Free Form... Letting it come and go.

 Perseverance is the quiet voice in your heart that tells you to keep going despite the fact that the voice in your head says to run the other direction.
Stay the course or be courageous enough to create a new path. Create a new path that has not been traveled before because it just may be that that is what you are meant to do.  Just keep going.  Continue to go in the direction you feel intuitively drawn to go and know that you don't need to know all the details. What you need to know for the next step will come when the time is right.  There is a real art to learning to maintain true faith and trusting in the possibility that all things will fall into place and all that you really need will arrive precisely on time.  
This is no easy time with the world I know feeling slightly wobbly and in limbo.  Odd thing is, I feel steady. Even with the heavy energy and uncertainty in the air, my heart feels light and my outlook positive. My practice and connection to Spirit has a lot to do with my current ability to stay buoyant during turbulent times.  Thank God for all this that is.   
The practice is more powerful and supportive than I can explain.  All I know is that yoga and the practice of connection on multiple levels offers endless opportunities for growth and deeper understanding at the soul level.  Learning to be in my body and direct my attention inward always settles my mind and opens the door of my heart so wide that sometimes it makes me feel bare and vulnerable.  I am so grateful that I no longer feel afraid to be so exposed and stripped to the bone so that only my essential essence shows through.  I have come to realize that feeling the fear and moving past that point of hold back comes the chance for great growth.  Less fear leads to  a grand occasion to expand beyond the boundaries so that I am able to see the world of Spirit and matter more clearly.  Only with the eyes of my heart am I able to do this and to see that more of the good stuff awaits.  I desire to rise and arrive.
Somewhere over the Rainbow in the dark night of the sky, the star in my heart shines,
Marcia
P. S. 
I tend to over edit in an effort of perfection but this sometimes makes what I want to say or do or be stale.  So... tonight I will refrain from doing so.  Tonight, what comes to and through me is what is.

A Mother's Plea For Help ~

“It’s not the load that breaks you down; it’s the way you carry it.” -Lena Horne We often think that admitting struggle is a sign of weakness, but we all struggle sometimes. We all get overwhelmed sometimes. We all need help sometimes. Acknowledging this is not a sign of weakness, but struggling alone is a choice to grow weak. Dear Friends, This will be a very different entry than what I usually write.  This entry is really a request for help, ideas, suggestions, empathy, a show of love by offering anything useful to help me help my son with his separation anxiety.  Let me share with you my situation... My son is 5 and has been going to preschool 4 days a week for 3 1/2 hours.  The school he goes to is really a wonderful place.  It is whimsical and small and community oriented. His teacher is the best.  She is kind, compassionate, loving, and she loves what she does.  I love her.  He only has 9 kids in his class and there are at least 2 or 3 ad...

Big and Wide Open~

Photo Credit: Mathew Dols I'm listening to Ben Howard and feeling quite nostalgic.  My head is still a bit clogged and foggy from being sick, which may have something to do with the state I am in. But truthfully, it feels more like old stuff that's coming up and moving out.   Either way, I feel inspired to write and let this inner desire for understanding and expression take place. I really can't help but marvel at the way time passes,  along with people and places and moments that seem to live forever.  There are certain moments and times in life that shape so much of who we are, what we become along the way, and the way in which we find our way into our self. For me, there have been many wonderful people, places and moments that have shaped me into the person I am now.  I am not just speaking of the big and obvious things like marriage and having children.  You see,  I grew up an army brat and moved around a lot. I moved from state to state,...

A Long Time Away~

Photo by: Matthew Dols  My last post was in January. It's been 4 months since I've last written a thing. I guess I've been away so long because I haven't really known what to say or think or share. On some level, I've been reluctant to share what's really going on for me for fear of how such information might be perceived. Maybe it's all part of this strange change that I seem to be in. I find myself questioning everything from teaching to parenting and everything else in between. I honestly don't know why I feel so displaced and uncertain, but I do. And I find myself less and less interested in the things I used to be interested in, and more and more uninspired by those things that use to really inspire me. I find myself getting bored, to some degree, with the whole yoga scene. It's all become so trendy and bendy and ultra ego driven. It's a bit too much-look at me- for me. Don't get the wrong idea here,  I'm not writing this post...
