Stories of Kindness from Around the World

To My Mentors and Teachers
There are so many people who have touched my life in so many ways. Each one has taught me something. The lessons have not always been easy, but they were well worth learning. There were those who broke my heart, and my feelings were deeply hurt. There was always a lesson to be learned from the pain. There have been those who have gently guided me in the direction I needed to go, even when I did not realize it myself. They never told me what to do, they listened and gave me wise advice and then left it up to me to process and move forward at my own pace. Each of my mentors and teachers has influenced how I see the world and my role in it. The influence of their teachings is evident in my writing and how I teach my fitness and yoga classes. I do not always acknowledge by name, but I remember them when I hear myself repeating something that I have learned from one of them. I am deeply grateful that I have them in my life. I am humbled by their faith in me. I would like to say a heartfelt thank you to each one of them for the love, support, and friendship over the years. Picture take and written by TC
