“In the infinity of life where I am, all is perfect, whole and complete, and yet life is ever changing. There is no beginning and no end, only a constant cycling and recycling of substance and experiences. Life is never stuck or static or stale, for each moment is ever new and fresh. I am one with the very power that created me, and this power has given me the power to create my own circumstances. I rejoice in the knowledge that I have the power of my own mind to use in any way I choose. Every moment of life is a new beginning point as we move from the old. This moment is a new point of beginning for me right here and right now… All is well in my world.”
-Louise Hay
Each moment is a unique moment as each breath is a unique breath. Sometimes it may be challenging to live in the present moment as our minds are consumed with memories of the past and worry about the future. The breath helps to anchor us to this moment, the here and now.
Fall is an amazing time of transformation and such a great display of how life is ever changing. The beautiful colored leaves dress up the trees. And then they fall only to arrive back in the springtime in a different form. And this happens year after year after year. It is magical.
It has not been so easy for me to live in the present moment lately. I am due to give birth to my first child any day, at any moment! Actually yesterday was my “due date”. It has been quite consuming all the thoughts about when, where, how..All the fears and excitement. It has been a great learning experience for me to try to be in the moment as best as I can. To just be and rest and listen to my body. To trust in the process of life and nature. To be assured that as we let go of the old, we make room for the new. And to remember that even though all the changes and transformations, we have access to the gift of the present moment.

Best Wishes Tara with the arrival of your new child. Sorry I have been in class the past few months-I look forward to when you come back so I can start up again!
PS-Will you be teaching Hot Yoga anywhere new since Nyack closed? thanks!
Tara
Yes, waiting for a birth is certainly “practice” big time of living in the present moment-and to enjoy it fully –allowing thoughts and wishes and expectations to be noticed yet not obscuring totally the present days.
Thanks for writing/sharing this new entry–it is a helpful reminder for me when I get “waiting” for something, and the present seems almost an anxious annoyance of waiting. There are blessing to be embraced in each moment
hiya! did you have the baby?? i am sure that you did by now….im dying to know,,boy or girl?? well, im thinking about you and hope to hear sooN!
Tara,
Sometimes the past can pop back and say hello…. Your blog is wonderful and in fact just what I needed to hear in this moment in my life. I’m thrilled that you are well and that you are expecting your first child. The love that you will experience is like none other.
Feel free to drop me a line and let me know more about your life

Was thinking of you recently and looked you up. I do hope you are doing great and wish you the most love and luck with the new addition to your life. May he/she learn top be a truly wonderful person as you are. With your guidance, that should come naturally. Life is a constant struggle to stay in the now and cherish every moment and learning to let go of the past and future are things that can be done, but it aint easy.With the birth of a new child, you will have sooooo many opportunities to enjoy every moment as many will advise you to do. It goes faster than they say and staying in the now in those infinite moments will allow you to look back with pure joy at each little step. They are so precious, as i sit and watch my 6 year old princess dance wii to Michael Jackson, I realize how lucky I am, yet wish I would have been a now person as to not have missed so many of the moments. You are ahead of the game girl, dont lose that. You always were something special and people are richer for knowing you. Be well, praying you have a happy, healthy and wonderful experience with the birth of your baby. Enjoy the moments. Much love and peace to you and your family.
