was able to attend a yoga class downtown with my friend Samantha. Even though this could have happened any Wednesday night, tonight it was chosen, and chosen well I may add. In our practice we spoke with our bodies about being heroic. Little did I know that this was even possible. We stretched, meditated, focused, and breathed our way to peace tonight. I can say that yoga has changed me, made me stronger, and I owe it to magical nights like these.

Not only is yoga an inspiration to me, but so is Sam. She is free, happy, healthy, beautiful, caring, and whimsical. I can see this in just the way she carries herself when she walks. She has a warm heart, and a confident soul. Although I am thrilled for her to start at a new place in her life, I will miss her dearly.

I just wanted to say how happy I am to have had such a peaceful, fulfilling night. That is all.

Sleep with wonderful dreams everyone,
