Well, the DVD is finished, the party is over and the memories will last a lifetime. The DVD Release Party was the biggest event I've ever organized. When I owned a Yoga studio in Uptown Dallas, I would often host events at my studio, such as Health and Wellness Fairs and concerts with local musicians. However, even though it was "my" Yoga studio, I was never the center of attention. So, I would also get to experience the event as an observer, as well, just like the participants who were attending them.

The DVD Release Party was a new experience for me on so many levels. Because of the size of the party, it was a financial investment greater than any I had ever made on an event before. This was an exhilerating and sometimes scary process putting it all together. It was such a gift to be able to handle an event like this, with a beautiful space soaring 21 floors above the Dallas skyline at the Mondrian Cityplace in a gorgeous penthouse, to an abundance of food, to a an awesome projector that played the DVD larger than life up on the wall. So many wonderful friends came to support me in this celebration and it was truly humbling to have both my family and friends in attendance, many of whom came from far North Dallas and beyond...

Today, I felt a bit exhausted when I first woke up. As I reflected back on the past month, I realized I had been quite busy. In just one month, I was a brides maid in my brother's wedding in Cancun, then I went to my 10 year reunion in Ohio over Memorial Day Weekend, and I hosted the True Yoga DVD Release Party this past weekend. It felt as though this past month was a whirlwind and often I was whirling right along with it. It was like I couldn't remember the last time I really felt my feet on the ground, free of thought, free of thinking about something I needed to do or plan for or organize.

As I returned to my regular routine today, all of my classes focused on being grounded in our foundation.

Sthira Sukham Asanam-The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali
"The connection to the earth should be steady and joyous."

I realized I had not been taking time to really ground down into the moment and, ultimately, to mySelf. I remembered that as wonderful as it is to BE busy and have so many wonderful opportunities given to us, the most important part is to appreciate the moment and the gift that it is. And, to take time each day to BE aware of it and grounded to it. It seems to me, being present is one of the ultimate stretches of the practice of Yoga.

It is my intention, as my life continues to open up, expand and prosper with the Grace of my Higher Power, that I can awaken fully to the moment I'm in, be fully present in that moment and appreciate each one for the awesomeness that it is.

I will begin posting more regularly now that some of the major events of the past month are complete. Also, I will let you know when I've got my appearance on Fox 4 Good Day up on the site, from when I was on their morning show last Thursday. It was so much fun!
