Trust The Detour

"Life is constantly rerouting us to be on our best paths." - Catherine Cassidy

I often think back about the detours, reroutes, and unexpected paths life has taken me on. More often than not. I am struck with gratitude in the unfolding.

It would certainly be a strange world if everything always went exactly as we planned! There would be no zest. no sparkle, no surprise ... no laughter spontaneously bubbling up from an unexpected delight. If all had gone according to the plan I had laid out early in my life. I would never have found yoga.

It is with unending thanks that I reflect that if not for the roadblock that forced a diversion from the path I thought I wanted, I would never have met many of my closest friends, been a part of a community that I cherish, or found the courage to use my voice and discover my self-worth.

So I'm reminding myself today to trust that when the sands shift underfoot that it is simply life guiding me onto a better path. When you feel unsteady or rerouted I hope this helps you too.
