Our teachers

My favorite teachers, most of whom were my coaches, and my main teacher who was my mom, gave selflessly and often. Their lessons transcended the moment and I still feel their effects. They were a catalyst for so many life altering decisions. They remain deeply rooted in how I live my life today. It takes our daily practice of descrimination to use the tools that were passed on to us wisely. The flip side of good is bad. A lesson learned in one context does not necessarily relate in another. Ice cream today might be just what the doctor ordered, but tomorrow and the next day and the next day and the next, might be more than destructive. Take what we are given. Be thankful. Use wisely. Let go of lessons learned that no longer serve. We are evolving. We are practicing. Let go of that which was great in the past, but might not be now. Be patient. --Charry

SO true on the message of evolving. I read this quote today and thought it was applicable --
“Some things just weren't meant to be and it is OK... Treasure the happy things, Forgive the bad things, and Move on to the bigger and better things.” ~ Karen Kostyla
