Far better to live your own path imperfectly than to live another’s perfectly.

Reflection and more new beginnings!
Oh my gosh...where to even begin. I just read my entire blog and have inspired myself!!! Who knew....it's kinda hilarious!
I've been feeling in a rut lately. I have been generally quite pessimistic and just been feeling blah. After reading this blog I feel pumped again to get out and live the best life possible. Where it all slipped away from me over the past while is beyond me. Time to change my mind! Positive creates positive.
It's funny and interesting....because I had thought that once I started teaching yoga that it would be easier to be in touch with the mind-body connection and self-awareness and so on, yet this past year I feel like I have been somewhat out of touch. I am still living by the motto: live right, work hard and good things will come your way - but I have been taking some things for granted and I would have to say that I didn't put much effort into working on myself this past year. I became content with where I was in a general sense and then I just stopped working on it. I am realising that the job is never done. I will forever have to be mindful, aware, attentive. Our Character is like a craft that is continuously being sculpted, moulded, adjusted, tweaked, refined to reflect our individuality and all that encompasses our life. It is forever changing and can't just be left alone.
So, what prompted all of this....well, I have so much to be grateful for...for which I have not been grateful.
I have been teaching yoga full-time. I went on an AMAZING trip to French Polynesia and Hawaii. I am now going back to University to get my Education degree. And, I love my niece and nephew so much and I have a great family. The question is....why have I been feeling in a rut? Time to pull my head out of my own ass! Really, everything is good.
I start school again in one week, which is a trip. But, again, it's all good....taking care of business and taking the necessary steps to live the life that I want to live. Being a school teacher, a yoga teacher, a rowing coach....an explorer, an adventurer, a traveller.
I will continue to update this blog as I go to school. I hope you will continue to follow along on this journey! I might need some encouragement along the way, as I have mentioned that myself and school didn't have the best relationship the first time around!
