<p>Loved the blog Adrienne! What I love about myself? What a great question. One I really need to think about at this time in my life. I have been on a journey that I wasn't prepared for. For the last 2 years I have been supporting and caring for my husband who has been on a cancer journey. He is now recovering Thank the Stars. 4 weeks after his cancer surgery ( March 2023) I went for my mammogram and was diagnosed with breast cancer. Whew!! not prepared! I found thru the last 3-4 months that I have much more strength that I thought I had. I am recovering from my second surgery (2 days ago) and now  onto radiation treatments.  Strength and my family have got me thru and I know will continue to do so. STRENGTH Yes! that is what I love about myself. </p>

Such a lovely surprise! Thanks for taking the time to spread Love halfway through the year! Your inner light shines through Adriene. You never fail to amaze and to deliver. You’re such a bright star! This is going to be lengthy! Thanks for asking. There are many good things I love about myself. One of them is my adherence to….my True North. The North Star. My Polaris! I focus my attention on maintaining my connection to my truest, most authentic and innate nature, my True North. I am not perfect, I am human. And that’s what makes me as special (in my mind’s eye!) as everyone else here. I am unique. And I recognize and honor that in everyone. I have a lot to share. I aim to do my best to maintain a purposeful sense of existence - to make my life be of greater service to another fellow being. I prioritize my self-care. Because in doing so, I am well able to serve others with integrity and respect. We all could use more love and kindness. Spread joy and light to everyone. Since the global pause, I vowed even more to keep my pledge to make a difference in someone else’s life - to be a part of the greater good. That has kept me me on an even keel. Well…generally-speaking, i.e.! Knowing I am an essential part of the universe keeps me humble. I am an essential part of everything, and that keeps me motivated to show up for myself everyday with whatever I have. When I practice self-love, I have enough space to share with and for others. To be well and thrive. I put things in perspective, that even though I am just a tiny speck of dust in the grand scale or scheme of things, I can and I have it within me the wherewithal or the power/ability to make a fellow being’s life better and easier for them. To know that it’s available and possible for me to do so, is so empowering. Whenever challenges arise I surrender, accept and allow the process to unfold, trusting I have it within me to find my way back to balance and my intention is not to grow bitter but rather, to expand and grow even better, more stronger and welcoming of each present moment. Life is more beautiful when my core is engaged, I have the will to (manifest my intents) show up the way I am (because Adriene says it’s okay!), my heart is filled with unconditional love and gratitude as my inner voice grows more kinder/loving as I tend to my inner light and I grow more in my yoga and mindfulness practice. I love how I embraced myself, promised and assured my whole being that we will be all right. I remain faithful to that mindset. That everything will be fine. We have the tools and the framework to navigate our way through anything. Focus on what I have control over with every breath intake and outtake. Accept and let go of anything and everything that does not serve and trust that everything will be fine. In essence, I Love All of Me. All my flaws and imperfections, as the good within me far outweighs the icky ones! I love this safe space, the FWFG team, this wonderful community and my inspiring teacher Adriene! Being her is an act of self-love to the max! This safe space has given me so much leverage to show up consistently and make my innermost intentions possible. Not chasing after happiness, but content knowing I have it within me to find ease when challenges arise. Balance. Joy. Spaciousness. Contentment. Compassion. Empathy. And so much more goodness in my toolbox of wellness. I ♥️❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 myself for prioritizing self-study, self-love, self-care for gifting my whole ecosystem with a daily routine of showing up to practice on the mat with you Adriene and this whole community! I L💚VE Y💜U ALL! I am so honored to be practicing here along with this wonderful community. Peace, Light and Love to everyone! May what I share touch everyone else’s life for the better. It all starts with Love! Love always wins! And yes Adriene, thank you in advance for to all the upcoming contents, your new workspace, your upcoming wedding and all your plans for this space and your own personal ones!

Wait, did Adriene just say that the yoga with Adriene house is not her home? I thought it was all filmed in her dining room? 😳

Benji’s question really got me thinking… i really love that i am very positive and i choose to look at the bright side of a situation! 😁😁

I love that i could feel internally, deep down, a connection with what Mary Oliver speaks to in her poem that you read so lovingly. Thank you, Adriene.

I love that i think ao deeply at times. Sometimes it drives me crazy but i appreciate that i care so much. This dont hesitate spoke to me because ive taken on a dog as a foster and have been trying to make it so i can keep her. But i dont think i can. And when i think about trying to find her a new home it dors make me feel more relaxed. But then i overthink it. Is she my soul dog, i feel bad for keeing her longer than ecpected etc. she is a beautiful fawn doberman and i thknk if i just put out feelers and find someone who would give her a better life than me i could feel okay with that. Its just hard to take the steps but maybe this is the message i needed to hear dont hesistate

<p>I really loved the Mary Oliver poem - favorite saying today: "Joy is not meant to be a crumb." What do I love about myself? The fact that I don't give up, even when the chips are down. My house is messy, my mat needs love, and heartburn is wrecking at my body today - even then, I won't give up. I'll tend to it until I feel better.</p>

I think I’m hilarious.

<p>One thing I love about myself is that I am a teacher. I feel blessed to have this calling. </p>

I love that when i go astray, i always find going back to the mat grounds me.
