Spanda

Just because I am quiet doesn’t mean I don’t have anything to say. Don’t mistake tranquility for weakness. Just because I’m not stirring up a storm and screaming and crying doesn’t mean I don’t have feelings. To know me is to my subtlety. _ I used to think I had to try and “make” something happen, or stand up and scream to make myself heard. But I do not have a penchant for the dramatic and I hate when people do things just to get a rising out of someone else. I feel like life has enough of its own drama so you don’t need to go around and manufacture any of it on your own. It’s taken me years to realize that peace is a gift, a true blessing of the spirit. I walk the middle way in life. This is my path, through the ups and down, I am steady, determined and yet kind-hearted and forgiving, to myself and other. Who you are is defined by your actions, which really do speak so much louder than words. I’ve had people who claimed to be my friends turn around and stab me in the back, and even block me on social media. I’ve watched people create drama out of nothing and turn a simple mistake into a life or death issue. That is not me. And you know, that’s ok. I’m going to keep walking my path, putting one foot in front of the other, working with diligence, moving in silence and grace, remaining steady in faith. Who I am is the possibility of peace. If you want to know what it’s like to live in my world, come practice. It’s your choice. The emotional world is always our choice. Choose the kind of life you want to live, choose wisely and consciously. _ #practiceyogachangeyourworld #onebreathatatime 🙏 Photo @ifilmyoga _ Jumping in for Day 3 #shittygymnastics hosted by my true friends @davidrobsonyoga You can find David and Yelena online @omstarsofficial Practice with us on www.omstars.com 💫

So… My 93 year-old grandfather tried yoga for the first time today (his instructor was yours truly) and he seemed to enjoy it ! It was interesting to have an impromptu yoga session today as I’m writing the final chapter of Upward-Facing Dog : )

Don’t waste your life chasing what you don’t need.

No calls or typing while you eat.

It is what it is.

Become awake to each moment.

Let go and let be.

Just keep going.

Be here, now.
