unedited for 100 days. Day 36

Is it just me or are there some major transitional vibes all over the place right now? Of course the season change has an impact on our bodies and energy levels. This past week in Seattle we experienced very rare seventy degree temperatures in late March, inspiring an uproar of sleeveless park goers and fair weather runners (yours truly included). Vitamin D coming from it's truest source is just about as good as a glass of bubbles. We Seattle dwellers especially appreciate the buzz, refusing to waste a single free minute inside- even pumping gas becomes a sacred past time as long as we have a sun ray on our face. Still, aside from all of the sunshine activity, it feels as though there is a movement of personal growth inspiring us all, along with a trend of reprioritizing. As a yoga instructor, I have the privilege of hearing personal stories before and after class. It never ceases to amaze me how much variety we can fit into one room. Even with all the different stories, there often seems to be a theme that connects us. Lately, I'm picking up on a theme of change. Maybe it's the weather, maybe it's the new moon or maybe it's the buzz of the 2020 election. I'm not sure it matters. But what does prove to be significant is the way we connect with one another through the one constant that we all know. Change is a gift. It's a quiet reminder that none of this is forever. And it's a gentle (and sometimes not so gentle) nudge to check in on our priorities- because maybe instead of wishing things were better, we can make them better. Cheers to us for not just rolling with it, but instead steering the wheel ourselves- rolling to where we want to go.
