<div class="editor-content"><p><span>Happy August my darlings! Thank you with all my heart for being here and for sharing your practices with me. What an honor it is to know we are never practicing alone and to be supported by the feeling of togetherness and belonging. I love FWFG so much for this reason. <br><br>In this vlog I share where I am headed (like right after this vlog!) I also lean into the community theme of this month, offering what is on the page but also some thoughts and ideas for other avenues of entering into a month of manifesting. (Pro tip, let it come to you?)<br><br>I cherish this time together, so thank you for watching and for sharing your comments and conversation below. <br><br>See you on the mat! <br><br><br>Excerpt read from…</span></p><p><em><span>When Things Fall Apart <br>by Pema Chödrön<br><br>In life we think that the point is to pass the test or overcome the problem. The real truth is that things don’t really get solved. They come together for a time, then they fall back apart. Then they come together and fall apart again. It’s just like that.</span></em></p><p><em><span>Personal discovery and growth come from letting there be room for all this to happen: room for grief, for relief, for misery, for joy.</span></em></p><p><em><span>Suffering comes from wishing things were different. Misery is self-inflicted, when we are expecting the “idea” to overcome the “actual,” or needing things (or people, or places) to be different for us so we can then be happy.</span></em></p><p><em><span>Let the hard things in life break you. Let them affect you. Let them change you. Let those hard moments inform you. Let this pain be your teacher. The experiences of your life are trying to tell you something about yourself. Don’t cop out on that. Don’t run away and hide under your covers. Lean into it.</span></em></p><p><em><span>What is the lesson in the wind? What is the storm trying to tell you? What will you learn if you face it with courage? With full honesty and – lean into it.</span></em></p></div>
