Birthdays

Tomorrow is my birthday.  It does not mean as much to me now as it did years ago, but I treat it like my new year.  Most people make resolutions and take stock on 12-31, but I do it on January 12th every year.  For me, my birthday marks the time I began to breathe.  From that time, I have been able to create my life to a certain extent.  In the last few years, I have had more latitude in the menu of my life. Choosing to work for myself as a teacher has put a significant strain on my finances.  The ability to help people search for what they are looking for is worth it to me.  You cannot buy soul fire.  You can help magnify it in someone else with your own.  That is what I want for my life.  To use my light as a catalyst for sparks in others.  I want to set the world on fire from the inside-out.  Where there is hatred -- let me sow love.  So may it ever be.
Namaste

Wise men frequent the houses of great noblemen not because they are temples of vanity, but as theatres of good breeding. There be gentlemen who have the credit of worldly wisdom, because they are not only themselves oracles of all nobleness by their example and their behavior, but those who surround them form a well-bred academy of worldly wisdom of the best and noblest kind. -- Baltasar Gracian -- Translated by JOSEPH JACOBS How can we best use these words of a man who lived in the 17th Cen...

I will be attending a Yoga teacher training in July of this year.  It will be an immersion intensive, and I will most likely decompress on this wayward blog.
