Person Go To Yoga or Wherever Your Spirit Wants to Go…

A lot of women have read “Girl Wash Your Face”. I loved it. I couldn’t put it down. It spoke to me. What I loved about it, was like me, the author has created these rules for herself, for her life, to be unapologetically herself. Because she is so authentic and true to herself, she shines and inspires so many people.

Stay in the gray area, the gray is the place that shines. Woman go to Yoga. This week it started, the black and white thinking that can happen anytime, but sometimes happens more during busy times like the holidays when there is a lot going on, a lot of family and friend gatherings, a lot of money and time being spent on travel and stuff. A friend invited me to a party and I wanted to go to Yoga and then home to relax. I had the black and white good friend/bad friend thoughts.  I want to do this, but I should do this. I want to go to yoga but I should be meeting my friends out. For a brief moment my mind went to the place where it feels like life or death, maybe some of you have experienced the downward spiral of thoughts. If I don’t meet my friends when they invite me, no one will ever invite me again, I will have no friends, and I will end up alone a crazy cat lady. It was just a moment and then I took a deep breath, Spirit Breathe. I created space around my thoughts that are untrue. Our own thoughts can be our worst enemy. They can feel like a prison. Once our spirit breathes, we are free. We breathe in the light and get out of the downward spiral and in the the place that shines. The place where we we know we have the power to create our thoughts and create our lives. I have the Best Friends. They are nice and compassionate or they wouldn’t be my friends. They don’t judge or hold a grudge. We All just let each other Be Ourselves, knowing that we all do what we want, when we want, and that is our gift of friendship to each other. I can’t put into words that feeling, but it’s magical. Woman go to Yoga.

Bezu and I were home Saturday morning relaxing together. We were snuggling, talking and I rubbed her head for an hour because she loves that. The thoughts started filling my head again. I want to do this, but I should do this, good mom/bad mom. I want to go to one of my favorite 90 minute classes later this morning, but I am a bad mom for upsetting my daughter and dropping her off at her dad’s for breakfast instead of making her breakfast and spending more time with her. I am a bad mom because I am only going to make it to half of my son’s basketball practice if I go to Yoga. Deep Breaths, Spirit Breathe. “Good Mom, Bad Mom says Who? Who is saying you should do this when you want to do this? You are an Amazing Mom! You do so much with your kids. We are all Amazing Moms!  Woman go to Yoga.”

Once we can stop our thoughts in their tracks, we are Free from the prison they can create. The gray area, the center is where our authentic spirit lives. One of my friends gave me the best compliment, she said, “there is no one in the world like you” and that is true for everyone and our beautiful authenticity that comes from the inside and radiates out. My kids are Amazing kids because I lead them by example. I am letting my life be my legacy and not following anyone else, but my own spirit. I am my kid’s guide to finding their own passions and I inspire them to follow their dreams and Shine as Bright as they Can!  Let Your Light Shine! Person Go to Yoga or wherever your Spirit wants to Go!
