A little thought from Carrie Smaczny

Monday, February 2nd, 2009

I find myself very fortunate to have the kind of job that allows me to be creative.  Teaching dance, pilates, and yoga as well as practicing those disciplines really fulfill my heart.  I have passion about what I am doing and I can get a bit overly excited to some, but I am EXCITED by life.  Especially today right now in 2009.

I know things are going to go up from here.  I believe we are destined for great things and each of us has to work towards our capacity to be great every single day.  Being the best person I can be for that day makes me feel open and allows me to experience things, question ideas, and give praise for being on this earth doing what I am doing.

Every evening and every morning, I count my blessing.

Have a great week!
