Hello Friends,
Summer officially starts in a matter of days. Where did the Spring go?!
My baby graduated high school. Where did 18 years go?
In the blink of an eye, life passes us by! For you too?
Please join us to share stories, celebrate the evolution of life and the arrival of summer. Come to our Summer Kickoff & Jonah’s Graduation Party on Friday June 19th in the garage & backyard.
I birthed Jonah in 2008. Just a few years after the birth of Sol Yoga. And he was welcomed by this community with 40 days of meals so I could sequester with him while he got the golden milk. A firstborn to me and two sets of grandparents. A blessed arrival indeed.
Jonah has grown me up. I was 30, now I’m 48. He held me up actually. He may have thought I was carrying him, but his steadfast presence and authenticity showed me what true love is. Until he was nine or ten he shared every thought in his head and barred no access to his full self. He let me see a real, unguarded soul. Something I had never seen until he came along.
A relationship with an unguarded person, even a small one, is something special indeed. Jonah inspired me to become more real. I’ve worn many masks in my life to fit in. I think we all do. And each next child has peeled me back more and more. As has life. Yoga has helped quite a bit too - peeling back the layers to the authentic self in community is a radical journey.
Time marches on I guess - and there are these markers along the way. Momentous moments where we pause and reflect to honor the distance from back then to now - sometimes blessings, sometimes losses.
Graduating from high school is one of those things. Turning 18 is one of those things. I get to enjoy this moment that Jonah is living through and I’d love to share it with you - the community that has always walked with us.
It happens to be beautifully timed with the turn to summer. The longest day of the year -the summer solstice. A time of adventure, light and a carefree undertone for those of us that were so liberated by the end of formal ‘school.´
So lets celebrate! Come to our Summer Kickoff & Jonah’s Graduation Party on Friday June 19th in the garage & backyard. Families welcome.
