I was standing very close to the edge of a cliff, ready to jump but assessing where it was safe. Feeling fear, I mustered up the courage and then remember landing with some discomfort. But I made it! Then, before you know it I was standing up there again. This time, with a small group of people explaining how to clear the obstacles and make the jump. After everyone jumped, even though I had every intention of jumping with them, it was obvious to me that I had no desire or need to jump again?! This was a very vivid and peaceful feeling; this was my dream. When I awoke, I had to get clear about what arena of my life this pertained to. The clarity came as a need to let go of the idea to open another studio. The dream affected me greatly over the up and coming days…
Living here in Peru has been great for many realizations. Yet another realization was that I’m not very interested in marketing to people to join me for yoga! If they want it, great! (I am always happy to share my love of yoga). Otherwise, so be it. When people are attracted to what you are do and benefit from your efforts, you can move forward together with a sense of contentment, enjoyment and ease.
May you too find comfort and joy through the love of yoga.
Yoga love and Happy Mother’s Day!

Green Tip – Safe Sunscreens
The Canadian Government works to provide consumers with knowledge of safe sunscreen products regulated under the Food and Drugs Act. In addition to this research, my experience in looking for organic and approved sunscreen products includes use of Neutrogena, Aveeno, Riversol and Eminence products. Use according to instruction labels this spring and summer and please note that SPF’s higher than 50 are minimally more protective than 30 or 45, thus you still need to reapply often, especially if swimming or sweating up a storm.
