Everyone who supports the mission of The Trevor Project is invited to attend these fundraising classes ✨

From The Trevor Project: "Every year, more than 1.8 million LGBTQ young people in the United States seriously consider su***de. Su***de is the second leading cause of death among young people, with le***an, gay, bisexual, and transgender youth more than four times more likely to attempt su***de than their peers. What’s more, as many as half of all transgender people have made a su***de attempt — many before the age of 25. In an increasingly connected and conflicted world, our culture propagates new mental health stressors every day for LGBTQ young people — a demographic that already faces disproportionate hardships.
BUT - there is hope. Having at least one accepting adult in an LGBTQ young person’s life can decrease their risk of attempting su***de by as much as 40%. The Trevor Project aims to provide that one accepting adult — whenever and wherever LGBTQ youth need them. Let’s work together to ensure every young person feels valued, loved, and respected for who they are."

Shortly after midnight yesterday, I convinced my husband to drive over to the studio with me.

I had stopped by earlier in the evening and these flowers were about 1/3rd of the way open. I knew they were going to be magnificent in the middle of the night. They likely peaked around 2-3am into huge, dinner plate sized flowers!

Our cactus' blossoms bloom for only one night. HUGE, beautiful flowers that no one really gets the chance to appreciate. I thought about just going to bed, but the thought of no one seeing their beauty was enough motivation to make the drive.

I'm so glad we did 🌸🌵

Please join me in welcoming back Michael from his one year deployment to Syria & thanking him for his service. It was a gift to have him join for his first class back yesterday.

He told me after class that New Dawn was on his mind a lot during his deployment. He explained it was a high stress environment and he used yoga to not only help himself through, but also other members in his unit. Yoga became apart of some of their twice a week routine.

He said at one point, he had 7 people in a little trailer allowing him to lead them through a gentle yoga & mindfulness session. He described how he would wake them up from savasana: "I'd say 'wiggle your fingers & your toes' and think of you everytime."

Y'all 🥹 I teared up on the way home. What an incredible gift that New Dawn was able to help Michael share with his unit members.

Michael & his friend Daisy were one of our Yogi Spotlights last spring - just before he was leaving for his deployment. This was one of his quotes from the interview:

"I'll be leaving at the end of May...I wanted to learn a little bit more about routines and coping mechanisms to better balance myself and manage stress. Yoga has helped me channel a lot of that in my own body - how I carry my stress and how to recenter myself. I really do appreciate this amazing time I've had with everyone in this studio. All the instructors are amazing and they make me feel very welcome."

Michael was able to utilize what he learned with such a servant's heart, bringing with him a little peace to share with his unit. We are so grateful to have you back safely, Michael. Thank you for your service. 🫶
