Marking the Moment

Happy Place 
Okay, so the inside of the boat is NOT yet photo ready; however, the moment captured here was a LONG time (and a LOT of work) in the making. 

We finally took a few moments to enjoy the boat rather than work on her. (Note: the gleam on the wood and the bright white everywhere?? 🤩) Javier is not convinced that being on the boat is the best. 😉 He did eventually relax enough for me to snap these two photos. 

Next steps? Get the main sail on, and make sure the cabin becomes less of a tool shed and more like a place you want to take a nap. 😍 We’re getting there. And by we? I mean primarily Mike. He has done so much to get Little Wing ready! 🩵🦋

“The greatest gift you can give someone
is the purity of your attention.”

~ Richard Moss

Hello!

Well, since last writing you I think I’ve had the heat, and the AC, on in my car? Maybe on the same day?! 😅
Out of habit, I was still throwing on a layer every time I walked outside. Suddenly I realized it felt like summer . . . warm, humid . . . why am I wearing this puffy coat? And then, once again . . . where is my sweater? 

My outdoor yoga season began at precisely the right moment. It was an honor to practice last weekend with the bride & groom + loads of their family on their wedding day! And, returning to the deck with dear friends for our Sunday morning class together? Incredible. 


I often talk about yoga as a fabric. When we practice, we weave in our own thread. And together, we form a fabric of support. For ourselves. For one another. 

In fact? We join all the other lights around the world, who are on this path, who call out OM . . . and this fabric becomes something we can lean into and rely upon. 

For comfort. For guidance. For inspiration. 

This fabric that is yoga connects us in unique ways. 
It’s something that may seem invisible, yet it uplifts us at all times. 

This week, I had the opportunity to spend time with a primary thread of support in my Yoga Fabric. The openness, the understanding, the ease, the connection . . . it’s been woven into our friendship from the very beginning. I am so grateful. 

The time together was an important reminder . . . gifting myself that connection time is such a salve. 

I love the Richard Moss quotation above, and I am trying to embody it further. 

Turn off that phone. Settle the distractions that are all around. Savor the moment of connection. Gift others the purity of your attention. 

In a world of constant information, inputs, chatter, and noise . . . remember to gift yourself that pause. 

Thank you for being a thread in my fabric of support. 
I am so glad that one way or another, yoga has woven us together. 

If you’re looking for an opportunity to be together in person? 
I’ll be at the Saugautck Yacht Club on Saturday mornings and Satya on Monday mornings. 

I think there may still be a FEW spaces left for our Blue Moon Yoga Circle? 

And Create + Restore in July will be the embodiment of tapping into our innate creativity and True self. So much power; Join us!

Love and light to you,

​m
