Celebrations in New York
I’m in New York, and I’ve decided to stay a bit longer than planned, as I will be leading a Nia White Belt Training in New Jersey with Caroline Kohles later this week.
In the mean time, I’ve been celebrating life with my husband Jeff, his daughter and his daughter’s boyfriend who recently experienced a heart attack (and he’s a med student)! That’ll stress you out. Thank god he knew the signs and was able to get the hospital to listen to him. Wow!
Part of the celebration and reason for the flowers is that it was my 13th anniversary being with Jeff–-our 13th anniversary. In many ways, it really feels that way. All that we’ve been through as people, parents, lovers, business partners, and just human beings on the road of life has been amazing. It’s been good, bad, pleasurable and excruciating, such is marriage and life when you’re committed to being in it. And I am. We are.
One day I counted up the number of complaints, the stuff we as a couple deal with on a daily basis, that affect us. We counted more than 60. I closed the computer and said, “We have to shift something.” Don’t get me wrong, I know it’s our job as leaders and owners of Nia to listen and hold space, but sometimes it’s too much. I’ve decided to take a time out on our anniversary and for Jeff’s upcoming birthday. So I’m going to ask for positive, loving emails. You missed our anniversary, but I’d love some love on Jeff’s special day (April 25th). Love is the only answer!
