Farewell to Summer

Even though the fall equinox came a couple weeks ago, I've been trying to hang on to summer a bit longer. Spending this change over in Phoenix, with the beautiful weather and sun shining, helped me cling to the fancy free feeling I've had the past couple months. A magical summer of travel, new experiences, and an open mind. The last week of September I attended several yoga classes and in almost every one, the teacher spoke about the seasons changing and our lives possibly shifting. This immediately engendered a nervous feeling in my stomach and a tight sensation in my heart. Does autumn mean I have to check back into reality and possibly take myself a bit more seriously? Panicked I started to reflect on my mindset over the past few months, and how I consistently felt reassured about my decisions and why now I thought that might change. Then I realized-nope-no reality check necessary. I can take my summer state of mind into every season. Maybe the sun won't linger but I am in control of my attitude and my future. So embracing change and seeing the leaves change (here in Kansas City) I'm excited for the next couple of months. But I wanted to post my last set of summer photos from the final Wanderlust festival of the summer. In the beautiful Mont-Tremblant.

Farewell to summer...

yoga is my life

Happy Baby! One of my favorite yoga poses. Every time a teacher instructs the class to go into happy baby I think of my beautiful niece Aven pictured to the left. She is definitely one of the happiest babies I have ever met. Speaking of yoga I took the most amazing class last night at LifePower in Scottsdale. The teacher, Anton Mackey led an exceptionally inspiring class that both kicked my butt and helped me let go of any stress in my life (at least for a couple of hours!). Great music, great energy, and truly challenging sequences. I practiced next to my friend Guru, who is a gorgeous yogini with some pretty fierce tricks up her sleeve. I recently took some photographs of her and wanted to share!

Beautiful and inspirational! So lucky to have such an incredible subject to photograph! Get out and try yoga if you never have !!! Namaste
