On kindness – there are times in your life when you know that you have been through something, you know you have grown and tested your mettle, you know that you are on a new plane and in a new awareness. You just know. Today in chanting one of the yoga sutras about truthfulness and about knowing who you are and standing up for it, I felt like I was on a different plane than I have ever been before. A rocking mama as my yoga teacher called me.<\/p>\n
Again a perfect yoga moment to meditate on as my day progressed to a surprise phone call from a relative who I adore. When I saw the name flash on my cell I was delighted. I mistakenly thought it was a call about how is Tin doing, how is being a mom going, how are you?<\/p>\n
That wasn’t what the call was about.<\/p>\n
What I have found at the end of the day is that you can’t have true happiness in your life unless you know who you are. And I know who I am. I know that I’m not perfect nor do I want to be. I know sometimes the best way to act and sometimes I don’t act that way. I know in the end, I will continue to work towards my own self-actualization and there will be collateral damage.<\/p>\n
But I know most of all that at the end of the day, it’s those people who love and support this imperfect me who I will love and I will love the imperfections in them back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
