Hello Truth,

   I spoke with Coach Alex about my thoughts hanging out at the Homeless Shelter , Food and Shelter Inc., where we have been building a community Share center. The Share Center is a community grocery store for those in need of assistance. I have been dealing with all kinds of mindsets to build this project from those in favor of the project to those mad we are contributing to the homeless problem by feeding them.  Alex said you have been there for months you need to do something that is more outside of your  comfort zone like Yoga. I said,”yoga?” I knew Amy already was planning to attend a yoga class so I called her with a thousand questions. She started laughing and said I guess Alex found something that is outside of your comfort zone.
  We arrived at the yoga class to what I had been told was easy going free spirited people that are very collaborative and nice. The first thing they made us do was sign a waiver which felt very blue . They told us we could wait on the bench outside the doors and someone would come out and get us. It was several minutes past class time when the lady at the reception desk said they must not have came out of the class this evening and just rolled into the next one. They said people come in late all the time which is no big deal. My training as a police officer we accounted for every minute and being late was a fireable offense so this just seemed so rude and inappropriate . So she was being very green then as we started into the class she became very powerful and traditional because I was about to wear my shoes into the class! We were shown cubbies and told to leave everything there. Amy leaves her purse, phone, keys ,credit cards in a cubbie in a hallway we can’t see. I didn’t leave my stuff only my shoes and socks , I wasn’t in a mindset to trust our new group of friends. We made it into the class everyone was in a pose mediating . The instructor was real nice and came over to get us set up. During the next hour I started to realize I have spent my whole life working my plan with somewhere to be and something to do. The instructor wanted us to be free our mind.
    The process was very relaxing and I can see why they enjoy it so much. I think it would be good for we to free my mind more often . The things I noticed is they are a mixture of all the mindsets too . They just happen to have a larger green mindset then me but they also showed me some of the other mindsets they might not even realize they have. I also think everyone is more similar than different. This exercise has stimulated my mind too much it is now time for me to free my mind…….

Thanks,
