I have a "mini" altar to meditate at during my travels. It helps me stay close to Spirit and is a focus for meditation. I like to add items from the place I'm visiting. The Aragonite on the right I purchased at Taos Gem and Minerals. The sage on the left was tied by a man from Taos Pueblo. He places tied sage near the entrance for people who pass by. It is free, reminding us to share what we have with others and of the generosity of First Nations.

I had a challenging day today. I've planned my trip to Taos for six months and today I went to the airport to begin my journey.
I won't tell every detail, but my flight out of NOLA was 5 hours late. They rebooked my connection from DFW to Taos and then rebooked it again. And couldn't rebook a third time because no more flights.
But, the attendant in my section was pleasant. The man in the seat beside me was pleasant as he and I discussed possible options for me.
Before yoga, I would have ran for the bar and it probably would have been tequila shots. Today I had some nachos and talked with a fellow passenger.
Then, we arrived at DFW and I found I am booked on an 8:30am flight tomorrow to Taos. Where's my luggage? Not on the carousel. Track my bags says its off the plane. I go to to luggage counter and find it's being held for my connection in the morning.
But, the luggage counter man was nice and he gave me a cute little emergency bag with (thank you Shiva) a brush. It's kind of a weird little brush, but I can brush my hair!
Before yoga, I probably would have yelled at somebody or I would be unhappy and think about all the things that went wrong.
But, I'm okay. Tired, but okay. And I can sleep because anger isn't living in me.
Yoga has done this for me.
Take your yoga with you when you step off the mat.
Namaste. 🙏

The beauty of the world is all around us. Look at the patterns in leaves, take off your shoes and feel the earth beneath your feet. Let the sun warm your skin. Breathe deeply. Feel your root chakra grounding you. It's a beautiful day! 😍

As Turtle Yoga closes its doors on Belleville Street, I can't help but reflect on the time I spent there teaching yoga, practicing Reiki and finally, moving into Shamanic instruction and Quantum Energetics.
It's been a journey of learning for me.
I am deeply grateful to the students who walked into our studio, to Raegan who shared my journey from day one to closing, to Heather Turner who created beautiful sound beside me, to Cindy Mohammed who brought the Essence of the Flower into the studio and to all my friends who supported me off the mat.
A special thanks to family members who supported me behind the scenes with website assistance, painting, repairing and moving.
Yoga teaches us non attachment. I move out of this space with a heart at peace and with excitement for the next adventure.

Namaste,

Marjorie
