My "word" of the year is "LOVE". I need more love in my life. Not just romantic love, but love for myself, love for hard things, love for things I enjoy. I need & want to be more passionate this year.
I spent the morning yesterday along with my sister Amber at Yoga. I have to say I am in LOVE with it. I have taken yoga classes a few times before but never stuck with it. I seem to be able to convince myself of a million reasons why I can't do something, & that my friends is why I never took the time for this wonderful exercise.
I was in class just astounded at how much peace I felt. I felt "clear" for the first time in weeks. I don't know how else to describe it than "clear". Not only was I having wonderful physical benefits from it but emotionally & even spiritually I felt the ability to focus on the things that are important to me & to ponder the course I'm on. I felt love come into my heart & I had such wonderful clarity & focus. I attended the class at LIVING WELL STUDIO. My Aunt opened in in November and its such a wonderful environment for peace & well being.
After yoga I went over to Amber's so I could watch her little rascals while she ran some errands & I had lot's of fun with the kiddos. We started off our day by watching Mary Poppins, both Tyler & Brooklyn Loved it! We were dacning around & singing with the movie. It was super cute because every now & then Tyler would look over at me & say "just don't sing Heather" lol! Then after lunch Brooklyn & Carson both went down for naps at the same time. That allowed Ty & I some one on one time, which worked out really nice. We played with Mac & Lightning for a bit then moved onto building tracks & taking Gordon & Pursy for a ride. After that he was ready to play basketball but the hoop wasn't set up yet so we opted to check out a little Backyardagains! Such a cute show. Not to long after that the refreshed & happy Amber arrived back at home.
It's days like this that helps me see how blessed I am. To have the unconditional love of a child, to spend time for myself with my thoughts & no interruptions, & to give a little time so someone else could benefit. It really makes my life a little better. I am grateful for the Love I felt yesterday.
I'm so jelous about the yoga class! A few years ago I took a class with Brooke and my sister Velvet and we absolutely loved it. The cute little 19 year old boy that taught it was a great instructor and I always felt the same way that you did while I was doing it. Have fun with it!
