A Message From Jenny


Meaghan Smith, Juno award winner

A few days ago Blair and our new puppy Sita were exploring the woods near our home. Since moving here, we’ve often gazed out our front window to see the neighboring community off in the distance. It always seemed so far away. After many months of adventuring in the woods, Blair decided on this day to head in the direction of this community to see how far he would get. Ten minutes later, he and Sita came upon an opening and there it was; our neighboring community which appeared so far away until this moment of truth.

Fellow yogi Meaghan Smith (Ms. May in the Breathing Space calendar), recent Juno Award Winner for new artist, stayed the course, remaining true to her genre of music despite inevitable uncertainty and doubt. It was her dedication to her authentic voice and her dream of making music her life that brought her to the red carpet last week. If you don’t have a copy, her album The Cricket’s Orchestra is a true delight.

Sometimes in life, we perceive our dreams of vibrant health, inner stillness, or the ideal relationship to be so far away when they are really just arms length away. As the saying goes, most people quit when they are one step away from success.

This month, I invite you to drop your perceptions of time along with your expectations and simply hold your dreams in clear vision. You may just be closer than you think.

Breathing Space has exciting new developments so please read the content below. My dream is to see you at Nischala’s workshop at the end of the month!

Blessings to you,

Jenny
