I have officially completed my first week of teaching yoga and instructed two salsa routines for our Independence Day celebration next Saturday. It has been such a powerful experience in the fact that most of my students don't speak English but the unspoken understanding of movement is amazing and the interaction between everyone is humbling- we are all just humans wanting to connect despite a communication barrier. There have been challenges as far as knowing what things are and aren't acceptable in the Indonesian culture etc. but I think I am doing ok. It's also really cool that I have students from all over the world.
Things have really picked up since school started- we all needed and are enjoying the structure and busyness of it all. We have a formal ball next Friday (super excited for that), the celebration next Saturday and the kids start after school programs next week- drama, outdoor games and story time. We are managing to survive here :)
So while all is well here, life at home continues to go on and my adjusting to it, I fear, will never be successful. Tomorrow my sweet, darling cousin gets married. She has been my little buddy since she was born. We were inseparable most times. I am so very proud of who she has become and the thought of missing such a big day in her life breaks my heart! So in spirit I will be there!
Onward with life and as always, to be continued...
