Some of you may know I was a CPA and tax accountant for about 15 years. I still hate doing my own taxes but I have to say my background came in quite handy last year. I am sorting through lots of information and was able to use my webpage to download every donation made and fees paid to report my earnings. Looking over the list I appreciate every person who contributed and it helped me then and continues to help me today. So thank you!
I still continue to teach donation based classes but the new job I took at Fusion Academy (in person and online school for grades 6 to 12) came in handy as I not only qualified to get the Covid vaccine as a school teacher but also for teaching yoga to a cancer group at Inova hospital. Both are not very large paying jobs but I feel the work is rewarding and I just love those I teach.
So I went for the first vaccine and had very little problems. I have my next one scheduled in February and I do feel grateful but at the same time I want to step up and be an example, as well as take the risk to see what happens. I have to say Inova Hospital did an amazing job of being organized and had a large room to take in so many appointments at once. I didn't even feel it when they injected me.
Last week was also an emotional day with the change in the White House and for me I went to bed that night and slept better than I had in years. I wasn't even as aware of the amount of stress and anxiety I had been absorbing but watching our government put actions into place in public places, that make wearing a mask a standard, was just the beginning. There is still much for all of us to do and we can each help by being an example of kindness and compassion.
This past week in yoga I have been focused on the lifting of our energy, body and spirit. This is known as the Kapha Dosha season (Ayurvedia Science) and time to rise up off the couch and get moving. If you want to know more about this ancient science be sure to go to my webpage which has more information.
Lately I log on to classes and see faces and names of those I knew from a while ago and so wonderful to see them again. I received emails from a few last week to say you are reading my newsletter and how much 'my story' touches you each week. I am so glad you shared that with me and your words touched my heart.
I honestly hope to see you log on to a class and if not....
...be sure to "Have a good day for no reason!"
