<p>A full two months has passed since my last blog post and I want to apologize for the hiatus.  A lot of wonderful opportunities have come into my life over the past two months, one of which brought me to travel unexpectedly and others of which have caused me to reprioritize. Each of these opportunities were eagerly welcomed though, since they were all invited into my life by me earlier this year in my goal and intention setting.</p>
<p>Speaking of which, I wanted to reinvigorate each of you to connect to your original goals and intentions set forth for 2010 and to evaluate any breakthroughs or obstacles you’ve already experienced. What better day to embark on this than March 4th. <em>Why March 4th you might ask?</em> Well, one of my favorite days happens to be March 4th because within its very title it has the essence of powerful, deliberate action…<em>get it?</em>…March Forth!</p>
<p>March Forth has been one of my favorite little celebrations for several years now. I don’t recall where I first put &#8220;two and two together&#8221; but for a while now I’ve been using it as a perfect time to reconnect with the goals I set for myself two months prior on New Year’s, to beckon the energy of Spring closer (now only about two weeks away) and to ramp up my motivation, ambition and initiative. I remember leading a yoga class a couple of years ago on March fourth in which I instructed powerful poses like Warrior II and III as ways to embody the March Forth energy.</p>
<p>Whether doing strengthening yoga poses, courageously confronting an issue, or expectantly visualizing the change you desire,  I encourage all of you to enjoy the energy of March 4th and to March Forth confidently in the direction of your dreams!</p>
<p>In Balance,<br />
Jenica</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Welcome to Lasting Balance and to my blog!</p>
<p>My intention for this blog is for it to be a source of information and inspiration, so check back often for a dose of good energy and food for thought.  We&#8217;ll cover topics including but not limited to yoga, meditation, flower essences, reiki, spirituality, seasonal cycles, holistic health for people and animals, supplements, healthy eating, recipes and cooking, nature, gardening, conservation and more. If you&#8217;d like to be reminded when I post a blog, just subscribe in the upper right hand corner.</p>
<p>I&#8217;d like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a Happy Summer Solstice.  The longest day of the year is an opportunity to give thanks to the Sun and all the warmth and sustenance it provides us with.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-61" title="solsticesun" src="http://www.lastingbalance.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/solstice71-300x284.jpg" alt="solsticesun" width="300" height="284" /></p>
<p>I also want to wish everyone a Happy Father’s Day and to thank fathers everywhere for the role they have in our lives.</p>
<p>Today is a fitting day for celebration in many ways.  As you enjoy family, friends, food, fun, music, nature, or any combination of these, think of the joy these simple pleasures give you.</p>
<p>The power of joy and gratitude is immense; powerful enough to move mountains (and create balance).  So enjoy your day to the fullest!</p>
