Be the change…

Hmmmmmmm…

I think there might be an important lesson in there somewhere? 

Happy first day of May! If you haven’t joined already, click here to join Project Happiness and have daily happiness delivered right to your inbox. Their #MayYouBe Challenge began today. Join in! 

I love Project Happiness. I follow them on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter and get constant reminders and positive daily intentions from them! Thank you Project Happiness for the challenge this month and for all the positive life affirmations you bring to me and so many others on a daily basis.

We all smile in the same language and we all breathe. “Our breath is constantly rising and falling, ebbing and flowing, entering and leaving our bodies. Full body breathing is an extraordinary symphony of both powerful and subtle movements that massage our internal organs, oscillate our joints, and alternately tone and release all the muscles in the body.

It is full participation in life. 

Donna Farhi

Yoga has taught me about my breath.  It’s taught me about life, the rise, the fall, the ebb and the flow. 

Thank you. 

Hello Fear, 

Thank you for being here. You’re my indication that I’m doing what I need to do. 

-Cheryl Strayed-Brave Enough

I love Cheryl Strayed. I love her words. Just a few of her best ones/my favorites to guide your mind—–>

It doesn’t get EASIER. 

YOU get STRONGER. 

I want to get more comfortable being uncomfortable. I want to get more confident being uncertain. I don’t want to shrink back just because something isn’t easy. I want to push back and make more room in the area between I CAN and I CAN’T.

Push back. Work hard. Give it all you’ve got. Thank you Cheryl Strayed for your book Brave enough. 

I follow Project Happiness on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. They post the most useful centering thoughts for my daily life. Almost everyday they post something that speaks to me. This is from the end of December. I love it. 

  If the above doesn’t work for you, see the beauty in the picture below and just set your intention on the peace, serenity and stillness there.  

 If none of that works for ya….check out Norman’s sweet face. Set your intention there. 😜 😉 

“COME TO THE EDGE, he said. 

WE CAN’T, WE’RE AFRAID! They responded. 

COME TO THE EDGE, he said. 

WE CAN’T, WE WILL FALL! They responded. 

COME TO THE EDGE, he said. 

AND SO THEY CAME.  And he pushed them AND THEY FLEW! 

-Guillaume Apollinaire 

He was a French poet and artist. He died at the age of only 38, yet offered the above to the world. 

Thank you yoga or helping me trust myself and Cheryl Strayed for your words.  

  And Hugh Laurie for reminding me of the present moment-another important, yet difficult task yoga has brought into focus.
