<p>Thank you so much for this beautiful message, it's been a rough 7 months here on the planet 😪 I start cancer treatments next week and the love and support I'm receiving takes my breath away. Thank you for always being here for us. I love you all 💟🧘‍♂️✌️</p>

<p>FWFG=family for me. I don’t post often but I feel everyone’s presence and support. Thank you for making this a safe and lovely space to just be. </p><p>And- the video of the walk w/Benji had me tearing up! I too have pets in their older years, and I treasure the time I have with them. </p><p></p><p>Photo below: Chica watching me work at my desk. </p>

<p>I spent a good chunk of my younger years finding what feels good--or so I thought. I'll admit that I had a lot of fun, but there wasn't anything good about it. In my late forties, I happened upon YWA. At first "a little goes a long way" kept me coming back. Now after nearly five years, my daily practice is solid, and I've found what feels best is showing up for myself consistently, especially when I don't really want to. In my life as a whole, FWFG has evolved from chaotic indulgence to loving devotion, and that is one humungous shift! Ever so grateful for the guidance. 🙏Good on you for prioritizing time with Benji. Here are my best friends, Robert and Maurice. We spend significant time laying around together. ♥️</p>

<p>The word I would use is support. YWA helped me find myself after losing my son. I'm in the best mental and physical place I've been in, maybe in my whole life, bc I found YWA. Thank you ❤️</p>

<p>I would use the word ‘Haven’ to describe what the FWFG space means to me. Thank you for your vlog Adriene, I appreciate you and your authenticity so much! I completed day 5 of the Ritual series today and I am loving it - it is helping me navigate a really difficult time in my life right now. I’ve also been drinking the water with lemon and going for a walk which I do most days when I can - I love rituals, I’m like my cat that in that way! Below he is having a moment of stillness 🥰😊Thank you and love you 🙏❤️</p>

<p>I don't think I have ever posted but so grateful for you and this community. I love all the vlogs but this may be my favorite. So many things I connected with on this one. Been out of sorts last couple of months. Ritual is one of my favorite series. Working on my 200 hour training now. 2 months to go and I am scared to death to present my final 60 minutes flow. And I see a yoga therapist who has has greatly helped me. May look into that training after 200 hour training complete. Pacific Northwest is a magical place. Sundays, higher power, all of what you said. And your Benji is like my Archie. Love to you and all in this community. Love is the word I think of. ❤️</p>

<p>(the thumbnail for this vlog really gives me such bad vibes it recalls old army propaganda and stern teachers, not the good kind like you Adriene!) -if anyone knows how i can hide this vlog thumbnail showing on my page for this reason, I'd love to know. felt petty to comment on it, but after two weeks now of being bothered by it, id rather take positive action. the content within is, as always, wonderful. 💛</p>

<p>I paused my membership after 3 years in 2024, to redirect funds to do some professional development. And this month I rejoined, I am soooo happy to be here! This place is my virtual woods🌳🌳🌳</p>

<p>FWFG is a loving, open community where I experience kindness and encouragement.  You and this community have helped me grow in so many ways. I have practiced yoga for nearly five decades though not always consistently. Since exploring yoga with you I have not missed a day of practice in seven years- even when sick pranayama helped my body and spirit to heal. Through practicing with this community I have learned self acceptance, opening my heart to myself, and giving to others from a place of fullness. My heart overflows with love and gratitude to you dear Adriene and the FWFG family.  (Gem likes to join me. If he is upstairs and hears your voice he comes trotting  down to join me.) 💜</p><p></p>
