Today I got up very early (I almost always do) and went to a hike I used to do a few times a week. It is very steep and I used to be able to do it with a raised heart rate but still able to hold a conversation. Having been away for a long time today was tough! A good tough. I truly felt my aliveness. I decided not to go all the way to the top and plan to build up to it. When I got to the spot that I felt good about I meditated and then sang this song that was gifted to me by my friend and soul somatic ally Anna Sheridan. She to me, along with my soul somatic ally @Colette Ghunim and we sang it with @Colleen Callan I hiked down to the flat spot with the view of the city and did Jo Kata in each direction. A powerful morning ritual that I hope to do more of. My voice is not like my amazing sisters but I am singing with my full heart for me.

I asked Spotify to play inspiring music. If you haven't done it, it might help us keep close to inspiring music. Example: A Million Dreams by Hugh Jackman and ZivZ Zaifman

Feeling little stumped this morning! would love the community to post Sound Track of the day. I love looking and sharing and today I would love if you all could post this Monday Sound Track of your day. When you share your song tag someone in the group and ask them to share their song. Let's see if we can get a rally going.

“There is no hurry.There is no rush.There is only the slow, steady unfolding.”— Octavia E. Butler A gentle reminder for today: growth doesn’t need to be forced. Notice what’s unfolding at its own pace—in your body, your work, your relationships. What might become possible if you trusted the timing just a little more? or maybe you have a different quote you want to share?

I missed centering today and have been really not practicing this week as I manage a convergence of family and work situations. What is clear is I should be practicing more during times Of heighten stress. I am Traveling and back to committed practice
