I'm glowing reading this. 💖 I love being Princess Kat-Leia. It makes me giddy like a little girl getting her dream. 😊 Thank you for caring about each of us as individuals, for highlighting so many members in the Eyes On, Featured, and Rising Stars posts, and for creating the Alliance.
I'm grateful to be part of this family and to contribute to its evolution. You're all amazing and I'm glad to call you my friends!!!
May the Force be with us.

I've been called a mad scientist at times. You said something there that Wenzday up there noticed too.
More than you know. Not entirely sure what you believe aesthetically being a Yogi, but I believe in the law of equivalent exchange. I figure, if I continue to give enough of myself and show people the good feelings you get by practicing the same pay-it-forward attitude, what gets rewarded and returned will be that much sweeter.
YES! Actually, what comes to mind is Ayni, a Quechua word that means "reciprocity." In addition to yoga, I've studied many other traditions, including Peruvian Incan Shamanism, which is where this concept/word comes from. I like a lot of ideas from this shamanistic cosmology. Part of Ayni is feeding the earth, or giving back to that which sustains us. I feel like this is what you're doing, what each of us is doing in the Alliance and in other supportive ways on Steemit.
Yoga, of course, works with the concept of karma, which speaks to the consequences of our actions: positive and negative, short term and over lifetimes. But yoga also has the concept of lila, which is divine play. Serendipity. Which makes me think of the ways our paths snake through life to cross with specific people and bring us into specific events.
This comment is getting too deep. But that tends to happen with me, so there you go. lol! ;)
