my husband who drinks to oblivion and not wanting any part of it.  But I can't break my family up because of my children.  I never thought I'd say that.... Yet I have no idea how to deal except wishing I was not in the relationship.

...shaking from doing a class with David Swenson, I realize that I could never disconnect from my yoga practice even though I've been remiss with my asanas since starting my new job. But what I've realized more, is that it is a NEED to practice it more even with the new responsibilities and stress of teaching art.

I know, I know... I have a new job. Not anything new to most of you, but I have never worked a full-time job for anyone before; I've always owned my own business and it's just different.

So back to the yoga! David Swenson can pretty much shut you up and put you through the toughest asana practice and "hate" it but then can't live without it. You know that addiction of YOGA!!! Yes, I'm still shaking and yes, I had a truly awesome sivasana just now (which YOU know you have to have when completing such a grueling routine) but what I found most invigorating is the level from within my mind that I feel is going to bring me back to the strong emotional person I've been but seemed to have lost since my move. (yes rehashing the recent hard parts of my life.) But I'm moving on now and accepting where I am and what I'm doing and am going to teach yoga in person, on-line and be a part of the communities I've started and belong to.

Please take a moment and "think" where you are. Are you where you want to be? I am. Are you happy? I am. Are you healthy? I am. Are you thankful? I am.

Now have a beautiful week. A very Happy New Year! You'll be seeing lots of me and I hope to see lots of you!

My online community is working for me again, so please start posting again as I couldn't.

Love and Peace to All!

Carrie B!

This past weekend I build my labyrinth out of twigs and branches.  Although I will be adding more twigs & branches, rocks and other decorative items will be added.

This is my first attempt and it's 45'...brings me spiritual joy, contentment and explosive meditation. (is that an oxymoron?????)

Would love to share with those of interest that live in the area...
