Gratitude November continues. I made that up, but pass it on! ☺️

And practice being thankful EVERY day, not just once a year!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Friday! For new followers of Black Cat Yoga, Arts, and Inspiration, on Fridays I will try to share something about myself so you can get to know me. Who am I? What do I do? Why do I do it?

My background is in education. I was a college professor and administrator for 35 years. My areas of expertise are communication, women’s studies, and leadership.

Fast forward to today, I still love learning, and my passions are the same (taking on some kind of leadership role to help other women). I am currently studying with some coaches who are helping me kick off a new venture (to be revealed soon - stay tuned!). I’m learning about “heart-centered” leadership and entrepreneurship. It aligns with my philosophies and what I want to do.

Heart-centered business owners want to help others by offering their leadership and services. Their passion drives their business. Life coaches fall into this category. Therapists. Yoga teachers. Reiki masters. Etc.

You may be a heart-centered leader and business owner, too! I may have connected with you on social media for that reason! Maybe you haven’t launched your business yet, but you feel it calling. I want to applaud you if you are in business and encourage you to move forward if you’re on the fence. The world needs you!

It’s time for Monday Motivation!

You know the saying, do more of what makes your soul happy… well,
It’s not just a catchy phrase. It’s a lifestyle that nurtures your soul, energizes your body, and boosts your mental health. So, you should definitely do more of what makes you happy!

I witnessed this over the weekend when I went out of town to visit my son and daughter-in-law. My son, Alex, loves doing local theater and was in a play. It brings him great joy and it shows; he was happy, connected, satisfied. And he already has another part lined up in the next play. I believe we each need something on the horizon to look forward to (for me it was my recent trip to Italy) that we know will be a positive experience.

The path to joy isn’t elusive—it’s rooted in knowing and incorporating those things that bring you joy into your daily life. Then you light up from the inside out every day! That’s a healthy state of being!

Hello! It’s time for Monday Motivation!

I was telling friends the other day about an inspirational book I read recently. It’s a short, easy read that reminds us to find joy from within and that nobody else is responsible for our happiness.

The book is called “Mystic and the Secret of Happiness,” by Anne-Claire Szubaniska. It’s a heartwarming story of a cat’s journey to find happiness. The reader follows Mystic the cat through struggles and lessons, as he overcomes his fears and learns that he must choose (as do we) to be joyful, happy, and grateful instead of sad, depressed, and lonely. Obvious lessons for us.

Have a joyful week!

Travel. For many years, I craved travel and adventure in my life. Not only did I want to break free from my routine (working an office job then going home), I wanted to be pampered a little, and hang out with cool people who enjoyed the things I enjoyed (like yoga and healthy eating).

So, I went on a yoga retreat. My friend Tina Jones taught this one and it was held in Mexico Beach, Florida (2021). A small group of women gathered, shared space, shared plant-based meals, practiced yoga, collected seashells, went on nature walks… it was great and finally fed my soul. It was deeply satisfying.

Of course, this escape only fueled my desire to do more travel! ☺️ (more to come… ).
