2013 has been a wild ride.

I've seen my share of ups and downs. So much has changed.

Lately I am reminded over and over again that I am exactly where I am supposed to be. The universe has provided me with so much love and light, so much abundance. When I receive confirmation that I am walking my path, fulfilling my dharma, I sometimes become overwhelmed by gratitude.

Today as I reflect back on this year, I am amazed… humbled… surprised by my own strength… appreciative of my friends and family… excited for what is to come… and yet fully satisfied in this present moment, this now.

This month, Alive in the Fire broke a new record for pageviews. My sponsored yogis are getting excited to share their stories. I’m connecting with other writers and yogis and companies who are passionate about helping people live in good health and to raise the collective consciousness. This blog community is ever-growing, ever-evolving.

I am about to celebrate my 5-year anniversary practicing yoga. I’m experiencing life as a yoga teacher. I have settled into my home in California.

I am so grateful.

Here’s wishing you a beautiful end to 2013 and a grounded, centered, exhilarating start to the new year. I love you guys!
