I needed this. I am working so hard on letting go of some grudges, resentment, etc because I know those emotions are taking up space where love, joy, etc could be. I haven't practiced yoga (yet), but I'm a marathon runner and you have motivated me not only to let go of some things from the past, but run another mile when I think I just can't.

Bridge makes me feel so powerful, one of my favorites. I love the way you articulate this, Doniree. To me living with an open heart is welcoming new paths as each one reveals itself and being willing to explore its possibilities. I always say that my life moves forward one stepping stone at a time. If I don't take that step, follow where my heart guides me, how will I ever know where it leads? Being open brings growth, learning, and peace. All of which I strive to fill my life with.

I have a dad who gives his all to his students and to the world, but had a really hard time bringing that home until recently. My mother's father abandoned her and her four siblings when she was young, so she never learned to give anything emotionally. So, now that I'm older and I have a larger perspective than I did as a kid, I've committed myself to giving as much of myself as I can. I've found that this giving doesn't empty my core at all. Rather, it just makes more room and time for me to receive love right back. .-= Her´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.hernewdeal.com/2010/04/ted-kennedy-and-healing-from-miscarriage/" rel="nofollow">My miscarriage and Ted Kennedy</a> =-.

For me, living with an open heart means not to judge others. It sounds so simple, yet it can be so hard especially up close. It's definitely the constant thing I try to keep aware of in life. Good work with bridge. That's one of my favorites. It does feel so freeing, doesn't it? .-= molly´s last blog ..<a href="http://dillydallylollygagger.blogspot.com/2010/04/im-alive.html" rel="nofollow">i'm alive.</a> =-. So true, so true, so true.
