"Firsts" ~ without YOU

I went to the store without you to get dog food and coffee.  That was a first for me since you've left your earthly body.

I walked the isles of Walmart without you.  You use to have to hold the cart.  I walked alone.

I've mowed the lawn several times without you here watching me from your swing.

I had to figure out how to turn the water off under the house.

I've watched TV alone.

I no longer hear your shoes clomp down the hallway.

I not longer have to hear you walk into the bathroom door if I don't leave it open for you.

I have to keep the light on for myself when I come home in the dark.

After I come home from a hike - you aren't here.

I want to physically talk to you.

I often go into your room and say my name out loud to myself, just to hear my name being called.
   (that especially brings the tears)

I still make a full pot of coffee each day even if I drink a half a cup.

I bought groceries the other day.  Brought them home and realized I had way too much.

I had the family for dinner for the first time since you've left.

Played with the grand babies here without you -  its hard each time.

For the first time - I GET to pick up all the damn leaves in the yard.  NEVER ENDING!  Even have used the leaf blower.

Bedded down the garden without you.

Finding your treasures for the first time.

Making the house payment - paying the bills - selling items - cleaning our your shop - saying good-bye to your earthly things - saying good-bye to Jenna - feeling sorry for Pawko - Lucy is a stinker - cleaning the house - making decisions alone . . . .

On and On like a flowing river - FIRSTS - and never lasts - without you!

All the little things you did for me - I am so grateful for.

Thank you, Brent Day, "I LOVE YOU"

Perfect Order

As I was waking up this morning, with the window open (I love the open window, with the cool breeze in the morning and the birds chirping) there was a constant distant sound, reminding me of the constant vibration of my heart and the constant pulsation of this earth, the universe and all that we are connected to and with. Reminding me that all is well, all is in perfect vibrating order, all is beautiful as it should be.

My mother taught yoga at the YWCA when she was younger and now I encourage her to keep up with her practice. I also encourage others to practice so they too can enjoy the benefit of yoga on a daily basis.

It has changed my life and I truly believe it will change yours for the better.

I have taken the National Registered Yoga Training, which gave me the RYT title of a nationally trained yoga instructor. I am constantly taking new classes, exploring new techniques and finding classes that will help me to understand more about the body.

I love being a mom, I love gardening, quilting, of course yoga, having a good time with friends and reading.

My Yoga Intention

I teach Vinyasa Flow Yoga. I love to use the skills and techniques I’ve learned in my training, but especially I want to share the Love I have felt and gained from my own practice. Each class is specific to the needs of my students. I rely on my intuition as to where and how to be guided for each individual.

I teach an opening up to the heart with grace while having the intention of placing body, mind and heart in alignment with the flow of all things.

I focus on drawing deeper inward yet with less effort to the muscular energy of the body, while strengthening, and finding stability.

I love to explore the possibility of coming to the center of things and getting deep into the core of the body, so you can feel what its like to enjoy your true inner self, whether its on a physical or mental level.

I encourage my students to direct the breath to the core, to get a sense of your true breath, PRANA (life-force).

My intention is to assist you to a place of a better understanding and find your own peace and strength, and to create an attitude of grace, ease, and a fullness of the Inner Self so your true inner luster of Spirit naturally shines forth.

(The light and love that shines within my Heart, honors, salutes, and greets that same beautiful light that shines within yours.)

Namaste

Karen Day
