Daily Little Gifts 

What a wonderful day to be a teacher. What a wonderful way to get to know the Earth better - through the eyes of a child. What a gift to have a boyfriend who is a wonderful father to wonderful kids - to have a glimpse of life in this role. 

How easy it is to get caught up in the stress of managing it all and doing it all “right” - Life that is. 

What gifts you receive when you step out of your mind and your expectations and you experience the joy of what’s happening right before you. 

Some days it’s easier and more natural than others. 

Some days I feel like I can’t remember a single thing I learned in all my years of yoga and meditation. Oh well. Being human is real. 

Spring was on point today. So was the dancing, the dirty hands, the bus ride smiles and the sweetest hugs.

Jaime's first-person bio:

I teach and I write and I create things and I see if I can be a better listener more consistently every day. I enjoy using food, nature and yoga as tools for experiencing a deeper sense of joy, connection and freedom (within myself and with other beings). I began regularly referring to myself as a Returned Peace Corps Volunteer in 2012, after serving more than 2 years in El Salvador, and I aways refer to that because that experience is an inflection point for when I began more intentionally living. I actually sometimes say that Peace Corps "saved my life" and I kinda sorta mean that. My biggest joy in my work is when a child's face lights up.
