St. Valentine’s Day! Worked at the studio and wished everyone a Happy Valentine’s Day – I mean why not. People say it’s a made up holiday (aren’t they all?) but I think anytime a light can shine on LOVE why not let it shine for a day. As one long married yoga student said “we celebrate valentines everyday” and I felt that.
We set up a little ‘offerings to St. Valentine’ with candies, flowers and fruit. I think it was super cute. The water bottles were custom designed by local artist and business collaborator Gabe Pons. They say “Yoga is Love” and it truly is. Loving yourself and what your body and mind can do, loving your community by practicing loving kindness and for those of us that work at the studio, loving your coworkers. We have the best team.
I came home to a little surprise, Mike got me some chocolate covered strawberries at Wegman’s. That place goes ALL OUT! He got caught up. Listen, I love, love so get caught up in it, Mike. I’ve loved him for so long, but it still feels the same. I am so glad, I know that not everyone feels that way about their partner. I.AM.LUCKY!
The monks made it to their hometown in Texas and watching their homecoming brought tears to my eyes. Venerable Pannakara cried as he was greeted by his Master, it was just a beautiful display of emotion and devotion. May you and all beings be well, happy and at peace. I am. Bye for now.
