October 31st - DONE 2 hours ago

I finally did it! I’ve wanted to enter this competition for years but I always forget, or remember too soon, or just lack motivation to complete an entry. But this was the year. I’m glad I did it, and even if nothing comes of it, at least I can say I entered.

I am grateful for:

- my awesome, amazing Yoga Teacher Training. Weekend 1 is amazing so far, and the people I am surrounded by are so inspiring!
- being surrounded by loving friends as we say goodbye to an old friend who died suddenly and too soon, at 27.
- the sun shining on my face
- life, laughter, friendships and family
- a quiet Saturday night
