It’s difficult to imagine leaving my beautiful space in Kayenta and yet the time has come to do just that.
In all honesty, there are many factors contributing to this decision. It can’t go without saying Covid was hard, on everyone, but for small businesses it was especially difficult and it was for my business as well. That being said, it is only a small part of why it is now time to say good bye to my Kayenta space. To be clear, Sacred Space will continue in whatever form I continue my business it is my life’s work and it goes with me where ever I may land. So though I am leaving my space, Sacred Space will never be gone. It resides within us all. It’s the place we occupy when we access true healing and presence and gratitude. It continues. But the doors of Sacred Space in Kayenta will close August 16th, 2021.
Three big life changes will coincide in August for me. One, closing my beloved space on August 16th. Two, taking my oldest child, my daughter, to NYC to begin college in Manhattan on August 20th. Three, coming home and having major abdominal surgery to remove my uterus, August 30th, the day my daughter begins her fall semester! All of these events are incredibly emotional and mark the end of an era for me in profound ways. So I’ll use this space (this blog) to process, to vent, to provide updates (to my 3 readers ;)
As I write, even now, tears come. I’ve been doing a lot of work to process all of the emotion around this and I’m clearly far from done. I may never be done. But I know for me, part of my process is writing. So that’s what I’ll do.
I have to say I am so overwhelmingly grateful for the community Sacred Space has built. It is no less than miraculous the gifts it has brought into my life. All of my Find Your Joy yoga group and my massage clients, we are a community, a kind of family, and it blows me away that I have been so lucky to have lived this dream for 9 and half years, so I must extend a huge hearted thank you to my community. We are so blessed.
So it’s time and I am ready-mostly. Change is inevitable and necessary. So we may as well embrace it as best we can.
There is always something magical waiting on the other side.
