Sunday evening Moon Circle -
Once upon a time . . .
I bought my Moon Deck in Austin at one of my favorite yoga studios.

Mondays are blog days and Tuesdays are YouTube days and Wednesdays are newsletter days and that was yesterday. Today is Thursday and that’s a retreat day. And historically, during retreat weeks Thursday is the morning meditation walk on the beach. But this year will be different.
Once upon a time . . .
Everyone always asks, do you like it here or where are you from but some folks think I’m from here or even travel down from the states to teach on the beach. But I live here. Costa Rica. Where do you live? And why?
I feel grateful to live in a beautiful country that is so close to the Pacific Ocean. And I feel like I was brought here and I won’t complain. But now everything is different and I get to stay.
I saw Diplo for $37 cash. Randomly. And that two hour chunk of time is very important in my personal development story because I was there alone. But I was married and I asked my husband if he wanted to go with me so don’t tell me to “get over it” faster than I need to. Because I still listen to Diplo and I still have to talk to him. Not get to talk to him. Have to talk to him. He was there for the birth of the children. Makes sense. But what if I told you, I asked my husband to prom and he called me dumb. Doesn’t matter if you believe me - because maybe I’m messing up the details of the past. A real one. The one my own precious body lived in the entire time with him. 16 years. That’s a chunk of time.
And in those two hours, I stood, nose to nose with Diplo. Looking into his eyes. And I had a lot of serotonin in my brain. It’s one of the four important love chemicals. It is created naturally in the body too. Depending on what you are feeling. Mind you. But after the show, I walked past my home, alone, and went to a friends condo and sat and listened to more music. And when I eventually got home, he was unhappy. And I was unsurprised.
“Time: God created it. Man measures it.””
