Today is Sunday... tomorrow is the first full day of my new job... and next Sunday is marathon day! A full 26.2 of rolling dirt hills at 5,000 feet. Wahooie!
Life has finally picked up for me, and I can't be for certain, but I feel I owe so much to yoga and meditation, well and patience. I've finally gotten all I've been looking for--somehow, someway.
For a long time, I've contested bringing organized religion into my life. My twelve year old Hume Lake Christian Camp traumatized me enough for a lifetime... but I'm starting to re-examine to power of prayer. I don't know if I necessarily agree with a lot of what organized religions do or believe, but the mere fact of consistent prayer and positive thought is something to admire.
I feel I've found my religion in yoga. It mends my mind, heart and soul in a matter of minutes. It allows me to be calm, present, sincere... it allows me to be proud of who I am and express myself clearly with love and compassion. I LOVE YOGA.
I know that I've gotten to the place I am today because of my determination and hard work... but I will never again underestimate the power of positive thinking.

Long Hiatus
Life has changed quite a bit since I've last written. I've acquired a new place to live, which is so very beautiful. I feel like I'm in France. The little house is so serene, just Taylor and I being the sole occupants. I love every minute. I have no T.V. but tons of books, and up until 10 minutes ago, no internet.
I sold my car... and didn't take a loss, but now bike EVERYWHERE. It's actually a really great life lesson for me in stress management, and energy flow... and breath work, and so much more. I'm loving it. But the rain will be tricky.
I also just took a new position as the City Wellness Coordinator. Yay for me! I will now work part time at the city, and part time as a Master Trainer at Kennedy, and part time as a Yoga Instructor, just at Tridosha for now.
Life is good. Being single is a shift, but one I'm OK with. I have more time now for abandoned relationships and lost hobbies, although most hobbies involve exercise.
I'm two weeks out from my first 26.2 mile marathon and I feel strong... and I couldn't be happier about those I'm running with--my mom, Larry, and Sandy. I've had so much fun training with each of them.
