Let It Be Sunday, 179!

Hello dear friends!

I’m grateful that you’re here – I know there are all sorts of other ways you might choose to spend your Sunday morning.  Have you felt like a success this week?  Oh… we’re measuring our success in sweat these days, so…. let’s just say we’re all really quite successful this week.  

It’s been one of those weeks where it appears that most everyone went on vacation without us… unless you’re one of the folks on vacation to which I say… hey, you went on vacation without me.  Good for you, honestly. Well done. 

This month I’m a) drinking a lot of lemonade.  b) thinking deeply about whether or not I even like the new Drake album (shrug). and c) studying anatomy in yoga teacher training. A few other actually important things are going on but listen…. if I have to find my pelvic floor I don’t want to do it alone and I think you should at least know, if not join me.  Big stuff over here… I know it. 

Here is the reading offering this week.  May you enjoy it with coffee or summer water in hand.
