Those were the first few sentences\/thoughts\u00a0I wrote to begin this post back on January 9th. Then I got stuck. \u00a0As February rolls in, I realize that I had not finished the\u00a0post. \u00a0As I look at my bullets of the intended thoughts, and the week’s that lie behind me<\/em> since the Women\u2019s March, I notice how frozen I have been with words. Politics creeped in so deeply and frighteningly, that it seems to have locked out all my joy at the start of the year. #OrangeDumbFck #TrumpIsSUCHaDumbFck #NotMyPresident seem to be all I have said in words.<\/p>\n
It became difficult to express lightness, joy and bring warm, open arms to my movements and help my students find and experience it themselves with the heaviness of heart weighing on us at this point in time. \u00a0For that I am angry and upset with myself. \u00a0#Truthspeak<\/p>\n
Getting UnStuck<\/h1>\n
Today, February 3rd, I am turning the page back to the affirmation of my work. Turning the page back to my focus for the year. Back to focus on #Truthspeak and conscious living. Back to\u00a0loudly living my goal-set mantra of speaking the truth and leaving the lies on the floor.<\/p>\n
One of my friends and first Pilates teachers, Elin Benson<\/a>, left us yesterday after a hard fight with cancer. Elin is a shero<\/strong>\u00a0of mine. She pushed for excellence in teaching and training and I am grateful for her example in living. I chose to operate as an independent Pilates instructor and studio, 15 years ago, as a result of words she unknowingly shared. #Truthspeak<\/p>\n
The other shero’s I will be modeling through the year for reminders of courage<\/strong> are Meryl Streep<\/a> who showed up to speak up and out at the Golden Globes, for reminders of strength<\/strong> are Jody Domerstad<\/a> who used neurosculpting\u00a0to ground and rewire her mind and body back together. #Truthspeak<\/p>\n
For reminders of staying mindfully connected<\/strong> in our past and present, Oneika Mays<\/a> is my shero for taking Freedom Riders bus tour with her parents as our country shifted politically backwards. #Truthspeak<\/p>\n
