It never fails, this always assists me in knowing that no matter how "bad" things may seem, there is still so much good around me. I must admit though, I've been feeling much like you as of late. I'm sorry about the yoga studio. Change is very scary, but try to have faith that everything will work out as it is meant to.Mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06223074827415107140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486193827401290239.post-53209475645160725442013-10-16T10:19:54.855-07:002013-10-16T10:19:54.855-07:00Thanks Blue, for taking the time to comment here!Thanks Blue, for taking the time to comment here!Katherine Jenkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16732133918969183030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486193827401290239.post-23101855166968972142013-10-16T10:18:54.466-07:002013-10-16T10:18:54.466-07:00Hi Christine, Thanks for your very constructive co...Hi Christine, Thanks for your very constructive comment full of so many ideas! Lots of what you mention here is already happening...it just hasn't fully come to fruition yet, but it is happening. Yoon and I are already collaborating on a very new direction and the next phase of our journey together. A Kickstarter campaign sounds great and we'll see if we can put one to use in the near future. I've learned to take things one day at a time. I'm heading off over Christmas to participate in a silent 10-day course. Going inward always helps me to expand outward. I appreciate you taking time to leave your comment here!Katherine Jenkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16732133918969183030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486193827401290239.post-89754885197315885762013-10-16T06:06:53.389-07:002013-10-16T06:06:53.389-07:00Dear Katherine,
Your honesty is refreshing and you...Dear Katherine,<br />Your honesty is refreshing and your dilemma universal. Change is challenging, it takes courage to realize something is not working and to take action. However, we always have choices. Clearly, moving the yoga studio to your home is not a feasible longterm option. Trust your intuition and respect your needs.<br /><br />As an aside, have you considered a Kickstarter campaign to raise funds to launch a new direction for the yoga business and your life? This is a great opportunity to change gears, fine-tune a business/life plan, and articulate what it is that is crucial to you separately and as a couple. Who knows perhaps a greater collaboration between your work/writing and Yoon will emerge? Also, consider a meditation retreat and a time of reflection before any major decisions are made. Having a Buddhist practice teaches one many things, not the least of which is patience.<br /><br />Thank you Katherine for your generosity of spirit. We all grow by your sharing.<br /><br />Keep writing!<br /><br />ChristineAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17673513568386923052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486193827401290239.post-62857008972959760072013-10-16T04:10:08.783-07:002013-10-16T04:10:08.783-07:00Here on the East coast, it is already the new day ...Here on the East coast, it is already the new day whereas those of you out West are still asleep.
