Gathering Glimmers

Hello dear friends!

We seem to be in a tough news cycle again. Lots of election reporting that will continue until November and beyond. If the national news isn’t enough, there’s plenty of world news that can bring me down as well.

But then I thought of glimmers. As you may recall, a glimmer is a cue, either external or internal, that brings one back to a sense of joy or safety.

I was reminded of glimmers as I was teaching last week. Mid-way through each class, I’d pause for a moment and take a look in the room (or on the screen) and I was just overwhelmed by the knowledge that we were all practicing yoga together. Week after week we keep coming back to our mats and we keep sharing this experience of yoga.

And there was the glimmer.

Our small community of yoga practitioners is mighty. We have been exploring our practice together for several years now and our understanding of yoga keeps growing. We welcome new members into our community and they add to the love.

I love watching all of this happen. I love being a part of it.

There’s a lot in the news to bring us down. All of that negativity can be overwhelming. We need to keep our eyes open and look for the positive. Let’s gather our glimmers and acknowledge their power. Each little glimmer can add up, creating a beacon of light in a world that can be very dark.

Thank you for being one of my glimmers. Whether you are a regular in a Zoom class or at one of my live locations, thank you for joining me. And if you read my newsletter or watch my YouTube videos, thank you, too, for joining me.

All of you are glimmers in my life. Let's continue to shine brightly for everyone.

Love & light,

Nina G
