Week 20 Beauty All Around

Week 20! Twenty, you guys.

We are closing out five months. Five beautiful, scary, glorious months.

What an honor, what a gift, what a privilege.

In my opinion, Thrive is a living, vital thing; a force to be reckoned with.

The way that seedlings seek the sun - Thrive was coming. 

I'm so glad we took the leap and road the wave that is Thrive. 

This wave has taken us exactly where we dared to dream it might. 

Although I believe Thrive was meant to be, that doesn't mean it came without struggle. 

I feel as if we, too, have pushed our way up and out and are just now tipping our faces to the sun. 

We have so much more to learn. So much opportunity for growth - and it feels so good to reach, stretch and breathe deeply.  

I'm not sure if it's this stretch of glorious weather, the birds singing (except for that one who sings at 4am outside my window), or the beautiful display of nature all around - but right now is just absolutely beautiful. 

Sweating excessively and laughing in barre yesterday - beautiful. Getting a new air conditioner later that day - possibly even more beautiful. 

Deep breaths in yoga this morning - beautiful. 

Preparing for the kids classes - beautiful. Hearing the excitement about Restorative and Reiki next weekend - beautiful. 

I know it won't always be this way. I know the ups and downs are part of the process - part of the journey, and that these struggles are what make the beauty that much more precious. 

But, for right now? Right this moment?

Right now, it's so, so beautiful.
