In preparation - or was it the opposite? - for this Summer I said sayonara to my week-daily sunrise yoga, I eschewed all camps for the kiddos, we bought only one-way airplane tickets, and I haven’t sought out a single sitter. Naturally, I am becoming petrified and beginning to panic as school winds its way down (4 kids - 10 year spread - 75 straight days!), but this weekend is going so well I think it’s going to be the best Summer yet!!! 💙🤍❤️ ✌️🤞😎😎😎😎😎🤞✌️❤️🤍💙

We have closed ‘Birthday Season’ (until next October) in the Kirschenbaum home. A huge EXHALE for a mother who decorates and celebrates (6 human stars and a sparkle pup) in fantastical excess. 💐

| Camatkarasana - Wild Thing Pose ‘Astonished’, ‘Miracle’ |
Vacation vibes: Lots of family trips lately, lots of lovely bonding, but it is time to park the traveling circus and put a romantic getaway on deck. We have it all, just not all at once by reflecting on each excursion’s aims, expectations and emphasis ahead of time as not to miss the holiday’s inherent distinctive opportunity.

| Vasisthasana Padmasana - Side Plank Bound Half Lotus |
Evaluating friendships as of late and finding it is essential to follow the chemistry and foolish to ignore the kismet. 🌟
If three tenets of our happiness are faith, family/friendship and meaningful work then we must hunker down and stop seeking.
Sacrificing for your dream. Some days I look around (at my little life) and I feel overtaken with awe and immensely ‘blessed’. So much so, that the beauty of it can feel precarious (“too good to be true, so much to lose!”). But, as my husband elucidates, this life did not appear out of nowhere - myriads of sacrifices (countless other possibilities passed up) befalls when we make each choice. We are choosing one of infinite. So when the bliss is so joyous we panic, remember we had our hand in this; these are the steady and continuous - unprecarious - fruits of our labor. 🍇
OH the sheer agony of caring for the family and tending to the home while feeling unwell. We know it from periods, pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum, traumatic or sad events, the common cold, chronic illness, heartache, heartbreak and beyond. There is no relief to be found. My personal solution? Complain (and blame) loudly and incessantly until someone (my husband) tells me they feel sorry for me and then all is a little bit more right in my world - merci beaucoup, dankeschön.
Give us your deepest, strongest versions of your poses. No excuses. If not NOW, at Summer’s end, then when?
When we lessen our own material requirements, (persistently removing those pesky impulses and cravings one-at-a-time,) the incessant worldly demands of our children (and other household members) no longer vex us, as the mirror aspect is removed. 🪞
