Will the real Jenise please stand up...

Yes, I have met myself. Somewhere between the bending, sweating, stretching, brain implosions, tears and laughter......... I saw myself. Luckily I love most of what I see, some things of course need a bit of attention, but all in all, I feel loved by the most important person I know, me. Last week was such a soul cleansing experience, I cried so hard I thought my heart was going to jump out of my chest. It was real. It was powerful. It was beautiful. I wish everyone could get there and find themselves and to forget about all the issues we face everyday and just love themselves for who and what they are, what they have achieved, and to forget all those expectations society places on all of us.
So enough of that, I sound like I'm starting my own religion, yikes! We are finally slowing down on dialogue (thank goodness). My brain storage needed more space, was a bit worried I would leave here not having the postures all memorized! They really want us to just go teach a class as soon as we get back to real life.......... I don't know, might be the deer in the headlights moment!
Went to dinner with a bunch of people on Saturday night, we wanted a bit of a change so went to the hotel next door, not much different, but the company was fab! I met a girl from Bray, who now lives in San Francisco. How cool is that????
Our whole floor is occupied by yogis and its like a college dorm, people going to get ice in their pajamas, people going in/out of eachother's rooms. One night Barb and I heard loud bangs, like guns, and we ran out into our hallway with just our towels on asking everyone what the noise was, turned out to be fireworks for the arrival of the Mexican president, who I actually got to see on the way down to breakfast. He stopped and kissed a couple of blonde yogis while he was passing. I think he likes blondes, he didn't go near anyone else!
We decorated our room with Mexican style Halloween ornaments. It was so much fun getting all the stuff and hanging it up. We bought a couple witch's hats, Barb's has pink feathers around the brim and mine has purple, of course! We plan on wearing them to class on Halloween, I think most people will dress up for the holiday! I also bought myself a new dress, nothing like some retail therapy to cheer yourself up with. Such a girly thing!
Well better get back to studying dialogue. Can't wait to see what will change internally/externally this week. Its a trip, and I recommend it to anyone/everyone to give it a try. Of course not 2 times a day, but even once a day, your body just becomes such a machine, full of energy when you thought you had none. Too cool for words. Smiles and giggles to everyone!!! Have an awesome week!
