Sally was an amazing woman. She had cancer for several years and lived each day with purpose, a smile and a positive attitude. Her diagnosis was not a death sentence, but a life sentence. She actively extracted more enjoyment out of each day than most. Last week I got a call from my sisters and mother urging me to come home to Tucson. My father is quite ill and this may be my last chance to have some quality time with him. I am telling you this to reassure you that, I love teaching yoga, but will be away for 2 weeks from Thursday Dec 29 until Wed Jan 11 and yet I have friends who will teach my classes while I am away. Keep your commitment to your practice strong, because this is really the practice of self realization.
In this time of New Year's soul searching and goal setting, I hope you take some time to compassionately reflect on your attitude for the coming year. You have been sentanced to life. What are you going to do with it? What do you want to become, what are you willing to give up, or put in to reach your aspirations? Trust that we are all works in progress, there is no real failure. We all learn the lessons of the past and employ with courage what we have learned.
I look forward to seeing you live the life you would like to, full of passion, meaning, and grace. Namaste,
Michelle
