Tuesday Truth: Growing Up

So true, isn't it? 

This passage is a perfect one for me this week, as I'm spending a bunch of time leading our Level 1 Teacher Training at Tranquil Space. Not only does this remind me of how much courage it takes to start teaching yoga--or to take the first step in that direction--but it also reminds me that we never stop growing in life, and that often, it can take a long journey in order to get in touch with our true selves.

I know that I'm still growing up and becoming who I really am, and when I really think about it, I hope that I never stop growing up, as I think that learning, changing, and exploring is one of the most amazing gifts in life. 

But that doesn't mean that it isn't hard sometimes, does it? And it definitely takes some *serious* courage to connect with and then work to become your true self. 

Thank you to the fabulous e.e. cummings (one of my favorite poets) for this quote and for many more amazing thoughts, insights, and inspirations...

Wishing you have a courageous day!

Namaste,
Mary Catherine
