Living in the moment

I am beginning to live more and more in the moments of each day and not worry about what is to come. I also believe that everything truly does happen for a reason. I would not be where I am today without going through everything I have gone through. And I love where I am. I came across this quote recently by Jack Kerouac “Be in love with your life. Every detail of it.” Those are some big words, but if you think about it why wouldn't you want to be? Every detail of our lives teach us something and help us grow.

Now don't get me wrong, I do have my schedule, lists and goals, however I also know that each moment is a blessing and one I will never get back. It's also about being flexible like today for example. I took the day off work and I was doing some yoga teacher studying at Starbucks when a friend texts me about going to a yoga class. I wasn't sure what I was in the mood for, so I suggested a regular class I go to with one of my favorite teachers. Instead we decided to try a studio I had only been to a couple times with a teacher I had never been to before. It turned out to be just what I needed! Very relaxing, yet still a bit challenging with savasana bliss. Okay that example may only make sense to a few of you, but I hope you get my point. :) It reminds me of an intention from lululemon's manifesto “Do one thing a day that scares you.”

As most of you know I am taking the next step in my life as it pertains to my career. I've been at my current job for nine years (just had my anniversary November 24) and even though it will be very difficult to leave, I know it is time. The question is do I continue with marketing, however not at an ad agency, or do I take a different road with a more yoga-centered focus. Both I enjoy and both I could see myself doing full-time. I have also had opportunities come up with both and I know that yoga will always be a part of my life if I'm teaching one class a week or ten. The next couple months will tell the tale and whatever decision I make, it will be the right one right now.
