#WriterMo

I take the blessings where I can. From his sweet heart or my wise sisters or the whispers of the trees or the ancients that sat under them. Because I can't do this alone. This living, this loving, this growing. . And here's the secret to blessings. When you receive one don't try to pay it back. Just pass it on. . Just pass it on.

My first question for my Jar Of Hard Questions. The kind of questions that have never been answered. The kind of questions that need a place to rest. I think I'll need a bigger jar. . (Inspired by my friend @lovesoulshine who often gets answers to her unanswered questions in uncanny ways.)

I do not have a handle on grief. I have a handle on love. I have a curiosity about their conversation, how they each play the shadow when the other takes the stage. I want to get better at sitting with them with my eyes and ears open, better at witnessing their dance without wanting to separate them. I sense their need for stillness, their desire to be trusted, finally, to be honored just as they are. I see myself fidget under their gaze, and when I open my palms to give them a place to rest my hands shake (and my voice too.) Still they let me keep trying, keep showing up just as they are, trusting that one day I will grace them with the presence and respect they deserve. . Maybe today. _______________________ #writermo #griefisapractice #grief #amwriting

Stress starts a cycle. It mobilizes energy in our bodies. When that energy can't move and find completion (imagine an incomplete orgasm) that energy gets stuck in the body. It can turn into aches, pains, illness or just make us constantly grumpy 😡 . Energized movement done mindfully lets that energy move and allows stress to complete its cycle so we feel more easeful ☺️ . And so we yoga. Catch one of my 3 classes this week, all at @gatherencinitas Tues, 3:30 pm Tues, 5:00 pm Thurs, 10:45 am . Yes, you can run down the moonlit path on your way in like this kid if you like xox __________________________ #gatherencinitas #traumainformedyoga #encinitasyoga #mindfulmovement #stress #stresscycle
