Amelia Earhart

On August 24th 1932 Amelia Earhart became the first woman to fly across the US non stop. Her trip was from LA to Newark. It took 19 hours.

She was not charged for her additional baggage. Whether you are on your mat or drinking your morning cup o' joe whilst blog surfing, let's make the collective intention today to be open to all possibilities. Setting goals and having intentions are important, otherwise, there is nothing fueling your passion and drive. If you are working in rejection, defeat or 'shoulds', 'coulds' or past experiences, you will probably stay stuck where you are. In yoga, especially hot yoga where mirrors are present, it's easy to keep your eyes on a still point of focus - you. You are your goal and if you fall or fail, guess who will be there to pick yourself up? You, the most important person in the room. So, nourish that person, that goal and that intention.

Anything and everything is possible if you are open to it. And nowadays, it doesn't take 19 hours to get across the country. Back then, it did.

It's all possible. Enjoy.
