Something about the space

There is something about having the space in your life to move as you need to that settles the soul.  One year ago I felt restricted, slightly tied down, anxious for the next adventure, and unsure about friendships and relationships in my life.  And now at the end of the year I really feel like I took 2012, kicked its ass into submission and started owning my life.

In leaving Colorado, the home that I have known for 29 years and moving across the world with a man I love in a way that cannot be described

I seem to have answered the questions of uncertainty.  However, to be honest that was not my intention.  You see, regardless of the fact that I have spent my years in my hometown, I am a runner.  When challenged I usually bail ship.

This commitment to leave probably could not have been done with out the unbelievable support of so many people.  And now in the last remaining hours of 2012 I can reflect on the changes and know that I am going into a new year pretty excited.
All the question of friendship that I had prior to my departure have been clearly answered.  Bonds have grown stronger, even those I never expected to even grow.
My relationship with brother has become awesome.
I really appreciate the "parenting" part of my parents now.
I have my sisters, who are dear friends that I speak with regularly.
I have acquired a sister that is like family, she kinda took me by surprise and we have had our moments together but now being so far apart I really delight in the moments I get to share with her.  She is my boyfriends brothers girlfriend and she is spectacular.
I have begun to feel like family to Jeremie's family and appreciate that sense of support.
In addition my family has never been so supportive of my relationship.  All things that were probably there before but really show up when you can no longer take the small things for granted.
When I left Colorado I was ready to take a break from yoga and teaching and step away.  I was tired of the lululemon, the "rules" of yoga, the flowy talk, the injuries, the blame, so on and so forth.  But by leaving I realized that I believe in yoga!

It all seems so much more defined for me, I am not struggling with inspiration or connection in any of these areas.  My heart feels open, to sound quite cliche, but WTF it really does.  And I also recognize that according to murphy's law now that I have written this something is bound to humble me.  Look forward to that post!!!  :)  

I am going in to this next year with a passion to create the person I want to be, with clarity on who I love, what I love, and why I love.  It's all about love!  And, now recognizing I sound like a hippy it is probably time to bring this message to a close.  I hope you all have an incredible new year!  It is not the time change or the new year that matters but the choices that we make to become our best self.

PS.  I really do believe that love is what it takes, no matter how hippy it sounds.
