Happy Wednesday! Somehow it got away from me, but we’re in the week of Love AND we’re focusing on Magic! It’s such a great combo creating a beautiful week. Love IS Magic! My year …

Happy Monday!

A few weeks ago I took what I thought would most likely be my last walk with my sweet man, Xander. So, we took a selfie to honor the moment.

He’s still with me, but as I’m focusing on the word Magic this year, I’m recognizing the perfection of our last little moments together.

As we’re in the last little bit of Year of the Snake, I’m invited to shed and let go. Every time I breathe into the release of old chapters my brain shifts to Xander.

Then my heart opens to gratitude. This sweet boy is never far from me. He’s gentle and sweet and has made my life infinitely better in the 7 years we’ve been together.

This chapter that is ending with Steve and Xander has changed me forever. They are like Magic in my life. While Steve’s been gone, I still have all the Magic from his place in my life. I still feel him here and that alone feels like Magic.

Where’s your Magic? What area of your life feels like Magic?

I forgot to share the newest episode of Off The Mat. Listen to New Year, New Word and share with your friends and family. It’s an introduction to Magic, as my word of the year and our word for the first yoga session. https://open.spotify.com/episode/2R2yjPpMNA3ztpAutTTyZ9

What are you shedding over the next few weeks? Once we enter Year of the Horse, we’re beginning new chapters and opening to new opportunities. Freedom, Power and Passion swirl into the Flow! So shed now to move into this powerful new energy.

Our word is Joy!

So many of you have sent me posts about this new moon portal and the much anticipated Year of the Horse starting in February. Almost every post mentions Joy and Whimsy.

Whimsy is such a good word, isn’t it? I don’t know what brings me more Joy than a whimsical little bouquet in the dead of winter.

I took some time to be quiet over the last few weeks. During my lying in, I also sent a lot of reels and posts. We’re slowly, super slowly moving out of the time of darkness and Whimsy and Joy are skipping hand-in- hand in my heart.

I recorded a podcast episode about manifesting and using you Whimsy to not only get clear about the next year, but also to communicate clearly to the universe.

Take a listen to A Yogi Kitchen Off The Mat wherever you listen to podcasts. Most of it is really about being this part of the year. Share with your friends and family and then grab your journal. What does Whimsy and Joy look like? How is it showing up for you this season of light?

Happy Tuesday!

Our sweet yoga sister and a friend for over 30 years Irene, sent me this a few weeks ago. We’re focusing on Joy!

When we feel good we do good. I have so much gratitude and Joy around all of the good you do. This community is so loving and so dedicated to Seva, our selfless service practice. You make me smile only a daily basis.

What will you do for Joy today? What would make you feel good mind/body/spirit? I’m not talking about chocolate cake good. I’m talking about massage good, s*x good, hot tub good.

What can you do today that helps you feel mentally, physically and emotionally better than you do right now?

I made a promise to myself to get out in the sunshine as often as I can this winter. Today we’re having a break in the cold, so Xander and I are heading out. By the end of the walk, I’ll be dancing to my tunes and ready to make the rest of the day even better.

At this place in my grief, I need to make sure I’m getting enough Vitamin D for my brain. The temp change helps shift brain chemistry and is the fastest way I know to elevate my mood. Xander loves the cold, I get to move my body and listen to my Walking With Xander playlist and we both get to feel Joy!

Gratitude, Grief and Joy are swirling around me these days. I took time last week to be still, to process, to rest, nap and be present with all the uncomfortable truths of the moment.

Listen to Off The Mat, the latest podcast episode, where I share the healing journey that I’ve been on this year. Heal is my word for the year and we’re in the final countdown.
