The Fire Horse doesn't linger in comfort zones; it demands movement, evolution, and authenticity." — Diego E. Berman

Happy Lunar New Year! I have only learned about the significance of the Year of the Fire Horse in the past few weeks. This idea of upheaval and change certainly speaks to me, as I am getting ready to move away from the place I've called home for the past two decades!

In those quiet moments when I reflect on what I am leaving behind, there's sometimes a bit of fear/trepedation. When I stay quiet and explore my mind for the reasons, it comes back to those comfort zones. In some parts of my life, I have allowed myself to become stagnant. "Comfort" is fine; "stuck" asks for change.

When we travel, we ask ourselves to move and experience something new for our minds and bodies. We become more aware of who we truly are as the differences between "home" and "elsewhere" become evident. We meet ourselves out there. We are face-to-face with our own authenticity.

On the yoga mat, we may stay comfortable—avoiding any challenge out of fear. Instead, remember that yoga is a way for us to practice facing fears and to distinguish between Discomfort and Pain, for example.

As you move forward during this time of emerging Spring, find the quiet moments in the midst of the rushing and the evolving, and decide for yourself which way to guide your future. Take the Reins!

I have a few offers to keep you occupied, as I may be away from this newsletter/blog for a few weeks. I will keep you updated from my new home very soon!

In gratitude for your presence,
