Sometimes I don't like the word "spirituality." It conjures images of traditional religious ceremonies which I want no part of. Yesterday, however, I heard a beautiful definition.
A gentleman from Heifer International told me, "Spirituality is the relationship we have with all things created: the forest, the animals, other people and yourself."
I like this definition very much. Thank you.

A Sense of Community
Today in yoga, the teacher said, "You come here as individuals but then you take the hand of the person next to you." She did not mean this literally but metaphorically. Her thinking was that you leave as a member of a community of people who practice yoga.
I particularly like this metaphor. I spend much of my day alone. I am either at yoga or in the PositiviTee studio working: alone. Through designing and selling PositiviTees, I feel I am creating another community: a community of women who are global sisters. This community extends across the United States. In fact, a woman in the United Arab Emirates sent me a holiday present last year; surely we are sisters.
Welcome to the PositiviTee community. May you find calmness and kindness in your heart.
