RROOOAAARR!!! I love the kitty/lion pic-Shanna Montana. I was thinking along those same lines this morning. I was reminded of something Wayne Dyer said on one of his tapes that you sent to me, Mom. "It's none of my business what other people think of me. It's their opinions." He says that after he gets done giving a speech , if there are 1000 people in attendance, then when everyone leaves, he has 1000 different reputations. He can't control that. All he can control is the way he conducts himself. So Ma, you take a mental image in your mind of a huge rubber stamp with the words CANCEL, or you could use REJECT, and CANCEL/REJECT the "friend" who sent you that nasty text, and don't believe for a second that you are any of those words.
Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can hurt forever....IF I believe them.
As for my physical bones. I moved them, and stretched and worked my muscles up Drinking Horse Mountain. The local Bozeman mama's started a hiking group and I decided to join them. Well sort of. I thought I missed them and hiked up myself, with Jude in his baby carrier. He slept the whole way up and then awoke for the ride down where I met up with the other 3 moms. They had stopped to take a break and hang out. I walked down with the leader of the group-she also happened to be a yoga teacher. We talked about dancing, and yoga, and martial arts. Wonderful networking experience! She told me about this dance group-FREE-two nights a week! I'm super excited! She also gave me some inspiration because I've been tossing around the whole teaching yoga thing, but have been going back and forth just because I feel like it's played out, there's already a billion yoga teachers, and do I really want to spend $3000 more on "education" when I've already spent $100,000? However, there aint a billion dance/yoga/martial arts-combo. teachers. Good advice Shanna about doing yoga and inviting others to join. Because I don't need to be certified to do that. And I don't necessarily have to be certified to do anything. I can learn how to do anything I want and I can teach myself if I want to!
I found a new cool meditation:
Inhale-"The Spirit of God is within me"
Exhale-"The Grace of God surrounds me"
Thanks so much Shanna for cleaning the house. It was an AWESOME surprise. It really made my day! What a great day it was! Ended the night with a swim. I thought Jude had swimming lessons but after we got to the hot springs we discovered that the pool was still closed for repairs. So we snuck into the hotel again.
Well ladies I think we are doing pretty damn good at our new challenge. Go Power of 3!!! Love you sister and mom! I'm so happy and grateful to be a part of this amazing experience of change and growth with two wonderful ladies! "WE ARE FAMILY!"
