Updates At Last

Words have escaped me for most of the last four months, but I am slowly finding my way back to the keyboard.

I don't have much to say besides the fact that I am so glad the last few months are over.  It has been a bit of a nightmare getting through this Fall, but I am praying that the Winter brings new fresh starts.  Sometimes we wander unfamiliar and scary roads.  I have definitely seen the edges of myself and my mind and while what was waiting was not always pretty, it's still an important part of me.

Self-acceptance, total self-acceptance, seems nearly impossible.  Will there always be parts of ourselves that we are uncomfortable with?  I don't know.

Here's what I do know for sure:
- Music, dancing, friends and good food make for an excellent night
- Having guests over is a blessing
- Exercise is important
- Forgivness is divine
- Everyone messes up sometimes
- School is not the most important thing
- We all need someone who will listen
- The Canadian mental health system needs some serious reform
- Teaching yoga is such a blessing
- Good friends and family see you at your worst and still love you

Wishing you a wonderful 2013!!!

All my love,
Emmy
