B.R.E.A.T.H.E. Wherever you are. Especially if that space is uncomfortable! 🌬 "Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our #growth and our #freedom." - Viktor Frankl This shape is still frightening for me, a feeling of claustrophobia and anxiety take over, if I let it. Or, I can breathe and relax into it, and all of a sudden I'm touching my toes (or trying something new, taking a risk, a leap, changing careers, homes, paths, you name it...) Notice that space. And then let it open you up to new possibilities ✨

Over 2 years with this handsome guy! Can hardly believe it. So thankful I decided to go to that random local bar that one night 😊🍷 And that the universe continued to cross our paths. I asked for love (quite literally), and in you walked/danced/stumbled :) I love you so so much @therealerockbeats. You inspire me to grow into the person that I want to be. And you keep me grounded, and laughing, and learning, and dreaming, everyday, through it all ✨ You're my angel. #takingamoment @afropunk

“A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.”

- Albert Einstein

I am always doing that which I cannot do, in order that I may learn how to do it.

Planting for #fall #harvest 🌱🌱🌱 Butterfly already here to pollinate 💓 #natureknows Only bought greens once this summer (so not expected!) Now hoping to keep that trend going as looong as possible. No comparison to freshly picked food, straight sunshine to the mouth ☀️ and nourishment to the body/mind/soul #growyourown

After 8 years of yoga practice I'm just now starting to appreciate the power of backbends! -- “Backbending is training for the mind: both the deep primitive areas governing pain and the more socially important limbic channels responsible for emotions and fear.” - Benjamin Lorr Backbending is also one of the few ways to get nutrients to the spinal disks, which are living tissues that get very limited natural blood supply. Backbends nourish and heal and spine, and the spine in turn holds us up and channels our energy. #wallwalks #backbending #heartopening #church 👁✨👁

"Spinnin', I'm spinnin, I'm spinnin' " - the concrete 👋💃🏼😊 #hey #bey Patio mix in the making. Then pouring, leveling, brushing, and drying. So cool to get to create a space from the ground up. Of all the things I envisioned myself doing, this was definitely not one! Haha. I love that. Letting myself be surprised #flow
