Hi, ,

 Happy August! I am so enjoying that we can come together each week during these times of massive upheaval and change. We truly support each other. I appreciate each and every one of you. Some of you join us every week in our nourishing, supportive sessions and some of you just follow my missives week by week. Thank you for being here and providing a safe space for us all as we guide and support each other.

I am finding the need to take a break this coming week. Some quiet time to digest, integrate and rest. This will be a "staycation" for me, because it's hard to travel with a puppy. Looking forward to creating my own retreat!

Thank you for understanding my need to pull back for a week. Maybe you can practice some Loving Kindness for yourself as well, wherever and however you are able to. Just taking even a five minute break to send yourself or the world some Loving Kindness. It helps us all! 

I look forward to coming together again on August 12 or 13! Look below for some suggestions for your personal practice.

You might hum or sing along with this song, or just repeat the phrases listed at the top of this email. Together, we make a difference for ourselves and each other.

Remember also: A Little + Often = A Lot

Here is a TEDx Talk by my favorite yoga teacher, Jillian Pransky about this truly magical practice of Loving Kindness. I find this video so relatable and helpful.

"If someone comes along and shoots an arrow in your heart, it's fruitless to yell at them. Much better to tend to the arrow in your heart."

~Pema Chodron, Buddhist nun and renowned meditation teacher

See you the second week of August! Take care of you!
