It's hot where I'm headed. Daily temperatures in the mid 90's with the nights only cooling to the upper 70's. Humidity is high.
Jakarta, Indonesia is a city of 9.5 million people. 9.5 million. !!
This small town girl who has never been outside of the U.S is in for some culture shock.
I'm leaving behind my sleepy island in the upper left corner of America and flying across the ocean to Indonesia. I'm taking my camera and a million pairs of yoga pants. This will be my life while I'm there. Yoga and photography.
The purpose of the trip is to mentor in yoga teacher training. The same training that I went through over a period of 10 weeks last fall will be taught in 3 weeks. Long days. Long weeks. Lots of yoga. I look forward to what I will learn being exposed to the training for a second time but also sharing it and assisting others in their learning.
How will I grow and change as I am immersed in a new culture? I lived for 39 years with a very small view of the world. In my 40th year I was opened and expanded, growth beyond measure as I discovered a life of freedom. And now, entering my 41st year I get to experience something I would have thought was out of reach as I spend a month in Indonesia.
Yoga and photography. This was my dream. And in just 23 days I'll be on a plane across the ocean to my biggest adventure yet.
Stay tuned!
