The Art of Living


As I continue through the process of re-examining the past as it relates to the problems I've had with addiction, I am also revisiting those things that have previously proven helpful to me but that I've gotten away from for whatever reason. Things like meditation, yoga, mindfulness, prayer and ritual.

I attended a party, an Obama-rama actually, given by my fabulous friend, Cyndi, a couple of weeks ago. There was a beautiful couple there that did African drumming and dance and their positivity and energy was awe-inspiring. You know how it's just obvious when you run across people that are living their lives to the fullest and spreading their light everywhere they go? Much like my friend Cyndi herself, and a lot of my blogging friends I might add.

Well, I subsequently received an e-mail from Cyndi about a course that the woman is offering right here in Polson called The Art of Living. Now normally this is not something I would be able to afford right now, but she's offering it at a ridiculously low price and I'm so excited that I'll be able to participate Feb. 20-24! Sometimes the universe offers the perfect gift at the perfect time and this feels like one of those.

Yay for gifts from the universe!

Also, btw, if you feel like messing with it, I passed you an award. I'm fine with it if you don't want to pass it on, since I hate doing it myself, but I always feel like a grinch if I don't, so...you're it! Hahaha!

(Yes, I'm a little giddy and weird today. :) )

Now, your experience may be totally different (and if you go I REALLY hope it is!), but I didn't know if you remembered...

Thinking of you,
