These ginkgo trees are stunning. They line the street near me. I’ve been watching them unfurl their pretty green leaves since spring and now, in autumn, turn the most vibrant shade of yellow. Their fan-like leaves now covering the ground I walk over on my way to and from work. A reminder to look up, and down, to admire the beauty around me. No matter my mood or the thoughts in my head, these trees have come to represent a moment of gratitude. 💛
With the state of the world, I admit I’ve become cynical of many things, but as I’ve reconnected to my beliefs and spirituality, things have become clearer than ever. My instinct is louder - that gnawing knowing inside me that has been my guide all my life. A change has been stirring inside me for many years now and the time has finally come for me to go back to school. We’re also planning on adding an extension to our home, so that means I need to make some changes to my schedule. But only one. I love teaching yoga and hypnobirthing and will continue to do so, but I’ll be pausing my group hypnobirthing offerings for the time being to create a bit more headspace for these new things. I will still be taking private and semi-private hypnobirthing courses and workshops in the meantime. For now, November’s hypnobirthing course is my last one, at least for the next several months. I’m not shifting gears completely but rather adding another string to my bow of work that I do now, and I’m very much looking forward to it!
