Diana's Message

I cannot cause light, the most I can do is put myself in the path of its beam.

~ Annie Dillard

I saw the moon set over the ocean and cast a glow across the water like the sun setting.  I felt myself in the path of its beam.  I soaked in the glow of the beam and felt the beauty and magic the moon was sharing with me.  Then the ocean swallowed the moon and I was left with a feeling of having witnessed something miraculous.

This year has cast its beam on my life.  I have felt the blessings of another year of practicing and teaching yoga at Pacific Ashtanga.  I am grateful for the new students that have found the practice and for the dedicated students who have returned for another year.

The greatest blessing this year was having my mom and dad move from Indiana to Southern California.  It has been a dream of mine for a long time to have them near me and be part of the Shala.  One of the things making the Shala special is that it is a family business.  The Shala has always felt like a family, and now the family is complete.

May we all continue to put ourselves in the path of the Beam and welcome another year of magic and blessings.  Thank you for sharing your practice with me.

Love –Diana

Trust yourself,

Doubt nothing that comes from inspiration,

Deny nothing that comes from imagination,

Dismiss nothing that comes from intuition.

LIFE IS A CANVAS
