New beginnings

Well then.  Here I am.  I am Sam.

Welcome.

Namaste.

So begins the second blog I have started in my lifetime.  Third. Third?  I feel like there was another one at some point.  If you read future posts, you’ll learn that my memory is worse than Dory with dementia.

I’ll get to my story eventually.  It’s dark and emotional and doesn’t paint me in the greatest light, but with the help of therapy, big pharma, and - you guessed it - yoga, I’m beginning to let go of, to exhale, if you will, my past in an attempt to live my best Present.

There will be the occasional musings of motherhood (11 and 10 years old. Tweens.  Need I say more?), homeschooling (say what?!), life in general,  but mostly I hope to focus on my yoga journey, how it has helped me through quite possibly the worst time of my life, and my time spent in yoga teacher training, which begins next month.

I hope you’ll stick around.  This could be boring, but I hope to make it humorous, inspiring, and real.

You can’t stop the waves, but you can learn to surf.
