Yes it’s December alright. You know this because your to do list just got longer in all the craziness and extra obligation that is this time of year, (*truth*—however much you love holiday season). You feel it in the tightness across your shoulders and you make room for it, with less sleep every night.

Imagine then, how I was stopped in my tracks, before a single vinyasa, outside my new yoga class this week by a sign that read;

I create my calm

Now I’m a girl who is used to creating opportunity from nothing, somehow though, the thought of having the power to create my own calm, in that moment, hit me like a crosswind and I’ve been thinking about it ever since. Here’s the thing, you actually have the keys to your entire kingdom, not just one room in the castle. You are directing your life, one tiny frame followed by another.

We are all living parallel stories,
but we each get to script our own ending

You are free in each moment to be aware, to process, to decide and to take action on every single thing that happens today. You don’t simply create intentions and results. You really and truly are the director and heroine of your own story.
