That clearly wasn't the right place. <br /><br />Hope this closed door opens up new opportunities for you.Dave - Atlanta Trailshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13870521955679174148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4515482770055477277.post-54492974986215218752009-08-02T06:58:27.518-07:002009-08-02T06:58:27.518-07:00Caitlin I am glad you let some tears go as there i...Caitlin I am glad you let some tears go as there is a lot to grieve fom hurtful words and severed bonds. Additionally there is much to celebrate: you are claiming yourself and your path which is hard to do in our culture. You are recognizing how your own strength and beauty are fed. A tough bump but you seem to be handling it with grace. Looking forward to seeing you!

Quite non-yogic. I don't agree with the "many things are best" idea, nor disagree; what's best is to be in touch with your unique authentic self, and then manifest it, whatever it may be.<br /><br />I also suspect her sense of self was threatened by yours.<br /><br />Squaw should be good! Uphill races are by far the easiest on your body (counter-intuitive but true). Just gotta breathe a lot.

I hope you find a place that will appreciate you for what you are about. <br /><br />I hope you are doing well and coping.. Hell, don't look back, don't be angry or take it personally. Life is short, no need to spend your time dealing with places like these. <br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />LuisLuis Velasquezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12551703905884725719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4515482770055477277.post-12955069570931358232009-07-31T09:39:42.392-07:002009-07-31T09:39:42.392-07:00Hi Caitlin,

I'm sorry to hear about your boss passing judgement on you when she seems to know very little about you. I agree with you completely that it is un-healthy to have one focus in life. Even most doctors, who devote thier lives to their field have some other focus as an outlet. Whether it be running or building model ships inside glass bottles, its important to keep our minds busy with a variety of stimuli. Good luck to you. I'm sure your extra 5 hours/ week will be occupied with more of your current hobbies, or you'll find another interest to fill the time with.Charliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17869464951629779765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4515482770055477277.post-34205848466527189662009-07-31T08:32:31.342-07:002009-07-31T08:32:31.342-07:00Change is good.

The acute phase always seems to resolve in a few weeks with some maintenance work required thereafter (stretching and strengthening to keep things in balance). It's always something though...<br /><br />As for teaching yoga, maybe you could go out on your own- teach your own way, make your own path. As a young woman, your former boss may have wanted to lord over you and put you down. I suspect you threatened her in some ways. I never liked have a boss anyway, so I have enjoyed having my own practice. Maybe you would too. At least you have that option. <br /><br />Good luck wtih your race! And I love your photos.<br /><br />CynthiaDrs.
