I am deeply rested. And I confused it with being unmotivated, blue, unsure how to move forward. Being unmotivated doesn't even sound or feel like me. But it has been a very challenging 4+ months - personally and professionally. And I realized that the deep rest was so incredibly unfamiliar, that I mistook it for all things 'wrong' instead of 'peace at last.'

I have never pushed a client so far as to sustain an injury and I have never dropped an F bomb in their presence. [...]

I tend to move along at a rigorous pace, my sneakers smacking the pavement, body slightly angled forward (my Alexander teacher would have a fit!), breath moving in and out. And then [...]
With the change of the season comes a change of activities. Now is the time to get outdoors as much as possible before the dreaded Northeast summer heat and humidity.
