The End of Summer Brings an OMazing Beginning

My fourteen year old son confidently walked out of our house at 6:45am this morning to catch his school bus. He’d only been awake long enough to shower and eat a bowl of oatmeal. Typical teen, he didn’t say much, but I know he was ready for his first day of ninth grade.

His sister, on the other hand had a lot to say. Starting middle school has been on her mind for weeks and conversation has been non-stop. Before leaving for the 8:15am bus, she reviewed her schedule and locker combination, checked her school supplies in her new Jansport backpack, stuffed her lunch and swell water bottle in, and peeked in the mirror one last time. Her braids and outfit looked good. My daughter smiled, took a deep breath and said “Bye Mom. Bye Dad” . Her excited energy propelled her to the bus stop.

Going back to school is fresh. New teachers, classes, and maybe even some new friends . Each student walking through the door has a clean slate.

I share my kids excitement for new. One of the highlights of my summer was creating work space in my house. The OMazing Studio is open! I am so happy to a separate office to practice yoga, write and meet with clients. When my kids left for school this morning I walked upstairs to start my new chapter.

My desk and yoga space is separated by a sheer purple ombre curtain. I picked it out with my daughter. I laugh remembering her saying, ““You definitely need a curtain in case someone has a baby in the studio.” I looked at her sideways. “What?? They will need some privacy.”

She was dead serious.

I thought, we’d need a lot more than a curtain! In that moment, I knew that my daughter had neither an idea of how a baby was born nor how long it takes. To think my office studio would be filled with people and someone just might have a baby. Ten year old innocence is sweet.

I grateful to have a clean new space to call my own. I hope the soulful sculptures and green plants inspire me to accomplish greatness. I am excited to see how this OMazing journey plays out.

Thanks for following along!
