On the drive up to Shasta I was thinking about how this time last year I was going through so many things and what this past year has brought me and where I'm headed and I decided that Shasta really represents my "new year" so to speak... so in the introductory session, upon introduction, I said that I wasn't really here for the yoga, but, rather, for the experience and as a kick off to my new year.

And a new year it will be.... I can't wait. Things are, well, things seem to be gel'ing. It seems like the things I'm looking for are there.. they are there... they are just waiting to be seen and some energy poured into them.

I am sitting atop one of the most magical places in the world with some very beautiful people. In all honesty I'm not here for the yoga. Practices have been tough.. my body isn't used to second series, I have much fear in that practice... but the hikes are good... I'm in much better hiking shape and so much love and support here. I love the girls I hang with here. I'm so happy that Shayna and Kati are here.... I just love them.. and I love feeling so accepted for who I am... and talking so freely and being so open and feeling in such a circle of trust to be so open.

Ahoy Matey! (that was for you Shayna, I hope you were drinking something when you read it).

The Daughter has had some issues which I'll blog over later.. this is the quick update... that Shasta is everything and nothing... amazing... this is the place where I feel it all go away... and where the center of energy feels grounding and light ... flight and rooted all at the same time.

I got a ping today from a large software organization wanting to talk to me about what is hands down my dream job. It is the title and the role and responsibility I have always always wanted... always. I also got invited to be on a panel of 10 members of experts in my arena... daunting and flattering... As they say, a door closes and 5 more open...

Manifest, visualize, believe... and most of all aspire.
