flowers and butterflies

Last night I decided to give myself my promised post-show treat in advance - an hour in a private hot tub at Piedmont Springs Spa. It was such a good decision; it melted all the muscle aches and tension knots, and I slept deeply and well for almost 9 hours. My average sleep has been 4 -5 hours a night this week, so those 9 are going to get me through this 18-hour day.

I've had butterflies since I got up - pre-show adrenalin, but it's never kicked in quite this early. Pranayama and asanas coming up, and LOTS of breathing exercises today :-)

I just called my mother in Nairobi. She said "Did you get the flowers?"

"What flowers, Mum?" I was baffled, thinking, how could they have sent me flowers from Nairobi?

"Oh, I spoiled the surprise. Well, I might as well tell you now. Sneha sent you flowers from all of us. You should get them this morning."

I wanted to cry. There are going to be lots of those moments today. I feel so utterly blessed, by all the privilege and resources and gifts that have brought Migritude to fruition. All the support and generosity that's bathing it - and me - today.
