Our first head stand

Yay, Vivian and I did our very first headstand yesterday together. We are so happy and are filled with joy.

Got to go now. Chat later!

Now here is later. I meant to write yesterday but yesterday was full of excitements and I was busy savoring the moments and literally no time to sit down and write. Of course, there are many things on my plate as well, but I managed to get what has to be done done and leave the rest of time enjoying the time.

Vivian and I went to Shelly's class together yesterday. Shelly often surprises me with her teaching. I don't usually have any expectation going in but come out with some surprise. Biggest surprise was our headstands. When we are called to try our headstands, I was not expected me to be able to do it at all and was only hoping that it might bring me closer. Vivian was right beside me trying. I heard that she whispered "mom I am up" and I peaked over and saw her straight up on her head and I was instantly encouraged and I kicked and I was up there. Quite amazing feeling. We both were very happy there upside down and feeling comfortable.

Shelly was talking about "going against grain" at the beginning of the class. I thought about it after the lessons. Yes, it is one of our biggest lessons in life, when things are not going our way, it is the best opportunity for us to grow and get beyond our old selves. I don't really like on warrior post, holding my head down and with my arm stretching under my leg and linked with my other arm stretching. I don't like it when I am facing adversary either. Something I have to learn. I will learn to like the things I don't like.
