    Hi there, I’m not sure if this is more of a rant or a cry for success stories and encouragement.

    You know how, whether its religion, or yoga, or finding your path, you only see and hear happy successful stories from single people, or at most, ‘in a relationship’? You never hear about the family person who was able to be totally fulfilled spiritually. Its always either, single and satisfied on your wandering yoga path, or mother who has no identity aside from her kids and spouse.

    I need, need, need to hear from another mom that it’s possible! I discovered yoga when I was pregnant with my twins and its changed my life in some ways, but not as much as I wish it could. Now my twins are 6, I have a 3rd baby that’s a year old and never sleeps. Its hard, reading about all the yogis who say they wake up refreshed after 6 or 7 hours straight sleep and can go do their yoga and meditation before the day begins. What about the rest of us who’s day never really ends?

    I need to hear from another 30 year old mom wanna be yogi who found a way to make it work! How do we find fulfillment in life when we have a family to raise? Or is that something that we give up? Help!

    Dear granula-saurus:

    I hope  another 30 year old  mom will answer you, but until one does, a mother who  is close enough to 30, would  you like to communicate with me? I am not a mother but I do know how a day that “never  really ends” feels like, as well as lacking sleep.

    Granola-saurus,

    When you speak of finding success in your practice, what do you imagine success to look like? What are the tell-tell signs that you’ve reached the end of the road… that you now have achieved the goal of your practice? We can look at someone and by our measure they are successful but perhaps in their mind they are still traveling the path and have not yet reached success. You see, the solution here is to alter what you view as being successful and to embrace what you can achieve now – appreciate that and nurture it when you can.
