“Votes are in for our August book club pick and I'm delighted to let you know we're reading "The Book of Delights" by Ross Gay.

 This will be our third book club meet up, and a recurring theme has started to emerge in the books we've been drawn to.

We keep coming back to JOY.”

“My childhood cat, Ishtar, was still thriving at the time. She was a wild little thing as a kitten with an untameable spirit. But by the time I returned home, she had mellowed out into a regal indoor queen who preferred soft blankets and easy meals.”

“Tomorrow is that day.

Its something different for everyone.

 Maybe you stay up extra late to wrap presents, or you wake up early to prep for your cousins coming over. Maybe its just a day to get sunburnt and start drinking cruisers at 10am, or to you its just that day where you earn double time and a half and you make bank.”

“While in India, I myself spent it with the local animals, rather than studying for my yoga teacher training (just because I own studios doesn't mean I was the brightest in class, I literally studied for philosophy exams by having a nap with "The Four Chapters of Freedom" open over my face in an effort to absorb the knowledge). I much preferred to be doing yoga with their company.”

“Lately, I have been experiencing moments where I feel a glimmer - that little buzz of happiness in my chest - when I reflect on how very blessed I am to have been able to learn from YOU in my teaching practice. 

You might be surprised to hear that, as a yoga teacher, I am not here to ‘teach’ you. I view it more as a role to hold space for you to explore YOUR practice. I am simply a stepping stone. “

“Its feels pretty dang marvellous for Karen, Samantha and I to continue to write emails each week literally about how this community can get involved in doing good, sharing the actual goodness and just all around love to serve and work together type of vibes."
