To love a person...

To love a person is to learn the song
That is in their heart,
And to sing it to them
When they have forgotten.

Libra - That's Me!

Jennifer over at Pink Heels posted her Sagittarius 2009 prediction from Yahoo.com. How much fun is this? I loved what mine says, here it is.

Year 2009 Overview for Libra - that's me!

Brilliant ideas come easily into Libra's awareness throughout 2009. As you trust your higher self and allow thoughts to flow freely, you are able to embrace new opportunities and make positive changes in your life. You come to a higher level of understanding and appreciation as you let go of old ideas. You're no longer separated from what you want as you to detach from limiting thoughts, bringing you a new spiritual perspective of feeling fully supported and loved.

As you stay centered within your core, your highest ideals manifest, and you have the ability to help others realize their interconnectedness, and bring balance into their lives. Your efforts bring you into a more stable way of working than ever before, an important development, what with all the changes occurring this year.

You are a natural conduit, and you are able to receive messages that will help you grow in every area of your life. You have a strong inner sense of direction for where life is going, so trust and allow your struggles to be released.

What does 2009 have in store for you? Take a look...

Creating Space...

Ever felt stuck? Like, nothing is changing. It's all the same. Nothing new, all old? That's how I've been feeling recently. What is up with that? I'm not sure and I stopped asking the question. I decided it was time to Create Space for new, grander and more inspiring things to come into my life.

What does that mean, you ask?

On the yoga mat: Twists - twisting out the old to create space for new in my body. New cells, fresh blood, new thoughts, new feelings.

In the house: Cleaning, decluttering - clearing out and organizing the pantry, the refrigerator, little spaces behind little doors or drawers. Whatever I have not used in the last 6 months is going to a new home.

On the computer: WOW! I have 4 email accounts and two of them both had over 700 emails in the inbox, 4000 photos to be sorted and backed up, over 50 subscriptions in my Reader. I have set up folders and tags to organize emails as they come in. I have unsubscribed from many blogs and newsletters and scheduled time to start organizing and backing up the photos.

At the library: There were over 15 books in my queue - there have been up to 30. I took all of the ones I know I will not read off the list. Today I picked up two and knew for sure I would not read one, so I dropped it off at the counter as I walked out the door. I now have 3 books out and three requests waiting to be filled.

And that's just the beginning.

Ever felt this way yourself? What did you do? How do you create space in your life?

WoYo A Go Go!

Happy New Year and come WoYo with us! Practice every day for the month of January. It is so fun and a great way to inspire you to your mat every day.

Tomorrow I will be focusing on twists to twist out the old. I'm ready to bring in the new.

...its first chapter...

“We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year's Day.” ~Edith Lovejoy Pierce

Happy New Year!
