Our Best is Enough

If we approach life with love,
if our actions arise from kindness
and are guided by good intent,
then we have already given all we can.

The world may not notice,
may not always see or appreciate our efforts,
and outcomes may not unfold as we had hoped.

Yet a life well-lived
is not measured by perfection
nor counted in triumph,
but in the sincerity of our heart,
in the integrity of our deeds.

To try,
to offer ourselves with honesty and compassion,
is fulfillment enough.

When we act from this place,
we hold no regrets,
for we have truly done our best.

And in that quiet truth,
there is peace.

Sit in silence.
Feel your feelings.
Not sure what you’re feeling or what to express? Sit longer.
Find stillness.
That stillness is where the answers are. The answer is always LOVE.
Then create; words, music, movement, art, from that place of love.
Share what you create, share LOVE.

This is community. This is compassion. This is connection. This is YOGA. I just love teaching this group of hard (inner and outer) working souls. They (and several not pictured) consistently show up for themselves. It’s a beautiful thing to witness. Grateful! “Breathe and everything changes.” ✨🙏♥️🎄

November student appreciation post!

✨Meet Danielle✨

Here’s what Danielle has to say about her practice at The Om Well Collective:

“My yoga practice has provided me with the space to rest, reset and reconnect with myself each week. I’m thankful to have started this journey and continue it with Jen as my teacher. Her guidance has been life changing for me physically and mentally! No matter what each week brings, I know I can find comfort in meeting myself on my mat.” 

We are so grateful for Danielle and her dedication to herself and her practice. 🧘🏽

People are often unreasonable, illogical and self centered;
Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you’ve got anyway.

You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and your God;
It was never between you and them anyway.
Mother Teresa
