I appreciate this reminder.. it took me a long time to learn this and I find myself sometimes still stressing about the failures and failing to notice the small victories. I realize, though, it is the small victories that result in great accomplishments.. if we remember to acknowledge the little moments of success.

Hands with GlobeI’ve seen it happen so many times. A student awakens to the transformative powers of Yoga and realizes that it can have a profound healing effect on their lives. They drink in as much as they can and then ask the world of themselves.

LOVE DAY

I saw this beautiful rose displayed in a vase of water.. it was lovely.20130214-230856.jpg

In honor of Valentines Day, my beloved and I went to dinner at one of our favorite restaurants. As usual, the food was delicious but something about the place was different.

The whole experience was psychedelic. We watched as the wait staff dropped glasses, spilled dishes, forgot orders, ran into each other, and literally bumbled around the restaurant. Every once in a while someone would say something to us and we couldn’t understand a word of it.

Whatever the case we had some good laughs and a lovely dinner.

To Love and my Beloved!
