Gratitude
Coming off a long weekend of intense body + mind/soul work through Yoga teacher training I was inspired to actively show gratitude this week.

Which has been one of the best things for my family, especially when I was a single parent. Up and until that dreaded Oct 2018 meeting this meant I really could have my most ideal schedule that really worked around my family allowing for some amazing Work, Life, Balance. Now with the changes I still have the pleasure of creating my own schedule from week to week, the twist now is the number of hours available…
