It’s September. The kids have made their way back to school, and my mind is filled with All Things resembling New Beginnings.

I remember the excitement and anticipation of a new pencil box or Trapper Keeper, as well as The Choosing of The First Day of School Outfit. Starting at a new school, especially when shifting from elementary to junior high (or middle school to high school), was filled with excitement tinged with a little (or a lot) of angst. Just when you think you have this school thing down, a new location with new rules was thrust upon you!

This year has been like joining a new school for me. This year, I made the decision to become fully self-employed. My new cliques include yoga teachers and members of the gig economy. I’ve practiced yoga for over 25 years and have been out of college for the same about of time. So the “new rules” I’m living life by are often unexpected and usually uncomfortable. But I have to say, like those first few classes of a subject you unexpectedly LOVE, I’m loving the shift in my perspective as I am creating this new business. Because I am in charge of both creating and implementing all of my classes, retreats, and content, I feel that the fire that’s been burning within me is sparking energy and has less of a chance to fizzle out.

So that uncomfortable space?

That’s where the growth happens.

What do you want to create for your life?
