Sometimes, especially in periods of flux and apparent downturn, its important to acknowledge how far we've come, the close connections we've made, and the wonderful way we're each blossoming as people. (I know that grammar is all wrong, any English teachers out there, I'm taking poetic license).
I thought I'd support myself in this by listing here, my favorite things that people have ever said to me, about me. Not to brag or toot my horn, but just to summon up a reminder in myself that of how incredibly much love pours my way every day. I invite any of you to sit down and try this out too, it'll really pick you up on a bad day.
In gratitude...
*"You're like a juvenile Maude" (as in Hardold and...)
*"Well, it's not always easy to be a pioneer. But its in your blood."
*"Tonight, your voice sounded like the universe vibrating."
*"Just practicing the old 'Neilson eat-sh*t, huh?" (lovingly, when snowboarding)
*"I've been secretly hoping I could pass on the business to you someday"
*"All this might just amount to a hill of beans, but I don't care. This is our hill, and these are our beans!" (Yeah, I still count it)
*"You know out-of-body experiences? Well that was an in-to body experience. Wow."
*"Stop trying to make everyone else proud, Heidi. You've done that already. It's time to live for you, now"
*"You try to fight it, but you can't help it. You ARE a yoga teacher."
*"I've loved every part of you for the past 2 1/2 years. And I always will."
