Trust in my body. Trust in my body's ability to do all kinds of things. This has really been one of the hardest things for me and I think I finally figured it out. I was in one of my favorite yoga classes on Sunday and our instructor told us to choose an intention as … Continue reading Trust
I'm going to ignore all the bad and the ugly this year. That was my 2016 post. There was too much of that. And you all already know about that and experienced it with me.

The point is I have been meeting twice … Continue reading Getting Stronger
