Thank you Mjudd! Yes, it’s all in the support of each other. We got your back, here. It’s a beautiful thing…

This is a great analogy. I am just recovering from a nasty back whig out and the stretches I did to get me back to an upight balanced pose were reminiscent of life’s paths. Fun site! Keep supporting each other. It’s good to have each other’s backs in a safe, supportive way.

Hi! I’ve been following your blog for some time now, I love it!
I can’t help but recognize where you are, I think. Are you friends with Toby and Linda? My husband and I are and were married there last summer. Funny how were all connected.

Lissa! Just reading your writing makes me feel like I’ve connected with you – you always express your sentiments in ways I’m able to relate to.

Just know you’re not in this alone! I just (today!) signed up for yoga teacher training and honestly, child’s pose is the way to go – in yoga and otherwise. I remember vividly my first time doing Bikram Yoga – wow, hard. It was pretty much child’s pose the whole time.

Thank you – I, too, have been facing a crossroads and your insights have made me stop – perhaps not choose one of the many options, but just see what comes up. Happy Thanksgiving!

Soon as I saw the title to this post I heard the voice of Glenda (I think) from the Wizard of Oz say “Are you a good witch, or a bad witch?” and I laughed…thanks Liss, I needed that.

As a yogini, yoga teacher (now that’s funny) and a laughter yoga leader (or babe as I call it) I concur with the sentiments here – honor where you are and don’t push so much, physically or emotionally, that you create a tear.

Oh, I posted this on FB but I simply CANNOT resist a little Thanksgiving humor…

eh-hem

Just think…If the Indians had given the Pilgrims a donkey instead of a turkey, we would all be having a piece of ass this Thanksgiving! *laughing*

Enjoy all the Gobbling and give thanks – whatever happens, it’s all good. Giggle On!

Whoosh.. really feelin’ ya here, Lissa. Thanks for posting. Gives me a lot to think about in “stretching” thru/in this holiday season. Facing the “out-of-my-comfort-zone family stretch… :\
