Transition and change are the theme today (okay, and just letting you know what I've been up to). Back in October of 2013, my husband started a new job at a start up company. Super exciting for him, but the office location was two hours and ten minutes from our house. The good thing is that, being a computer guy, he could work most days from home. The general plan was, if things were going well, we would move from Virginia (where we have lived in the same area for 20 years) to be nearer to said job located in Maryland.
Fast forward and, the house was readied for sale, sold, we put a contract on a house to be built, we found a place to rent in the neighborhood we're moving to, and packing commenced.
I said good bye to my yoga students, many that I had been teaching for 5-10 years!!

In the midst of these good-byes and last classes and packing, our middle child, Cameron graduated from High School. He'll be going to Florida (which seems very far from Maryland) for college. It has been lots of work navigating the school web site and all the information to get him registered properly!
Moving was super hard. Clearing out a house of 14 years where three children grew up was a lot of work. I definitely practiced some non attachment (a good yoga practice) and physically for all of us we were worn out. Remember your yoga back stretches! A little bit of yoga can go a long way.
Trip #1, ready to unload. |
This is our dog Lissa, hanging out with all the boxes! |
This is my craft area, that is all set up for use. Besides yoga, being crafty helps relax me! |
The vacation was great! I like to go for walks and do some yoga on the beach in the morning AND that's what I did! There's not a lot that is better than that!
I've just started putting out my info and looking for places to teach yoga, so we'll see where that goes. I took a yoga class at a studio in downtown Frederick and that felt wonderful.
So the sum up of this rambling post is that change is good--exciting, worrisome, stressful, and it will be alright!
