Back story-
Freshman year of College, I took a yoga class up at the University of Utah. What a great class. Mid semester I threw my back out and had a hard time walking. I contemplated going to school for weeks because of the pain (I had broken my lower back 2 years before, and was still struggling with getting my lower back pain free). Going to school that day was the last thing I wanted to do. I finally talked myself into going, and by some small miracle the teacher had decided spur of the moment to change our practice that day to a breathing, mind, body, soul kind of day (we usually were all sweating bullets by the end of class, but not this day).
I was so relieved. The Kundalini (excuse my spelling if it is wrong) exercise that day left me rejuvenated and I walked out of class pain free for the first time in months. You can imagine the feeling of having absolutely no pain after losing sleep for weeks over the discomfort in my lower back.
I met a beautiful lady in that class named Camille, I used to love talking to here after class, hearing all of her crazy party stories she was a real funny girl. I got her number, and have since lost touch with her. One of the benefits of living in this day and age is social media. She and I follow each other on Instagram and here is where the story comes full circle.

I was working on my car today fixing some things and after a few bumps in the road got it all sorted out a few hours off schedule. I treated myself to my favorite meal at a local Vietnamese spot. While waiting for my meal I hopped on Instagram, and saw a photo she had posted that said "Create the things you wish existed".
Not even kidding, right then and there I knew I would not be going to Puerto Rico in January. I had been putting things off by not fixing my car and the feeling of having it all run smooth again is something that I needed. It helped me realize how many small loose ends I have in my life here in Salt Lake. It is time to start stitching them all together to literally make my dreams a reality.
I am so lucky to be surrounded by so many great people, both family and friends.
I have two great jobs and am able to attend school full time in the meantime. Working at a paragliding outfitter and a ski resort is such an awesome gig. I don't think anything is really ever perfect but right now my life seems pretty damn close.
Social media is a wondrous thing it can pull our attention from where we currently are, but it can also help us hone in on what we want by showing us the success of others we care about.
It is time for me to start stringing together the loose ends in my life in order to make my dreams a reality
