I’ve been hiding behind my mini labradoodle Koda since she came into my/our life in December 2020. I’m not sure if it’s writers block or the fact she’s both frickin cute and inspirational at the same time.
By hiding I mean I basically stopped keeping up my blog in favor of insta pics and quips using the puppy as my muse. What’s the saying, a picture is worth a 1000 words? Ha sometimes I’m all done in 3.
If you know me, I’m not a huge fluff person so writing a blog about a puppy seems out of my genre. At the same time, I taught yoga for many years and have a daily practice for even longer. This makes me curious, reflective, and admittedly, always a fan of purpose and creativity.
How does all this come together? She teaches me something new every day. That inspires me and I’m going to share. It may be a bit light and differ from some of the professional stuff I write, but hey, it’s way cuter.
Lesson 1- I want to see what you see
Of all the places to be – and your crate is the one I’m thinking about- sure, come hop on the pillow next to my head. Face out to see what I’m seeing?
Even if not, makes me reflect on how seeing something from another person’s perspective is the basis of empathy, compassion, understanding and possibly, forgiveness.
I’m also thinking that I feel lucky.. Looking inward is less scary if you cultivate a peaceful center. I’m happy that living from the inside out today doesn’t throw me. You can probably tell as I have bed head and am a frizzy mess. Oh well, don’t judge, I’m hanging with the Dood.
