Beauty in the Storm

Joanne sent this to me this morning. A view from her window as she was snow-bound and couldn't make it to class this morning. Perfectly fitting since we talked about contentment (santosha) and a practice that can help to recognize contentment: waking up in the morning, say to yourself "I am grateful for the unknown blessings already on their way."

Heart, chest, shoulder releasing this morning in our practice. 

Some observations regarding the cleanse:
"I was aware when I was full and didn't need to go for seconds as I normally would."
"I noticed the tendency to use food for comfort when I am emotional."
"My belly feels lighter."
