Namaste

Today I was sad I wasn't able to give my mom a hug and tell her how much I appreciate her. She is the reason for my successes and I wouldn't be half the woman I am today without her being my biggest fan and best friend. A big shout out to you Mom, Happy Mother's Day.

Spending Mother's Day with the second best mom I know though was exciting, as everyday here has been. We went to our hot yoga session, then brunch at Coquettes, and finished the day indoor rock climbing! Surprisingly enough, it's a blizzard here in the Springs today, but we didn't let that ruin the day.

This morning our yoga instructor reminded us that the past is a memory, the future is a fantasy, and that the only thing that we can do is live in the moment that we are in. Since unplugging and actually living in the moment since I have been in Colorado, I have started to appreciate a lot of things that I think I forgot about when social media was consuming my life.

If you know me well enough, you know that my two biggest fears are failure and heights. Today I was challenged to climb the rock wall and not fail when trying to get to the top. This was a battle between my fear and pride, but after a couple of times, I set everything aside and made it to the top.

If there is anything that I have learned since being in the Springs it's that fear is just a state of mind. You don't have to be scared to take that extra lap, climb a little higher or fail a few times. In order to get where you want to be, and be the best that you can be, being scared is perfectly normal and failing a couple of times only makes you work a little harder.

To everyone who is working towards something to better themselves, I say Namaste to you.

"I honor the place in you in which the entire universe dwells. I honor the place in you which is of love, of truth, of light and of peace. When you are in that place in you, and I am in that place in me, we are one."
