Miles away from HK and babe, did I reunite with parts of my heart I left in San Francisco years ago in celebration of my bday amongst good friends at a West Coast yoga & music festival. If only you could plug into my brain and DL sights and sounds of this experience, would you know why I'm smiling this sweet.
Seeing so many creative families with children defined LIB's heartspace.

A hidden speak easy if you knew how to open up the bookcase. Remind me to tell you the story in full. Not sure if you would believe me still.

Sweltering 100 degree heat didn't slow the flow to Marques Wyatt's yogi beats.

Watch this short on LIB. Many an old friend DOing mind blowing inspiring things. Reuniting with these wild cats stokes a fire within. It's powerful to breathe into the remembrance of what makes us sparkle. I "grew into" my skin with these wonderfully remarkable loving beings.
Which brings me to my next subject. Yoga P O P!
Last SUNday was particularly special due in part to the lovely ladies that have now shown up for the 4th Sunday in a row. To witness the satisfaction in some as they were proud to have acquired their own yoga mat. I suppose your mat is sort of like prime real estate, for it is within this rectangle of a shape that we are responsible for filling it with mindful actions...for ridding it of all our toxicities. Our mat is our humble nest we perch, wherein we are safe for silence. But doing it together raises the potency of magic that can happen.
Thanks to Dr Bryan Lau for telling me to keep doing what I'm doing. He empathized with the effort it takes to facilitate a donation based public class. You just never know who is actually going to show up. But the ones that do are the ones who want and need it the most.
Hope to see you all Sunday.
"I only feel beautiful on SUNdays", she said. Bless. Touch sky. Let's make it everyday.
I'll leave you with the song I have been playing on repeat. In doing so, my perceptions have been caramelized to a sappy mess. Kudos to my bro DJ Jason Nogoy, for inspiring me to use this as a final resting song as he so did during his Mayya Movement yoga set.
In Love,
May
