Hiatus Anyone?

It has been quite a while since my last post. As a result of my injury I've been taking it easy, trying to rest my shoulder and ribs. I laugh as I write this because anyone who knows me knows that I am not a person who rests well. I am always doing something. I guess the universe has a way of forcing me to slow down. I have to say, this whole experience has been quite fascinating to me. It has forced me to sit back and be an observer . . . a looking bird if you will. For 3 weeks I was only able to stand on my mat and raise my arms up and down. Now, I am only doing up to Baddahkonasana. To my surprise, instead of being frustrated that I am not doing the entire primary series and what that might mean for my TT in SoCal, this injury has forced me to look at my pratice in an entirely different light. I have never been a person who backs off from anything. What I have truly realized is that every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve our condition or create an awarness. I have such a greater awarness than I previously did. I feel like a beginner all over again and it is awesome!

I leave a week from today for SoCal. I am really excited. My injury is going to create a completely different experience than I had originally planned when I first signed up for this adventure. I do not believe in coincidences so I am just going with the flow and seeing where I land. It should be really interesting. Although, It's going to be hard being away from my husband and 3 children. I owe them a big bow and endless gratitude for allowing me the freedom to go. It will be great to see them after 15 days of being away. I am sure I'll have great stories to share.
