They always say happiness comes to those who wait. But I say why wait? Get out there and create the happiness you are seeking. Only you know what will make you happy. You need to be in charge of that. So I have a question today for you to ponder. It's a simple question, but may take some thinking.

It has taken me 5 weeks and another yoga weekend to really put into perspective how my training is going. How it has already touched me so deeply.

They say training to teach yoga will chage you, and before starting the classes your mind probably wanders as to what that actually means. How will you change? At least these were the questions I asked.

I walked into a studio with a room full of (mostly) strangers and walked out after 3 days feeling like they were my family. They understood me.

I am in the process of tremendous growth within my own soul. I'm working through things I never thought possible. This practice isn't only physical, but mental and spiritual.

We spend more time talking about yoga then we do in physical practice. The practice we get is amazing. We get to flow and learn. My body is so alive.

I believe everything happens for a reason, and though it's been tough balancing a new job, personal distractions, and keeping up with my practice and studies, I'm grateful for it all. It's challenging me to be my best self. It's showing me the world is mine if I want it.

I am going to come out of this certification ready to share my knowledge with you all. I will be able to support anyone who needs me, because I am supporting myself. It's a wonderful feeling.

I have some specific topics I want to discuss in the next few weeks leading up to my next training weekend. They will be more specific then this overall thought I have had through this.

I can't wait to share.

What can I say? It's Friday. I'm working from home. And I'm having all the feels today. Do you ever have one of those days where all the emotions just hit you in the face hard? Well that's pretty much how my day is going.

I've learned in just 2 short months of 2017 that SO much can change in just a day. A week. A month. I have changed jobs, started training for yoga teacher certification, and have watched a bunch of my friends start new adventures as well. We all had very quick and sudden changes that leave us happy with our new adventures, but sad with change.

I saw a friend take a new job that will take her to another state 6 hours away. I saw a friend elope and will be moving across the country to be with her new husband. I saw another friend decide to make the leap and work from home with her own business. Another friend is starting her own business. So much potential. So much growth.

But when we stop to think about it, growth means change. Sometimes our growth takes us to new places. Sometimes we leave our communities and along with that comes leaving our comfort zone. I may not be leaving my community yet, but I am definitely feeling like a fish out of water lately. I am losing some of my closest friends in my community and that is breaking my heart today. I am so proud, but also feeling sad.

I can't wait to see where all of these new adventures take us. It's an exciting time.

How's your Friday going?
