Decisions by the very ground we walk..."~ Mark Nepo

Forrest Style Yoga : emphasis is on deep mindful breath awareness combined with extensive core strengthening to spark change. Four pillars or principles of Forrest Yoga:
1. Breath- to help connect to feeling one's body and ignite a passion for living
2. Strength- via intense core sequences and long holds that generate heat and heighten the senses
3. Integrity- works at the edges of one's practice; particularly around physical and emotional injuries 4. Spirit- creating a sense of freedom and the " courage to walk as your spirit dictates" Blissworks
Ganesha was a god of wisdom, success and good luck. He was also giver of different types of favors... lord of obstacles or difficulties... the Hindu tradition states that by worshiping Ganesha, one can remove all obstacles and difficulties. wikipedia
"...Humility and aliveness that only acceptance of death can release...Thin and fragrant petals do not hide from the wind. They survive to die and break ground again... Resisting this process doubles our pain. Singing our way through, it is the source of wisdom and beauty. ~ Book of Awakening by Mark Nepo

"Love whatever gets in the way, until it ceases to be an obstacle." ~ Book of Awakening by Mark Nepo
"Nothing escapes the Creator's cycle. Not plants, horses, trees, birds, or human beings. Each soul is a gust of God's breath unfolding in the great energy that surrounds us like an ever-moving stream." ~ Book of Awakening by Mark Nepo 
"...Our complex and inexplicable caring for each other, and for our life together here" the unified field as defined by Annie Dillard, Teaching A Stone to Talk
Quiet teacher we encounter everywhere. Yet in our pride and confusion, in our self-centeredness and fear, we often miss the teachers and feel burdened and alone." ~ Mark Nepo
Room for all of this to happen: Room for grief, for relief, for misery, for joy.” ― Pema Chodron
"Something changed inside me, broke wide open all spilled out / Till I had no doubt that something changed / Never would have believed it till I felt it in my own heart / In the deepest part, the healing came...Something so amazing in a heart so dark and dim/ When a wall falls down and the light comes in..." Sara Groves
Things falling apart is a kind of testing and also a kind of healing. We think the point is to pass the test or to overcome the problem, the truth is that things don’t really get solved. They come together and they fall apart. Then they come together again and fall apart again. It’s just like that. The healing comes from letting there be room for all of this to happen: room for grief, for relief, for misery, for joy.” ― Pema Chodron

"Veil of the material universe, so dense and impenetrable to the eye of error, so thin and gauzy to the eye of Truth, will be lifted and the spiritual universe will be revealed." ~ James Allen
"Whatever happens, I recognize that impermanence and uncertainty are part of life—just as gratitude and love are." ~mf
eXquisite energy of love and affection and care welling up inside of you and pouring out into another person or pet or perhaps your deep love and affection for the land. 
"You wrote about this as an opportunity for growth—honestly, you’ve had so many of those I’m surprised you aren’t ENORMOUS by now!!! ;-)" July 30th e-mail from my friend ~mf
