She's BACK!

Do you know that feeling you get when you feel like you just woke up?

I've been re-inspired and recharged in the past 24 hours!  I feel like I'm seeing an old friend that has been missing for a long time, except that she is a part of me.  I knew she was there, and she would peek out every now and again, but she was waiting for inspiration to strike.

Last night, I went to the first restorative yoga class I have been to in a long time.  Then, I had the most amazing dinner with the most amazing bunch of people you've ever met.  One of them is very pregnant and SO excited that the room was just sparkling with energy!  One of them is leaving for vacation, and we were bidding him farewell.  Another friend drove down just to come see us for 24 hours (a 6 hour round trip journey), and I hadn't really seen my two other friends in months.  They are all hilarious in their own unique ways, and it was such a blessing to get together.  It was an amazing, exciting evening full of laughter and togetherness!

After being reminded how blessed I am to have such a wonderful group of friends, I took some great advice and went to a "gentle flow" yoga class this morning.  "Gentle Flow" is just my pace!  I hadn't felt comfortable in a yoga class until today since at least September.  My body is still recovering, and I met myself where I am instead of being my usual SuperWoman self.  It is amazing how wonderful you can feel by setting aside your ego and allowing yourself to just breathe and notice how your body moves.  Today, I listened to my body (one of my New Year's Resolutions).  I listened as it flowed through the positions I asked it to.

If you have never been to a yoga class before, I highly recommend it (yes, even for men).  Stretching, breathing, and noticing your body heals your body and mind simultaneously, gives you a natural oxygen high, helps to ground you, and lifts your spirits.  Walking out of a yoga class feeling less than wonderful is rare in my experience.  In fact, it often makes you feel like you can conquer the world!

Speaking of which... "She's BACK" is the title of this post because I am feeling completely recharged and it is time to go take on the world!  Namaste!

Message of the Day:  Recharge and inspire yourself through friends, family and a healthy outlet.

...Or don't.  It won't change my reality.  Cheers!
