Hello Everyone!
I hope you’re having an amazing summer! I have had one of the most whirlwind summers of my life! It has been full ever since school ended on June 7! It has been full of mourning, joy, pride and gratitude and without my amazing family, cohorts, clients, friends and lake, I am unsure where I would be. It takes a village.
My mama has cancer and now also some other serious health concerns = mourning.
My son has returned from two weeks in Italy where he hiked and ate to his hearts content = pride + joy + gratitude.
I also got to spend a few days in Italy walking the porticoes of Bologna and eating amazing food = gratitude.
My husband and I are celebrating our 20th Anniversary and I love him unconditionally = gratitude + joy.
I am about to teach my first Thai Yoga Bodywork Practitioner Training Level One and am grateful to my teachers = gratitude + pride.
I have taken in only a few beach days but am always brought to peace with my lake = joy.
Thank You Duluth and Minneapolis….it takes a village.
