Where does the time go? I posted yesterday…15 years of Sanctuary & our son just turned 17. Some of you undoubtedly remember him as a small 2 year old, when I first opened Sanctuary. Now, at 6 feet, he towers over me:)
A few people have asked me about Sanctuary – did it fly by? Does it seem like forever? In both cases (the studio & our son), I don’t really know. I think it’s a little of both. I’m grateful for my yoga & meditation practice – they help me be present during all of it.
When I look back – at all the milestones in the studio & his (our) life, all the shifts & changes that have happened – 15 years is a a good chunk of time. Some moments seem like they were ages ago & others feel like just yesterday.
I generally refrain from giving expecting & new parents advice, but I do like to encourage them to do their best to be present & enjoy the moment (even when it’s rough)…because babies/kids shift & change pretty quickly. So does life. When you’re in the thick of it & it feels like it’ll never end & you can’t wait to get out of it…take a breath…soften. Before you know it, it’ll be 15 years later.
Thank you to everyone who has been & is a part of our Community. There’s been ebb & flow – life shifts – people come & go. My heart is full. This could easily turn into another blog about how much joy being present with all of you on & off the mat brings me. I am so grateful for all of you & your support.
