I am back home starting my day looking out my studio window, sipping my coffee, fed one of our three dogs, fed the cat and the rest of the family is asleep. Kripalu was priceless. Three days of constant yoga, nourishing and plentiful food, friendly folks and the opportunity to reflect upon beliefs that have kept me from experiencing the joy that I desire. Powerful healing. Laughter, some tears and the chance of a lifetime to be present with my daughter as she so gracefully moved from one beautiful pose to another…with intention, strength and courage.

Got back into the studio and went right to work on my gift for Cathy’s 50th Birthday. I am very pleased with the piece and hope it brings her happiness. I especially like the gold scroll quilting which I think brings a sense of importance to the occasion. I am going to bind, sign and add a sleeve to the piece and call her to arrange a date to present it to her. I will bring my camera to capture the moment.

One last thought about my stay at Kripalu. I met a very special woman while I was there and she intuitively honed in on two thoughts for me to take away for the New Year: RECEIVE AND KINDNESS…….
