Stretching is a dual experience in the body.  It often hurts and feels good at the same time.  It is like relief and struggle all happening at once.  Maybe it is what being a grown-up is all about.  Grown-up as in a willingness to grow and change.  If I am fighting the stretch then it is more painful but if I breathe into it, it goes more smoothly and I am able to go past what I think I can.  As I look at my life, it is the times when I resisted the growth and the change that I suffered the most.  But when I surrendered and breathed into what was happening I found experiences I would not have had and saw growth in myself.  Stretching provides us with an opportunity to be amazed by who we truly are. I think it enables us to see God in a different way–that is the courage we call upon when we take that breath.  My prayer for you today is that you be open to breathing into the stretch of your life.  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
