Endings turn into beginnings

I must write to say that sadly I had to cancel my yoga retreat to Lucca yesterday. Due to health issues, 2 of my guests dropped out which brought the headcount to only 4. The minimum number of clients required by the Retreat planning company is 12. Which means I am responsible to provide payment for 8 guests. With only 2 months left, that is a financial risk I am not willing to take.

Even though I am sad, there is a part of me that is deeply relieved. I have worked so hard to promote this on all Social platforms, among friends and clients old and new with all the creativity and gusto I could muster. I am a firm believer in FLOW. There was no flow to this planning process and I considered cancelling several times in the past. Now that the final decision has been made, a huge weight has been lifted. I definitely feel lighter and slept a solid 8+ hours last night with great scores according to my Oura ring!

Space has opened up for me energetically, physically, mentally, and emotionally. I have put several projects on the back burner because there was only X number of hours in a day to get it all done while continuing to build my yoga practice in a new community, deepen my relationship with my Husband, and stay healthy while doing so - all extremely important to me. I am out of crisis mode. I feel calm, centered, and creative. I am ready to begin again and I am happy.
