Hello Friends!
I havent posted here in almost 2 months and have been feeling quite skittish about it. I mean, my faithful reader must be devestated because they don't know what I am up to!
Here's the scoop kiddies, we'll break this shiznit down line by line.
1. New Job = Pretty great. It pays well, I have actual health insurance (have the card to prove it yo) and my co-workers are pretty nice. They are, however, completely insane (but in the best possible way). There is one woman who talks and goes so fast it makes me feel as though I am standing still constantly when I am speaking with her. She also fears the diabetes so she doesnt eat sugar and really enjoys GoDIVER chocolates. Love it. I also learned that another woman I work with says that things sometimes are a big "ta-da" rather than a big "to-do" and feel that it might be totally awesome to incorporate that into my own lexicon. There is a slightly perverted oldish man who wants everyone to rub his feet (and his knee and his back) who not-so-subtly looked down my shirt today (can ya blame him?) and finally there is the sad Non-Lesbian, Lesbian (because I swear to you, she IS a lesbian, she just doesnt know it yet. But I know. Oh yes. I KNOW.) who plays music (classic rock) and wears embroidered sweatshirts. She also HATES Christmas music so whatevs.
It is office life like I havent experienced in a loooong time and kind of missed. I have an entire different perspective on it now that I have lived and worked in the yoga/holistic world for six years. I take it all in stride and accept them all for the beautiful weirdos that they are.
2. Yoga Teacher Training is kicking my butt. In the best way though. It is fun, informative and grueling in a way I did not expect. Not even physically but mentally. It is ripping me wide open and leaving me wrung out and emotional almost every weekend we meet. I could not ask for a better group of women and man and am truly blessed to be part of such a compassionate and wonderfully funny group of people. 3 more weekends and I'll be a...gulp...YOGA TEACHER!
3. I am trying out what my own voice sounds like. In the effort to not give away too much information about my personal life, I will be purposefully vague. Sufficed to say I am in a situation that I have never been in before and am finding that I am not the chicken I thought I was and I am in fact, quite able to say what I need to say without fear of judgement or anger. It is wonderful to find your voice and to speak your truth. It makes me tense but at the same time it makes me so unbelievable happy I cannot even begin to tell you. I credit yoga and the gentle and brilliant friends I have for helping me see that who I am is pretty awesome and I deserve only good things (as do all of them).
I am not sure if this helps or hinders or confuses anyone and I do not really care. If you are my friend you know of what I speak and if you are not my friend I am quite sure you know of what I speak as you have most likely lived a life full of experiences that have brought you right around to the same place I am currently in: Happiness.
If you are not in the land of happy, go out, now and find it. Choose to be happy and to love and to enjoy all that life has to offer.
“People want you to be happy.
Don't keep serving them your pain!
If you could untie your wings
and free your soul of jealousy,
you and everyone around you
would fly up like doves.”
