Returning Home

Friends,

I returned home from my vacation on July 4th.

Flying and driving took up much of the day, so there were no celebrations that we were scheduled to attend.

Just as well. I wasn’t in the spirit of wishing anyone, let alone this country, a Happy Independence Day, when it seems like recently, we are losing our independence, our rights and freedoms more and more each day.

Driving home from the airport, my daughter’s phone pinged with the breaking news of yet, another, mass shooting, this time at a 4th of July parade in Highland Park, Illinois.

I lived in Highland Park in 1999-2000. It’s a great community and I loved my year there.

I am heartbroken and numb all at once.

And so, I am telling myself, and all of you, that I am grateful for my family, my health, my Love, all my animals that I missed so much.
Grateful for the gifts and tools of yoga that help me daily to keep on keeping on.

So without further adieu, this week’s schedule and upcoming events….

Sending love from under the covers,
Kari
