PICS
I have a neighbor that I'm pretty sure is going to rape and fucking murder me. So that is bothering me.
I've been working really hard.
My intention with each practice session has been patience with my healing body. I've cried from frustration in and after classes. But this little glimmer of light... or giant ball of sunshine, rather, is worth all the tears and frustration. When I started practicing again after my accident I couldn't lift my arms over my head or even move my neck left to right. I feel so overwhelmingly grateful right now.

My 28th birthday is rapidly approaching and it happens to fall on the same day I hit my 90th day alcohol free. Although this year has already posed some challenges I can honestly say I've never been so certain of where I'm going and who I am. I'm opening up spiritually and have started some energy work and am learning how to use my empathetic abilities for healing; myself and others. My yoga practice is growing stronger and more beautiful. Physically I'm opening up more and I feel so strong. So far removed from my body crushing (literally) car accident last year. But the really big change is psychological. How I react (or don't react) to things. How I'm approaching life and others. It's amazing.
Anyway, enough about me. What are some positive changes happening in your life?

I'm currently studying Karma Yoga in depth and have been inspired to veer my life in a direction with even more positive actions and selfless service. I guessed I was wasting at least SIX hours a week on Facebook. At least. So I deleted it and I'm using that time to volunteer at a women's shelter close(ish) to where I work. A darling and dear friend of mine (longtime readers you may remember him as the boy I had the hots for years ago with tattoos on his face) just donated to them just because he had some "extra money he didn't need". How truly inspiring and grounding.
So this is the part where I urge you to take some time out of your busy schedule to donate time or money to a cause you feel strongly about. Especially if you practice physical Yoga I urge you to expand your practice and do some good for others that need it. I grew up volunteering at soup kitchens with my dad on the weekends. He was there constantly on his days off. And he worked 60 hours a week (at least), coached teams, wrote books, furthered his education and was/is a killer dad.
So no excuses, right?

The underlying idea is that we are what we are because of what we do or, rather, how we do it. In our actions, we express who or what we are (or presume ourselves to be). In other words, we externalize our inner being, so that our actions are a reflection or ourselves. But they are not only reflections. There is a "feedback loop" between our actions and our being. Every action acts upon our self and contributes to the entire structure of the person we tend to be.
March has been a challenge. I miss this guy so much.
Every single day I choke back tears or have mini breakdowns. It is so fucking hard. But if anything is true in this world it's that life goes on.. even if you're not ready for it.
So here are some things that have been bringing be lots of joy:
My beautiful, incredible, mind boggling bay area.
Girls! Girls! Girls!
Callioppe
Lolana
Perry
Friends!
Ktt and Matt
Favorite human ever adam_vincent
My heart rips into shreds when he visits and leaves. I swear I spend our whole time hanging out staring at him adoringly with stars in my eyes.
Sunshine!
Working on my sunburn
What is making your March tolerable? Is it that April is right around the corner?
