“Begin doing what you want to do now. We are not living in eternity. We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand- - and melting like a snowflake.” Sir Francis Bacon

Unless it’s too cold for the snow to melt, then you can savor the moment a little bit longer.

It delights my senses! I see the sparkles on the untouched snow. I feel the cold flakes on my skin. I hear the crunch of snow under my boots. I taste it on the tip of my tongue. I breathe in the fresh, clean air.

I savor the moment that makes me feel alive!

I am in a country of which Spanish is the official language.
People walk by and greet with Bonjour. Or Hola.
My question is, do I greet them back in their language or mine?
If I respond in like kind will they assume I also speak their language or should I respond in English with a simple hello?
I’m not sure. (Although it’s quite obvious once sound comes out of my mouth that I speak neither of those languages!)
So I sit with my shadow.
Not unafraid to speak.
But also not putting myself out there.

Yet.

Because I’m positive that Bonjola-ello is a word!

On this day I decided to cook a meal for a client who is recovering from surgery. For some reason Butter Baked Rice popped into my head. I had not made this in over ten years!
But I knew exactly what cookbook it was in and what side of the page it was on! (this from the girl who has to tell herself out loud where she left her keys just so she remembers)
I don’t live close to a grocery store so had to get creative on what else to make using the ingredients I already had.
I put on my apron and got to work. I played music, chopped, grated, danced in the kitchen, washed dishes, and gave myself a hug.
So many memories filled my eyes with tears as my hands put love into this meal. Memories of my daughter and I cooking and singing, memories of my son and I chatting about life as I washed and he dried the dishes, memories of making something special when the pantry looks bare.

It is true we store trauma in our bodies and find ways of avoiding it too. But we also store good memories. Even if they are tiny little glimmers. My heart knows some things. Cooking for other people is how I show love. It’s been there all along. So the Butter Baked Rice Recipe popped into my head because it was a good memory. (it was also one of the recipes where I learned about cooking in liquid at high altitude)
I also made Hasselback Chicken stuffed with Apples and Honey Goat Cheese wrapped in Bacon, Cabbage Beet Carrot Salad with a Dijon Mustard Dressing and Pepitas, and a Mixed Berry Crumble.

But the real star was the simple Butter Baked Rice.

And love.

Today I tried to savor the warm sun on my face, but I couldn’t so I turned to face my shadow.

Today was hard.

Today on my walk into the woods I jumped the creek on a game trail.
I jogged up hill. (I don’t like to run.)
I admired the moose in their habitat and told them how beautiful they were to announce my presence.
I listened to the aspens and they let me breathe with them.
I looked to the mountain tops rising into the blue sky, as if they are telling old man winter to bring it on!
I met someone on the trail with a dog off leash and was able to resist my urge to run. (My brain thinks all dogs off leash will bite me based on previous encounters.)

Do you ever just feel like it’s a great day to be alive?!

This is what living in the moment means to me.

Not all classrooms have four walls.
Not all yoga is practiced on a mat.
Look to Nature. She has answers.

A beautiful day on Lake Atitlan, Guatemala! It’s another beautiful day! The birds are singing, the sun is just coming up, the water taxis are starting, the lake is coming alive.
All with a sense of order and calm.
Add a bit of playful yoga and we going to have a great day!

Our Story

We are in the business of changing lives! We created our YogaSpa with your self care in mind. Take an active role in your own well-being and happiness and make time to get to know yourself better. Nourish your physical body, your emotions and your spirit! A massage after a class where you have moved your body into postures that stretch and tone your muscles will take your Savasana right onto the massage table. A Restorative class where you are fully supported by bolsters and pampered with blankets pairs nicely after a relaxing massage so your entire experience ends in Savasana. Our Mission is to create a Community of Care for every guest to feel supported on their personal journey. Whether you are joining us for a yoga class, therapeutic massage, workshop or event, we invite you to let each moment unfold as it should. There is an inner light in all of us that we sometimes forget about. Be YOU and Let it Shine!
