Footnotes from Cathy... "In the beginning you have to make room for yoga in your daily life... but after some time yoga itself will pull you up by the hair and make you do it."              Vanda Scaravelli A Treat for you!                                            June 2010 Have I got a treat for you: one of my revered teachers,Yoga Therapist Joseph Le Page, is offering his daily spiritual journaling on Facebook.  Intrigued?   Sign in for Daily Yoga Scripture Study HERE  And here is a link explaining how Joseph found himself in the world of Facebook, as he says with his subtle humor, "...not realizing the full implications."  I hope you enjoy Joseph's journaling as much as I have--it's like an expanded, daily Yoga Bytes!   "Smile before you read this...."               January 2010 This great advice came from one of my dear sisters-in-law, and I've taken it to heart. A couple of years ago, after a flurry of email communiqués between several members of my family, there was a miscommunication.  It happens.  A joking remark was taken seriously, and feelings were hurt. Apologies were sent right away, confusion clarified, and now all is well. But the shining result from the experience is a suggestion at the top of the next email from this sister-of-my-heart: Smile before you read this.  She's right!  This is truly the best way to approach everything that comes our way: emails; phone conversations; business meetings; and especially interactions with beloved family and friends. Smile before you open the email… expect the best… assume that what is said is coming from a position of care, concern and love. It's OK to smile at the end of the email too.  :-)    Namaste'. . . the goodness in me honors the goodness in you Cathy                                                          To read past musings: Footnotes Archive
