relationships are easy....................................... ha, i got ya didn't i?

yesterday i slugged through snow, ice and freezing rain to make it
to a new yoga class called radiant flow.

why?

because with the deluge of crappy weather and dull skies, radiance sounded awesome.

radiance in fact, sounded necessary.

"give me some m f-ing, g.d. radiance right now!!!!"

sigh, m needed some zen for snizzle.

as if she knew everyone in class was affected by the winter blah’s,

the instructor began class by talking about the importance of winter

as a time of intense personal hibernation which could,
if we let it, foster introspection.

in other words, the darker it is outside, the brighter our inner light needs to shine.

and then she said,

“ think about what or whom you would like to dedicate your practice to….

and if by chance your own house is not in order,

take this time to work on yourselves
so that you will be ready to help others at a later date.”

whoa

think about my own house?

shouldn’t i be dedicating myself and my practice to more grandiose efforts

like global peace and divine love?

nope, seems the yogis and the smart “relationship people" out there, are in collusion.

it seems like working on yourself…can have a profound effect on a number of important areas;

namely your relationship with your spouse, your parents, your kids, youself and
even the world at large.

we can accomplish this by slowing down and focusing on our
ms not our mrs...wants and desires.

for me, the whole purpose of yoga... is growth.

the whole purpose of this blog... was also growth.

and while i have become a firm believe that growth opportunities can be found anywhere,

at any moment of the day….

there is also no greater opportunity to get your growth on…

than marriage.

interestingly enough…

it seems that by growing up as an individual, your marriage can grow too.

if you don’t believe me…take it from an expert.

growth goodness data found here….

now that, really is radiant!!!
