...letting go. Yep, letting go feels so darn good. Those times when you are somehow able to realize that all of those things, people, ideas, memories, hopes, disappointments, fears, wants, maybe even needs that you've become so attached to are not what define you...that if you want, you can let them all just slip away and with that, become lighter in your journey. I don't mean anything too terribly deep with these words, quite the contrary. Here's to quieting, simplifying, relishing. Here's to just
being. Simple as that. And here's a little yoga playlist to help...

A fellow yoga teacher and I were talking about an interview with Thich Nhat Hanh in which he emphasizes that all the
doing is not whats so important...it's the being that is. Try to embody the light, the peace, the love, the gratitude that you have, that you see the world needs. That's step number one and the most important one. Stop getting so wrapped up in all the
doing, and just
be. That has brought me so much peace this week. I wanted to share it.
Enjoy!
