Why Leap with Passion?
by Rhonda Musak
A few years ago, in the middle of a sweltering July day, my sister turned to me and said, "My New Year's resolution is going really well." Caught completely off guard, I searched way back through the annals of my mind for a moment of time that was not a humid 97 degrees. I finally recalled that yes, at the beginning of that year, I too had New Year's resolutions! And that's where our similarities ended: I had zero recollection of my "life-changing" resolutions that were designed as the New Year arrived with its fresh hope.
Cut to yoga class a few months later at the end of a particularly long and exhausting week. I arrived to class early and was able to relax on my mat with the pleasure of not needing to be or do anything. My mind emptied as I gazed at the trees out the window while listening to calming music and the sound of my own breath. It was a complete revelation. I realized that even if yoga was not to follow, just having a concrete time and space in order to unplug from daily life and to tap into a deeper inner place was already of infinite value.
And thus, "Leap with Passion" was born: An end-of-the-year workshop allowing both time and space in order to be intentional about the year just lived and the new year about to begin.
I began designing the Leap with Passion workshop...

Greetings!
I find it quite appropriate to kick off the holiday season with the two Julia Child quotes I share at the bottom of this newsletter. We all delight in her epic masterpiece of a cookbook; however, none of us were there over the course of the 10 years (YOW!) she spent writing it!
Most of my students (and myself also!) know a little something about being "in the middle place." During this busy holiday season, I invite you to take some time out and celebrate the amazing masterpiece of your life right where it is in this very moment.
My 4th annual end-of-the-year workshop, Leap with Passion into 2012!!!, offers an unparalleled opportunity to see and appreciate all that you are...all that you have accomplished in 2011. This powerful perspective shift becomes a springboard for implementing 3 life-changing focuses that you design yourself to make 2012 absolutely luminous. It's wonderful to finish the masterpiece and then celebrate...but it's even better to celebrate along the way!
Wishing you & yours an outrageously fantastic holiday season!
