Cannot believe another Christmas has come and gone. This year I had such a wonderful Christmas with my family. Christmas Eve was spent with family friends and just great conversations. Christmas day was spent with just the family opening presents and just being lazy, and then a wonderful dinner over at Myke's (my sister's b/f) parents place.
I've been taking a lot of space from people and things in my life, and it has been such a great decision. I am finding a lot of calm and stillness, and enjoy moving at a slower pace, as well as clarity. I found that I have really developed a talent for recognizing when I need rest, and time away from people. I need to constantly go within myself and just reflect on experience, and comprehend what is going on around me and within me. I am on such a transformative path and to be be present with the transformation is to allow myself to be integral and honest with how my physical body is feeling, and where my social body needs to be. This ultimately leading me to deeper relationship with my mind body and then observer self.
2010 was such a busy year for me. Working full time as an outdoor educator at Forest Valley. Then. . . teaching yoga and practicing Thai Massage, moving out of my old place, moving into a new place, travelling to India for 5 weeks, back to full time work, a rigorous asana practice, then moving again to my own apartment, doing my Restorative Teacher Training, some more Advanced Yoga Teacher Trainings, weekend Anusara yoga workshops, beginning to teacher yoga more often, and practicing Thai Massages.
Obviously, far more happened during the year as well, but the list would be extremely long. I'm excited to be ending 2010 in a yoga workshop lead by a dear friend Josie Houpt, my 2 best friends 10 years (Kristina & Tasha) will be joining me, which I am so honour to spend this type of celebrating with them. I think it will be the perfect way for me to close 2010, and open 2011 fresh with all my aspirations, as well as letting go and embracing whatever comes my way.
We close doors to open 5 more. We close a year to open a door to a new one, with the mistakes and lessons the past years to guide us.
