Home

Well, Jason and I made it home. We are happy to be back. It was a full 30 hours of traveling with maybe an hour of sleep. Jason and I arrived tired but survived the trek. It was so great to see Liam at the airport and have him run and jump into my arms. I sure did miss my little guy and discovered that 7 days was too long. Anyway, he gave me and Jason some really great hugs. ;)
Let me backtrack a little before moving forward...
Our last night in Italy was a good one. Jason and I went into central Bologna to explore the area a bit since we had heard this area is quite spectacular. It was spectacular and am glad we went to see it despite being tired.
Bologna is certainly a bustling place and the area we were in was full of grand, old buildings, lots and lots of shops and restaurants. I am sad to say that this was the most romantic part of our trip and the most time Jason and I spent alone the entire time we were in Italy. We walked around the city, had dinner, enjoyed some wine and then hoped back on the bus at 9 p.m. to go back to the hotel. Since we both wanted some dessert, we went to the Pizzeria next the hotel for some gellato and another glass of wine. It was a sweet ending to the evening.
Since my return home,though, I have not yet processed the experience. I will say that it was different than I thought it would be. At the moment, I think I am to tired to know what to think about it all. For now, I will just give myself time to get settled and let my feelings on the experience do the same.
I will be sure to upload the photos and some videos in the next few days for others to view.
Glad to be home,
Marcia

Getting Clear, Feeling Connected~

Okay, so it has been a while since my last post. It has been busy with friends coming in from out of town for a visit, a teacher training with Darren and Noah, another friend staying with me and my family during the training, and a surprise visit from my sister who lives in Denver. Even this weeks has been full. I taught on Sunday following the teacher training and it felt great. My Sunday group has really grown in size but also keeps growing together. It is a special class all because of the people. Anyway, I shared with them my experience and the realization I had at the end of the TT, which was my theme for the day. Let me share... During the training, I learned that I knew a lot but that there is still so much to learn. I got some great guidance from Noah during our group teaching sessions about just remembering to pause, breathe, and see if the directions are being received by the students. Also, just remembering to walk around in order to observe the room, the group ...

The Next Big Adventure~

What you are looking at is a picture of , as Jason put it, our family's next big adventure.  Yes, this is a picture of baby number 2 in utero at 12 weeks and 3 days with its little hand up near its face.  Amazing isn't it?! It was such a relief to hear the baby's heartbeat yesterday and see that the baby is thriving and doing well.  I felt like I was in a holding pattern with this pregnancy due to the fact that the last two have not been viable.  I didn't want to get too excited for obvious reasons.  Now that we have made it to this point, I feel like I can breathe a sigh of relief and let go into the experience.  The risk of a miscarriage at 12 weeks with the baby being healthy is only 1 or 2% .  The statistics are nice to read but the good feeling I have inside is an even better indicator of this being a happy, healthy pregnancy.   It is so nice to actually be able to enjoy this experience now instead of feeling I am waiting to do s...

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...
