Hello! I’m sorry for the long silence!! We took a family vacation for three weeks to visit my husband’s family in Cuba and I’m just now finding a few minutes to get back here. I am incredibly glad to be back in the US. Maybe another day I’ll tell you why—it’s a long story filled with murdered pigs, pebble-filled pillows, ants, and flies.
My stress level is so high these days, I literally feel like I’m going to crack. I’m worrying more than ever before, and it’s no good. It is hard to shake it off and stay positive. I got on my mat today and worked some of it out…yoga is my saving grace and the only thing that stills my racing mind. I’ve been laying awake after nursing the baby during the night, using alternate nostril pranayama to calm down enough to sleep a bit more…last night it took an hour.
I love my horoscope today (this is for all the Libras):
For days, just about everyone you know and love has been telling you that things will get better if you just hang tough and keep your chin up. Just this once, they are actually right. You can stop worrying now, and forget about the thousand little things that have been keeping you from getting a good night’s sleep for far too long. Just relax and the stars will work it out!
Incredibly on target, both for me and my twin brother! My favorite mantra is ABUNDANCIA. That word spins and turns on my screen saver, it’s engraved on my iPod, and it’s on my vision board. The challenge is to maintain the mindset—to see the abundance I already have and FEEL grateful and full of hope. I know in my heart this is the way to live. Right now so many things in my life are in flux, and that makes me uncomfortable. I used to be more comfortable being uncomfortable, but now it feels heavier…now I’m responsible for two little people and I don’t want them to suffer.
I’m going through a phase of change, uprooting the known, the comfortable routine, and it’s hard. How do you handle change? Even if you knew you were following your passion, did you find yourself weighed down with huge doubt and worries? How do you stay positive?

For me, knowing the God is in control helps me to accept uncomfortable changes in my life. Remember that carnival ride where the you stand against a wall and the thing starts spinning and spinning and then the bottom drops but when it does your back is sucked into the wall? I KNOW that I am always supported even when the floor shifts and my feet are no longer on the ground. God’s got my back!
You are so right, and so wise! I do have faith that everything happens for a reason and that one door closes so that another may open. Thank you for your constant support and encouragement! I love you!
