Embrace Your Destiny: You've Got to Want IT

I wanted IT (normal walking) too much. I did too much. Sure it hurts, but it's suppose too. Listening to my body and my doctor is challenging for me. But, my body brought me to my knees. I acknowledge that I was wrong. The body can humble you better than anything or anybody. When the body says “Enough” that’s pretty much it, at least for me. I was stopped in my tracks. 

Walker, walker, I didn’t plan to bring you back to life so quickly.

Walker, walker, I am keeping you close again, 

You are my best friend again.

I want to leave you sitting, but that’s not safe.

I’d like to ignore the pain and move on strongly. 

But, that's stupid. I’ll keep you close until I’m sure I am stable again.

Embrace Your Destiny:: Stretch Your Limits

Here I am in Puerto Morelos, Mexico on the long awaited Yoga Retreat. Our studio teacher and owner Adi Westerman and  Janet Horn former teacher and studio owner in Shelby, NC, put together this retreat at the end of last year. It proved to be a wonderful mix of people: city and rural, experienced and novice yogis, and of course age and interests. The glue that bonded us all together was a love of yoga with a healthy respect and admiration for our teachers. The location in the warmth of Mexico and at Casa Om where we stayed also contributed to the fun experience.
