Drum Circle

Went to Vastudio tonight on a whim to see some drumming. Turns out it was one cool guy and lots of cool drums. Dancing and smiling and happiness ensued.

I keep encountering people who are unhappy, and I struggle to explain what it is that I've found that makes me happy. I mean, chi and kai chi do and calm within myself. Remaining rooted. All of this makes a lot of sense to me, but to others? Who knows. How can I convey to them what took me so many years to find?

Truth is, I can't. That's the point. I found something and grew it inside myself. I can't force that seed to grow in others. But I can give them the seed. Plant some sort of inking, some glimmer of a thought, that will grow in them the way it needs to. Therefore, patience is required. It is, in fact, a lot like planting a seed. Water it and give it sunlight. Keep talking and open up the subject. But more importantly, give it time to break the surface. You won't see the growth right away. So I guess that's the important part in spreading this. It needs to be nurtured and given time, and room, to embed itself.

With that said, I hope I will be able to help plant as many seeds as people I meet.
I love you all. Namaste.

Hey loves. Just got out of my first one on one yoga/meditation class with the beautiful Liz Manko. It felt so good after a day of stressing and overthinking. I literally woke up this morning because my thoughts were so loud. Anyway, I realized maybe I need to focus more on creating a calm place inside myself instead of trying to rearrange those things outside myself to make me feel better.
Stress, in fact, comes from within.
And then, lo and behold, I log onto facebook and find this article: Positive Changes to Make Your Life Easier. So I thought all of this cumulated into a lovely little blog post. Hope I put some calm in your day!

Hey all! As I start this journey, one that I hope will last a real long time, I figured I should find a way to document - and share- my thoughts and experiences. So here it is. 


Eventually, I will use this as a place to get my classes out and help people find their own way to yoga or Kai Chi Do. For now, it's a work in progress. So as Charles, guru of Kai Chi Do would say, "Welcome Aboard!" 


I hope you're as excited as I am. :)
