THEMES to THINK ABOUT

Circle of Control:

"Welcome to hurricane season...June 1 - November 30th. We pray that it will be an uneventful season as we always prepare for anything that may come our way. Although we do not have control of the paths these storms take, we remain aware and depend on the experts and technology for updates in order to stay safe.

When our personal lives become stormy, it is very important to remember that we DO have control of how we navigate through intense times. Our inner being is the perfect place to go for strength and stability. It is the place to find stillness and peace as we sort through such challenging times. This place within us is always there. Always. Yoga helps us to find this important place. " ~Deni Ashby, Ocean Om Yoga, Edisto Beach, SC

Seasons:

"There’s an opportune time to do things, a right time for everything on the earth"~ The Message, Ecclesiastes 3:1

Everything has a beginning a middle, an end. Every life, every thought, idea, or experience. Hang on!

Life is Difficult:

Life is messy. We all experience trauma. Go with ease and hospitality. Keep it simple. If you can explain it to a young person, you understand it. What God is asking us to do is not complicated, but it is challenging. God's got this and God's got you. We are in community because we love each other as God first loved us and need each other. You can do hard things because God is ALWAYS with you! Live like God is REAL.

There is NO ONE who can do what you can do to make the world a better place!! Don't compare yourself to others, you'll come up short (like me) or tall (meaning you'll feel superior). We are ALL the children of God, no one less than or better than the other. You have to be healthy, strong, and confident to do it. "Together as a community we can achieve more, inspire others, and reveal a brighter future for all of us. This isn't just what we do, but who we are." ~Global Family Yoga https://www.globalfamilyyoga.com/
