A Gift for You

They say it's better to give than to receive, and my children will testify that this is especially true when it comes to homework. Well, I have some holiday homework for you. It was an assignment given to me during a Restorative teacher training with one of yoga's most respected teachers,  Judith Hanson Lasater. I'll never forget her having all of us take out our pens and notebooks to write it down. After an intentional pause she said "You are never to rush again." And as you can imagine, the 80 some odd people in the room let out a collective laughter-gasp, as though each one of us wanted the floor to explain why that was absolutely and fundamentally impossible. 

Judith explained that in her life and with her work as an internationally traveling teacher and presenter, she very frequently ends up in situations where time is impossibly tight. She recalled being caught in traffic, nearly missing an airplane connection when a child's birthday was at stake; we can all relate. "We will all always find ourselves in situations where we need to move quickly from one place to the next. We will always find ourselves in situations when there seems to be more things to do than we seem to have time to do them. But rushing only adds suffering to these situations. And everyone has the same amount of time."

So my gift to you is this holiday homework which I hope you'll take with you into the new year. Stay strong, breathe deeply, and you are never to rush again. And if you need any help with any of all that, you know where to find us! 

Sending you happiness and hope this holiday season and I'm looking forward to seeing you at one of our celebrations and hopefully 31 times in January as we launch our 3rd annual 31Day Challenge. Details on all our amazing happenings on the side bar.
