Changes, changes

It's been a while, almost 2 years to be precise. I got pregnant, gave birth and now have a 1 year old son, named Manu the love of my life (along with my husband and two other children). I am happy with life and except for the momentary chaos of moving homes, the only major hiccup in the past couple of years has been the absence of asana practice. 

I am grateful for having a family, a roof above our heads and home-cooked and healthy meals every day. What has been eating me up though was not being able to come to the mat, fatigue getting the best of me and with no energy from being up most of the night with my baby and reserving the energy that I had left for homeschooling my older kids during the day.

Since Manu turned 1, I have been trying to have more Me time by re-connecting with my Teachers recently. I have often read about the experience of many who suddenly breakdown during practice, mine finally and thankfully came while lying in Savasana after a full primary series practice and with my head bashfully hidden under my towel. E and B, it has been so rewarding to see you again. In photo below from L to R: Sig, Moy Becky, Me, E and Ly at this year's Global Mala Project celebration.



I am inspired. Om, Om, Om.    http://www.stillpointmanila.com/index1.html
