Transition Time

For the ♥️ of Little Wing

Thank you for indulging me. 🤩

This past weekend, Mike and I worked on moving Mt. Mulch (my nickname for the 15-yard-pile in our driveway) and on getting Little Wing ready for the water. So, I needed to remind myself of why I LOVE our sailboat. Turns out? Refinishing the bright work (all the wood trim), waxing the hull, painting the bottom, etc. are NOT the fun parts of owning a boat. 🤪

And, to be very clear, Mike is the hero of this story. Not me. IF we can get enough accomplished between rainstorms, we hope Little Wing launches next week.

She’s an unfathomable privilege and joy.

Hi friends!

First up, in case this newsletter ends up in the Too Long; Didn’t Read (TL;DR)category . . . a note to any and ALL Yacht Club Yogis: 

Class this Saturday is @ 8:30 A.M.  
Yep. It’s time for that early start; you can do it!  💖

In the good news column: we have class EVERY SATURDAY in May! So, if you’ve gotten out of the habit of making it to class on Saturday mornings? 
it’s time to come on back. 
Your brain. Your body. Your being will thank you. See you Saturdays @ 8:30. 🫶🏽

And, I am SO excited for the first Full Moon Yoga Circle @ Satya tomorrow (Friday) night! The Flower Moon Circle is Sold Out, and you can join the WaitList here. Our next Circle will be on Sunday, May 31 where we’ll be celebrating the Blue Moon. Please join us! 

Gosh, I love this time of year. And, a few of my muscles had forgotten how much work it is! 😀 Our yard and boat both deserve some love and attention after a long winter of hibernation. There’s something satisfying about the exhaustion that comes with hard, physical work. Especially when you can finally sink into your front porch and admire the oh-so-tangible results. 

It’s exciting to celebrate the abundant growth happening all around. 
Nature’s vitality and beauty is impossible to miss! 

I’m checking in a lot these days to see if my internal vitality and beauty are as evident? I’m feeling the shifts, and I don’t think everything is fully aligned and shining, quite yet. 

And I think that’s okay. 

I am enough.
I am evolving. 

Here’s to all of us continuing to evolve and grow and burst into full bloom. 
One breath, one moment at a time. 

The lilacs have popped this week, and I am beginning to get wafts of perfume from our Lily of the Valley. Nature understands how to flow and adapt. It blooms when it’s intended to.

I’ve been meditating on yoga being about steadfastness. 
It’s not magical. 
It’s not accidental. 
It’s not a bunch of woo-woo. 
The shifts we want? The transformation we seek? We have to show up for it. 
Time and time again. 

And, it doesn’t have to be complicated. 
It doesn’t have to take all kinds of time. 

I can reset by simply pausing. Finding my breath. Feeling my feet on the ground. Turning my eyes to the sky. 

And I have to continue showing up for myself in this way. 
Through repetition and ritual. 
Building my tool kit so I trust that everything I need? Is within myself. 

Ahhhh, now that sounds like peace. 
Love, light, and longing for peace,
