thank you




I'm such a lucky gal to be surrounded by such sweet souls. I've gotten numerous emails regarding my "resurfacing" post from a few days ago.

It was probably quite easy to see (or read) that I wasn't feeling my normal happy self. Yes it's true. I wasn't.

Over a week ago I was surprised to get a phone call and learn that my dear mama was in the hospital. She was having symptoms of a heart attack. Luckily she didn't have a heart attack, but she does have much other stuff going on.

So I was saddened by all of that.
Saddened to see her scared and unsure.
Saddened by the system.
Saddened by the lack of resources.
Saddened by the lack of education.
Pissed on more than one occasion.
Until I delved deeper and learned that it was mostly fear.
And more sadness.
I'm a tender and sensitive human bean (ala Sark).

I've been debating on what to write here. What do I say? How much do I share? It's interesting when you have a business, especially one such as Barefoot Works where I literally feel like I'm surrounded by a bunch of friends.

Even if I've met you once. Even if I've never met you. You're still a friend to me. I care.

Then I think of yoga and what it really means....which is union. It's about connection. If I can write this blog and connect with one person. Then it's all worth it.

This is just one more opportunity to share. To connect. To be authentic. To connect to my voice and my truth. And maybe, hopefully....it feels honest and real and raw to know that we all struggle.

No one is perfect. Does the "perfect" life really even exist?
I hurt. You hurt.
We all fumble around in the dark.
Hoping to find the light.

Namaste.
Love & Light to each of you. :)
