Let me start by telling you this: this post is very different from the one I sat down to write.

"Fear is the path to the Dark Side. Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering."
~Yoda

Stop.
Take a breath.

This week marks another epic milestone in the America's private war.

"Women over forty can't do that."
"You're too old to wear that."
"Act your age."

No one is perfect. 
No one should want to be. 

I am off balance - physically and spiritually, my body aches all the time, and I feel terrible about it.

As you change, what works for you may change, too.

I have nothing this week except some advice:
Stuff can be replaced, you cannot.

Family isn't always forged in blood, many times family is chosen.

In today's world, more than ever, we are expected to pick a side. 

It's OK to honor your limitations.

Happiness is something different to every person.
But happiness is ALWAYS an inside job.

"Practice, and all is coming." ~ Pattabhi Jois
But what are we practicing for? When is the last time you even asked yourself that question?

A belief is a preconception about the way reality should be.
Faith is the willingness to experience reality as it is, including acceptance of the unknown.

Surrender
Be here now

I am not this hair.
I am not this skin.
I am the soul that lives within.
