The last two years have shown all of us a great deal. This post could go in many directions and discuss several topics. My goal today is to post about your life’s journey.
When I turned 50, I chose to become a yoga teacher. I always enjoyed going to yoga. Yoga means science of the mind. I chose to become a yoga teacher to master equanimity, become an exemplary listener and hone the beauty of stillness and quiet. The extrinsic value of yoga is the poses, the mat, etc.
When we look at our life’s journey from birth to now, there are so many chapters. Our upbringing, other people’s influence, elementary school, high school, post secondary education, volunteer work, family, friends, etc.
Every part of that journey is within us in this moment. The last year and while I write my book on leadership, I’ve noticed that we stop or no longer make room for things, people, etc. in our live that once brought us joy.
Why can we not have a daily equation or weekly equation of many things?
When I grew up, the mentality was graduate school, get a good, secure job and stay there.
That mindset was not for me.
Becoming an entrepreneur at 24 was beyond scary. I had no family, no support, no parents. Emotional resilience (which I did not know at that age was adapted and kicked into high gear).
Yoga has always been my “go to”. Up until the week of the pandemic I had taught once a week on Wednesdays. It was mid-week, it always grounded me and reset me for the end of the week and I love guiding and helping all people.
One of my mindset decisions for 2023, was to return to yoga and then I was asked to teach a few classes at a local business. Intention is really everything! Yoga is for everyone. I am teaching a gentle flow class for beginners and people who want to try yoga for the first time and chair yoga for anyone with a physical limitation.

For those of you who live near me, I hope to see you. Let’s start 2023 with a sense of calmness, allow ourself to become grounded and let go of urgency.
This is another tool in my toolkit that I utilize in my toolkit when working with executives.
The best place to BE is in this present moment.💙
