Challenge yourself





When I first wrote about change back in January, I couldn't imagine the path that would lead me to where I am today, just two days away from a planned 9 week yoga retreat and teacher training seminar in California.
I first became interested in yoga as a way to heal myself because all those years of gardening had taken a toll on my body. My back was strained and my knees were sore. As it turns out, I like practicing yoga as much as I enjoy gardening. So I've decided to take a journey down the yoga path to see where it leads. Although this journey is certain to be physically, intellectually and emotionally challenging, I believe that it will create unimaginable opportunities for self realization and growth. I am a firm believer in challenging yourself. Once again, I am shifting the grain of sand to see what changes lie beyond the dune. Although I am both excited and terrified, this promises to be a very interesting journey.  So, I am taking a break from the blog. I have left the garden in the very capable hands of my husband Larry and I'll see you on the internet when I return in November. In the meantime, enjoy the fall and eat good food.
Peace.
