Hi yogi and yogini friends! This weekend I was reminded that life is, indeed, delicious!

You see, my mommy was hosting a special guest instructor, David Romanelli, at the studio, and the theme of his workshops was Yoga + Wine and Yoga + Chocolate. Of course, I'm not allowed to partake of either wine or chocolate, but I did get a couple extra treats, and I think the lessons Dave taught the human students regarding their chocolate apply to me and my treats, as well!

Turns out, most of us rush through our lives, scurrying around and checking chores off to-do lists, without taking the time to enjoy each moment. Before we know it, weeks or even months have gone by, leaving us saying, "where does the time go?" We tend to postpone our happiness until we've achieved this, that, or the other thing, rather than enjoying our lives right now.

I know I've been guilty of this myself; sometimes I'm so intent on enticing you to give me treats that I forget to enjoy my time running happy laps and dancing to get the treats. Watching y'all take the time to see, smell, taste, and really savor the delicious chocolate and wine inspired me to do the same with my treats. And you know what? I've never enjoyed them so much in my entire doggie life! There was no thought of hurrying through this treat to get to the next, or comparing how good this treat was to some treat I might get in the future; there was just pure appreciation and enjoyment of the moment! And with this appreciation came a peace from knowing that I was right where I needed to be.

So this week, I encourage you to take the time to enjoy the moment; not because it's a launching pad to get to you to a place you think will make you happier, but because your life is happening right now, in this moment, and you are exactly where you need to be. Allow yourself to feel the peace that comes from appreciating exactly where you are. Enjoy your treats this week because life is delicious!

Namaste,
Tiki
