gratitude

Last night, I got to try out two new & wonderful presents that two of my very kind Facebook friends gave me for my birthday from my amazon wishlist. I snapped a quick selfie as I was setting up in the studio last night... the first time I've ever been brave enough to take a photo in the hot room.

Much gratitude to Craig for the beautiful mat.  This photo doesn't do justice to how lovely the pattern is.  It's also nice and sticky, unlike my old mat & it's a travel-weight mat, so it's light as a feather and easy to carry in my bag without bogging down my shoulder.

Thank you, Rhonda, for the fierce and velvety tiger towel.  When I'm in balancing stick pose, feeling more like a "broken umbrella" than a "capital letter T"  - this tiger face looking back at me gives me a surge of energy to engage my muscles and get back to proper "T" status.

I feel so blessed and grateful for the kindness of friends. You are amazing and now you are with me each time I practice. Thank you.
