Staying Cheeky, Giving Pause, and Coming home
Pre-sabattical…who knew what would ensue shortly after this post was written…
Darling Ones....
S/he said,
'love all the parts of me,
the trees, the flowers, the bees
the honey, the rivers, the seas
what sees and especially your needs....
(could have been knees😂...was in the car at the time, still 🤔 )
only then will you truly see and feel
how you are me, we are thee,
this is real...
and you are free
to be...'
Over the past 8 years, I have had the enormous pleasure and joy of welcoming many people into my home to share ....food, ideas, concepts, and mostly experience. In a way, it was my coming out... of the spiritual closet....
to learn to love my inner weirdo....and it has been...beyond words 🏔 .
/səˈbatɪk(ə)l/ noun
a period of paid leave granted to a university teacher or other worker for study or travel, traditionally one year for every seven years worked.
"she's away on sabbatical"
'They' say...in a class, a yoga student has one teacher ...but the teacher... has many...teachers...so I am grateful for all the teachers who have come to me in the classes grace has given to me to guide.
And so, with great joy, I am choosing to listen to s/he... to take a sabbatical...I'm planning to take some trainings, do some workshops, to bike, swim, laugh and play...to be.
The word sabbatical has its roots in the sabbath, to take a pause from work. Not one to be orthodox 😉 in any way, I will continue to teach on a very select basis, privately, if this interests you, please enquire.
This Wednesday will be my last class for awhile, sorry for the short notice, s/he works that way sometimes. 😍
London is filled with wonderful teachers, the abundance is at times astounding ....the key to finding your next teacher is always to listen ....
Don't ever be ashamed of loving the strange things that make your weird little heart happy.
So stay tuned....and for those of you who stayed...seated, gave me your pause, and got cheeky with me two treats in one ...and many many many thanks for listening!
