Lately I have had a few serendipitous interactions that have made me realize how much I appreciate having a blog space where I am free to share my thoughts with you.

One conversation was with a long lost friend who shares my love of yoga and my love of writing (we've known each other since high school journalism), and the other was with a lady I just met through the blogosphere (she blogs about Bikram yoga, too).

Both of these women reminded me that the writing I do here matters. Their appreciation motivates me and humbles me at the same time, and I am so grateful to be reminded that there are real people out there, like you, who are inspired by this little blog.

It just goes to show: whenever I get to a point with my blogging that I feel unimaginative, or unsure of whether it's all worth it, I get a reminder from lovely people who have such wonderful things to say about Alive in the Fire!

I just wanted to take a moment to honor all of you readers out there. It's because of you that I do what I do, and share the little stories I share here on the blog. I am so grateful for your listening, for your feedback, and for sharing in the universal yoga journey with me.

THANK YOU for reading along.

And don't forget how much I love to hear from you! As always, feel free to drop me a line. XO
