day 14 of fortythree

Happy 14th day!

Today was interesting, and it's leaving me in a potpourri state of mind. I have been looking through my notes and would like to document a few things...

It takes courage: Mantra:

to express emotion My mind is clean & clear

to be creative My heart is open & warm

to be humbled My breath is deep & relaxed

to be wrong

to get hurt

to experience

to believe in your dreams

to follow your heart

to love

to be loved.

A few things I have learned over the years:

1. How to appreciate things I do not like.

2. To accept love - we all give and receive love in very different ways.

3. I before E except after C.

4. City like is stimulating and exciting, but most thrive in the rhythm of mother nature.

5. Salt Pepper and Love are the most important (and the best) ingredients.

6. How to act courageously in spite of fear and doubt.

7. The only bird that doesn't get the worm is the bird that doesn't go out to get one.

8. The right decision is the best decision, the wrong decision 2nd best decision, no decision is the worst decision

9. We can change out genetic make up, our thought patterns and our beliefs though intention and the power of love

10. The wise listen and the foolish speak. Which must make me a genius because I can do both like no other!

This is from a great friend, mentor and yoga teacher of mine, Anthony "prem" Carlisi (http://www.ashtangaworld.com/)

"In order to be an authentic teacher, you must first cultivate your own internal power and perception through your own personal practice otherwise you are merely passing on techniques & methods that are just information-oriented and lifeless"

I believe...

in power of our dreams

in the guiding voice within

in the power of the heart

in the immaculate abilities of love

it is never to late to live the life you deserve

it is ok to love yourself:)

Mantra:

Breathe Breathe Breathe

open open open

allow allow allow

peace forgiveness love

As for the growth of my business...I am still playing tug of war with feeling I need to know everything. Shit, Im getting so great at this game! I want to find the most perfect name. AND ITS NOT COMING TO ME. Everyone is saying, you will know...it will come...follow your soul...ah I wish I knew now:)

Making moves, I am going to meet with a graphic designer/artist this week (hopefully if her schedule allows). I have also connected with someone to teach me photoshop and illustrator. I would like to have some basic knowledge so I am not 100% reliable on others to create for me:)

I am open, I feel guided and supported. I love my friends and family and I love the magic that seems to be happening every single day.

Thank you:)

Aloha
