As I mentioned in a previous post, I will be moving into my first home I've ever owned. I never really thought I would "settle down" in Dallas and was reluctant, for a long time, to the idea of owning property here. Although, I realize more and more that...

And, through growing into this awareness, I'm now thrilled to be owning my first home here. That being said, we were "supposed to" close on the condo yesterday. It turns out, we're still not exactly sure when we will be moving, but hoping it will be sometime within the next week. This transition in my life has been none other than emotional and intensely introspective. Lately, it's felt as though the whole process has come to a stand still, so I can really tune in and feel everything that's going on inside of me. Those of you from Dallas know the weather here for the past two weeks has felt stagnant. The air has felt thick as though nothing is really moving in the atmosphere. Many days, the clouds have hung heavy and the humidity has been high. The meteorologists were predicting rain and thunderstorms for two weeks, and finally, over the past two days the rain fell and brought a thorough cleansing to the city. We woke up this morning to a crystal clear blue, sunny sky and a cool, refreshing temperature in the 60s. What a relief. It feels so good outside...

The effect the weather has had on me and I'm pretty sure all of us "Dallasites" over the past couple of weeks reminds me of an interview I listened to with Beryl Bender Birch on Yogamates. In the interview she says that Yoga is the practice of finding the equipoise in each moment. You can listen to it here.
