Fresh

Well, here I am on the other side side of the world again... Leicester England! If feels refreshing to be here. I am happy. I feel like I needed to get out of Austin - I love it there, but I felt mentally stuck and I feel that this is start to new beginnings in my life that needed a flight to really bloom.
I am here for my friend Sharan's wedding which is happening next weekend! I am excited for her :) She found a good man.... and so did I... I thought I had lost faith there for a moment and again, I was surprised by life.... and what a beautiful surprise it was.
It is fresh and free here. I feel renewed. Trees have dark green leaves, sky is grey, flowers are vibrant, students are sweaty, people are smiley and sociable, and I am enjoying all of it.
I am working on being more genuine. I feel as if I have been trying to fit myself into a mold. Always trying to be better, not in an encouraging way, but in a "not me" sort of way. This week I will be me, no more, no less. Not trying to impress, not trying to fit, just simply being. What a beautiful release that will be! HA sounds so simple, but this will be a bit of work I imagine.... we will see.
Thanks for listening friends!

Barton Springs with my new bestie!

My new highest level of excitement 

From ME to YOU

I am settling into an interesting chair these days.... I am getting super excited to go to London at the end of this month, I am frustrated at my creativity, sad about my dad, and loving my love life. I'm a little all over the place. Is it possible to be unwaveringly grateful for what I have and still want more out of life? It has to be... this is the balance I am struggling to find. Yoga is becoming less and less a part of my life - I still love it and I adore teaching, but I don't feel the need to be at the studio every day, like I have in the past. Maybe it's the drama, maybe it's my laziness, maybe it's my desire to make more money, or all of the above, but I am ready to do something different. BE someone different... Is it so wrong of me to desire more for myself? Can I be selfish for once and want to be more and have more wealth? This is my struggle. To come off genuine and "real" and still be successful. Wait... I just got it!..... I am thinking too much about me me me! I need to make it about them. How can I help people? How can I help make their dreams come true?! How can I make THEM wealthy?! And then I will become wealthy in the process.... I think that is it! Thank you blogger - for helping me get it out and realize the power writing it down. Brilliant. Love it. I am going to shift my energy from, "How do I get wealthy?" to "How can I help YOU?" Ok.... now got to put it into action... here I go - wish me luck!
MUAH!
