As summer moves toward its close, a common theme has begun to surface in my life, the lives of those around me and in the experiences of many of my clients. The ‘winds of change’ are brewing. Change is always in the air, but never so much as when we enter the transitional season of autumn.
From The New York Times:
A Yoga Manifesto
Some new studios are dispensing with the “rock star” instructors.

This is a very important question to go into because, as you grow older, you will find that your desires are never really fulfilled. In fulfillment there is always the shadow of frustration, and in your heart there is not a song but a cry. The desire to become -to become a great man, a great saint, a great this or that- has no end and therefore no fulfilment; its demand is ever for the “more”, and such desire always breeds agony, misery, wars. But when one is free of all desire to become, there is a state of being whose action is totally different. It is. That which is has no time. It does not think in terms of fulfilment. Its very being is its fulfilment.
Happy Summer!

How about
NO RESOLUTIONS THIS YEAR?

My goals were specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and timely.
Or so I thought.
A week later, my life showed me that it had a different [...]
