“I only have two minutes I say hastily as I pick up the
phone.”
I know it’s Jade from the caller ID. She’s part of my posse. I can rush her off the phone without feeling
bad or without her taking it personally.
I’m running, this time, to preschool drop off and then onto
work. The pre-game was dog pee on the
carpet and two girls in simultaneous meltdowns over what to wear to school,
leaving me with 20 minutes to shower, pack lunches, and get into my big girl
shoes.
“This won’t take long,”
replies Jade on the other end of the line.
“It looks like it was root chakra week on your blog.”
Jade went through yoga teacher training with me, so she’s no
stranger to the root chakra.
(Not to mention we had our root chakras reamed out quite a
number of times by the teacher training director, but that’s a story for a
different day.)
“So, here’s my question, “ Jade continued. “If your issues are all about your root
chakra, instead of writing your Sharpie tattoos on your stomach, shouldn’t you
be writing them on your butt?”
To which I can’t help but smile.
“That’s too funny.”
“You need to put those messages in the anatomically
appropriate place if you want to see results.”
“Jade!”
“I thought you could use a laugh.”
Despite some of the challenges that I face right now, Jade’s
phone call was a great reminder that we don’t have to take things quite so
seriously, or ourselves that seriously, for that matter.
It was also a reminder that having a friend who calls just
to give you a laugh is priceless.
And as far as any butt tattoos go, I’ll never tell.
Namaste, Divas!
So amazing to have friends like that in our lives – who know just exactly when and where to give you that laugh. xoxo
I think I already told you I almost tramp-stamped myself an ohm about 7-8 years ago, right? ALMOST.
Hee! Love it!
And yes to the friends, and amen to the laughter!
xo
Deb, that is hysterical! Om Shanti, sister.
Still laughing (with you, never at you 😉
I guess you can go all creative on your ass. But please don’t.
But, I think my plea is probably too late.
Too funny!
AHahaahaaa!!! I definitely want the story of having your root chakra reamed out!!
Love it! Whatever it takes! Thank God for good friends and the reminder to take myself a little less seriously today. xoxo
Please tell me you sharpied your root chakra?
Haha, love it! We have to do we have to do!
That’s awesome!
