Haven't posted anything for a while now. But recent contact with old friends has inspired me to get back to my blogging! Please excuse my former entry. I was rather punchy from too much being at home. That's all better now. In fact, I'd love to have the problem of being too much at home and hope to have it again. My life has, in the past year, been way too focused outward. After all those years of intensive internal work and focus, I find I have to learn how to balance these things in my 50s! I've done a lot of the inner work, my 'human homework,' as Jean Houston used to call it, and I've been feeling called to put all that learning into action. To give back, to serve. What you want to call it.
My first foray into that territory has been to help my Portland yoga teacher and my yoga community through some challenges and recreate something new. I find my talents and experience are best suited for helping people confront and step through whatever is the most difficult and frightening thing to them at the moment. In other words, whatever piece of shadow they need to confront at that time in their lives. Good thing the form of yoga I practice is called Shadow Yoga. Very handy.
I plan to continue to help as things develop with my yoga community, but I also plan to get back to my own work and see where I am needed next. Get my marching orders, so to speak.
Btw, that's Mila, my vision quest dog, in the picture. Found her during a vision quest last year, right after it actually, and took her home from New Mexico. She is now about 45 pounds of the best dog imaginable. Here are current pictures of her:
