The Journey…thirteen

This is how I ended my night. Kelley and I left training and went to Greenlake where we walked and talked until the sun was just setting. It was like breathing in relief and peace.

The weekend went by super fast! Kelley, Matthew and I ordered Thai and had a living room picnic on Friday night. And Saturday Kel and I set out on a mission to revive Delia Dos and we did! For a small fee she has a new battery and is alive and well…but now the wireless is down which is a whole different story. Oh technology, how I hate to love you.

There was delicious Greek food set to the symphony of cool winds and setting suns…and then there was dancing and gin and bar room yoga. (It sounds more epic than it actually was. We were the party in a small, poorly occupied dive bar. Moral of the story…be with people who are all you need to enjoy yourself.)

Sunday was a day of reflection and recuperation. Kel and I went for a run in the rain…just like native Seattlites. These people don’t bat an eye when it rains. It was grand. We returned home with warm bodies, drenched clothes, and happy hearts. 

Today was Monday and I developed a strange case of the dizzies which made trying to learn difficult and doing yoga challenging. Alas…I made it. And now I can say that I am officially a little over 50% of a yoga instructor! ::happy dance::

My brain is hurting, my heart is overloaded, my tearducts ache, and my body misses my bed and the feeling of my puppy snuggled next to me.

I have become eerily aware of the depth of my scar tissue, how deeply the wounds penetrated in the past.

I have reset my intention for the next 25 days…to simply let go of my expectations, my way, my wants, etc. so that God has room to do the healing work. I will let go. Healing cannot come of my own doing. 

I am off to do my homework. 😉 I love you, crazies.
