Hello Friends! As the snow melts and finds its way back to the earth… Running down the street into any opening it can find. It’s a great way to imagine releasing any energy you don’t need…Flushing away those third week of January blues that can be very intense for some. Maybe you can allow all of that dirty, melting snow to symbolize the movement you need to just let some of your stuff go. When I began to write this week’s post I felt the need to share some of the inspiring, funny and profound sayings I’ve heard that have stuck with me. I plop them in my little spiritual/mental "toolbox" so I can access them at any time… Here are a few. Please share some … I’d love to hear them!
I say this one in my yoga classes often, mashup of an Arabic proverb.

Ok... You get the point maybe you take some time to surf quotes that help you vibe happier… Affirmations, quotes, sappy expressions get the "feels" going. And feeling good is always the goal (IMHO) while yes, challenges and setbacks help us evolve… We all want more blissful moments than not. It’s your life… It’s waiting… LIVE IT NOW (hey… quote that 😉)!
