guest post by LJT Fall brings out the introvert in me. Though the weather is just barely starting to shift, I can already feel myself beginning to turn in more. I’ve been thinking a lot about what I’ve learned this year. What I accomplished...and what I didn’t. Do I still have the same dreams as I did before? How do I feel and how do I want to feel? Here's how: less rigid, more fluid. Curious, inspired, and delighted...every single day. I want to feel strong. At ease. In love. I want to be good to others and to do meaningful work. To live with awareness, of myself and others, and to help close the gender wage gap (okay, that one might take awhile). And I want it to be fun! Mostly what I want is to be spirit-full. And I want others to be spirit-full too. Spirit, from the latin word for breath. Breath: not just our literal breath, but our soul, our energy. Full: not lacking anything, or containing or holding as much as possible. (Anything is possible!) Spirit-full: full of breath, full of life, full of energy. What are you hungry for? What makes your heart beat? When you look back this time next year, what do you want to say about who you are and what you've done with your one wild and precious life (as one of my favorite poets, Mary Oliver, wrote)? What I want for you is this: to wake up every day feeling how you want to feel. For you to be proud of who you are and what you do. To be inspired. To inspire others. To be, well...free to be whatever you want. With that in mind, I'm offering a two night workshop this fall. We'll work on cultivating a clear picture for your life. We'll talk about how to have a healthy relationship with it...wanting what you want without guilt or fear or judgement or too much attachment. And we’re going to work on removing the barriers that get in your way so you can decide for yourself: what kind of life am I going to live...and then go do it. To be totally clear: this isn't resolution setting...because that just doesn't work (for so many reasons). Resolution means the act of solving a problem; you do not need solving because you are not a problem. You're good. For many years, my favorite sanskrit mantra has been: om mani padme hum Which (loosely) means: the jewel of the lotus is within. You've already got it, whatever it is. Here are the details... Dates: Wednesday, November 19 and Wednesday, December 3 6:30-9PM Cost: $200 (early registration, by November 1); $250 (after November 1). TGL readers get 10% off signing up early registration. What you get: Two nights, five hours total. Community. A new way of looking at and creating goals and resolutions. A new way of being accountable (one without that mean ol’ burden and blame albatross around your neck). A vision for your new year. Signing up? Questions? Comments? Requests? Email me. And please feel free to share! L-O-V-E, love!

She is not only a killer yoga instructor (B calls her his "sensei"), but she is also a genuine, caring, purposeful, love-filled coach. I trust her whole heartedly, and highly encourage all of my west coast pals to consider joining in on this great opportunity to get spirit-full. Living your best life is a birthright -- and this girl can help you claim it.  me and LJT, circa July 4th 2013 :)
