How often do you schedule time for yourself? Are you willing to take that pencil and dedicate a piece of your planner for yourself? Are you ready to make yourself a priority, or at least as necessary as the list of to-do's that are for those that you love and support?

I began to slip down a slope of anxiety and fear that felt all too familiar. I don't know if can do this again. What do I know for sure? What skills have I learned, and what can constants can I rely on?

To celebrate “returning to normal” and keep us moving through these hot summer months, we'd like to invite you to join us for a Summer Movement Challenge!

The freedom from pandemic restriction came suddenly, but our freedom to make daily choices to show up with courage, strength, and grace has always been available.

We have long awaited this day and we are ready to move forward into the new normal.  However, we are not ready to abandon all of what we have learned, or the additions we have made to our safe space.

While we are moving in the right direction in our efforts to protect our community from the risk of Covid-19 infection, there is still work to do. We have taken many precautions to keep you safe and comfortable while in our space.

We have weathered a series of storms, and I am not naive enough to think that it will be completely smooth sailing from here on out.  But I am going to be bold and announce that it is time to enjoy the “flowers” of the hard work we have put in. 

Am I holding onto fear and anxiety because they serve a purpose, or is the fear rational and used appropriately? What exactly am I afraid of?

Wherever you are during this time of remembering, one year gone, focus on what you have learned, how you have grown, and how it will serve you and those who share your life.  We were meant to come out on the other side with a new awareness, grace and patience, and most of all acceptance and understanding for one another.
