Last week at Slow flow yoga we just slowed down, moved and strengthened and then rested without guilt. We thought about how we could bring this feeling with us off the mat and into our week. Noticing where our bodies and mind need to pause. Yoga and breath work allow us to settle and notice. We are part of nature and nature is resting, drawing in and preparing for spring. Thank you Donna for the lovely poem.

Baking dreams went up in smoke this afternoon . 🙃 But this little disaster actually brought a big lesson from Buddhist philosophy: the parable of the two arrows.
👉 Arrow #1: The actual, physical pain of seeing my time, ingredients, and anticipation turn into charcoal. That initial sting of disappointment. This is unavoidable pain. It happened.
👉 Arrow #2: The mental anguish I choose to add on top. The self-talk: “I’m a terrible baker,” “I wasted money,” “My session will be ruined,” “Why do I always mess things up?” This is the suffering.
The core teaching is this: You cannot control the first arrow (the cake burning). That’s life happening to you. But the second arrow—the unnecessary mental melodrama and judgment—is entirely self-inflicted and completely optional.
Today, I’m wiping the metaphorical soot off my face. I’m letting the second arrow fly right by. It’s just a cake. I’ll make another using a back up cake mix or even buy one on the way 🧘‍♀️🧁🥮. As parents we often have these moments, things don’t work out how we have planned 😜
