Where was I?

Not blogging, obviously.

Quickly though... I came across a question of my own authenticity with this blog and felt it unfair to continue until I figured it out. Have I figured it out? No, not exactly... but I am a work in progress and with that I felt like writing for a bit tonight. 

If you are my Facebook friend, you probably know I was questioning my own sanity when deciding to get rid of EVERYTHING my ex and I had together. Some background... I have not seen or spoken to this man in YEARS. Like 5 years. Things I got rid of include a dresser, a couch, two chairs, a couple end tables. Which brings my current furnishings to a bed, one small dresser, a couple bookshelves, a dining table and chairs, a coffee table and an end table. And my desk and office chair. In this world of material overload, I was a little worried that I would freak out a little by not having all the "usual" stuff in my house. Like a living room. I mean, I still have the room, just not the usual furniture. I currently use my living room to practice yoga. Anyway, I digress. After getting rid of said furniture, I have a continued desire to purge my living space, and life, of excess crap. I deleted over 700 pictures off my phone. It's almost like I'm getting ready to move without the actual plans being in place to move. Hmmm... Anyway, it is something that needs to be done regardless. I have a lot to go through. I have a lot to purge. This may be known as the great Spring purge of 2014. Only by clearing out the old energy can new things come in to your life. I'm sick and tired of the stories I tell myself that do not serve me. And as I purge these things that I have attachments to, I purge these stories so that there is room for new stories. Better stories. The kind that DO serve me. The kind that propel me forward in my life instead of holding me back. It may be painful for awhile... but only by squeezing out of a cocoon can a caterpillar become a butterfly. 

I'll do a recap of the last two months of all yoga-related adventures in a few days... 

Namaste loves.
