That's me.
All teary eyed.
And please excuse me, but I feel the need to document this big day.
This step in a new direction.
This manifestation of yet another dream.
Today I signed on the dotted line. I handed over some money. I made a huge commitment to myself and this wildly crazy journey I'm on.
Here it is....
Next year I will officially be in a year long, highly intensive, knock-your-socks-off Yoga Teacher Training & Advance Studies program at my beloved yoga studio Yoga Pura that I have been a member of for almost five years.
Year after year I think "oh I should do this"..."oh I would LOVE to do this".
But I always talk myself out of it.
I don't have enough time. I don't have enough money. I haven't lost enough weight. I'm not really ready. Who do I think I am.
But, yes, I don't have enough time--this commitment is crazy-
really--what am I thinking?!?!
And yes, I don't have enough money--seriously, how am I going to do this?
And yes, my body is far from the perfect images that drape across the cover of Yoga Journal.
But yes, I am ready...and I trust that it will all work out perfectly.
Yes I am ready to commit to a practice that has given me so much all these years.
Yes I am ready to get a grip on time management and solidify my priorities and just do it.
Yes I am ready to be a student, to go deeper, to be pushed and challenged in way that scare the hell out of me.
And yes, I am ready to make myself a vessel--in hopes that I can bring the gifts of Yoga to others. That yes, I can heal...and bring healing to many others.
Yes, I think I'm ready....and here I go.
Thank you for sharing this exciting day with me! BIG hugs to everyone!!!

I think it's great that you are following your heart and soul with this dream. It is also a dream of mine to one day become a yoga teacher, if I can just figure a way out of this pain...
Who knows? Perhaps I will be able to help others who are in such pain one day? That's the way the universe works sometimes.
Good luck on this journey; it sounds like you already have a solid foundation of practice, spirit, and determination- you'll be great!!!
