I love this for all of us age 45 + and really any age but it lands well now. How does it resonate with you?

A month before her passing in 2017, Louise L. Hay wrote something that still resonates deeply:

“I’ll be turning 90 this Saturday. My younger years were filled with fear, but now my days are filled with trust and confidence.

My life didn’t really start to make sense until my mid-40s. At 50, I began writing—on a very small scale. My first year, I earned just \$42. At 55, I ventured into the world of computers, which terrified me, but I took classes and overcame my fears. Today, I own three computers and travel everywhere with my iPad and iPhone. At 60, I planted my first garden. Around that time, I joined kids’ art classes and started painting. In my 70s and 80s, I became even more creative, and my life just kept getting richer and more fulfilling.

I still write, give talks, and teach by example. I’m always reading, learning, and growing. I run a successful publishing company and two nonprofits. I’m an avid organic gardener and grow most of my own food. I love people and parties, have many loving friends, and have traveled the world. I still paint and take classes. My life has become a treasure trove of experiences.

I want to encourage you to consciously shape your later years and realize that they can be the most rewarding chapter of your life. Your future is always bright, no matter your age. Let these years become your treasure years.”

With love,
Louise Hay

JOY FAM! If you’d like to dive into the deeper meaning of yoga keep reading.

Karma - actions of body, speech, and mind that influences outcomes in this life and future lives.

BURN KARMA - my space in the Living room on the Mighty Networks app is practicing and learning ways to dip into the flow of engaging with our true nature which will inevitable dissolve the qualities that do not serve our lives and increase the qualities that do.

I also make a lot of inappropriate jokes.

Check out the best Living room around! Since we aren’t really inviting people into our actual living rooms but we want to hang out…sit on my (virtual) Burn Karma Couch and let’s light the soul fire together.

3 months free. Then only $11 dollars after…and oh, you get access to all the collaborator spaces. A bunch of bad bi***es or rather powerful and magical goddesses - their virtual couches with like-minded members.

No shower or hors d’oeuvres required!

Peace Begins Within
The big world reflects what lives in each of us. When we learn to sit with our own wounds, listen without needing to win, and soften instead of striking - we plant peace that can ripple outward.
