JUST A NUMBER

I turn 40 in a couple of weeks & to celebrate am traveling to Spain at the end of June. I’m not one of those people who dislikes getting older. I found sobriety at 31 & ever since then, my life gets better & better. I was a pretty unhappy lady in my 20’s (whichContinue reading “JUST A NUMBER”

I AM ENOUGH, I HAVE ENOUGH

I had forgotten last post to write about how I have been randomly (and not so randomly) gifted three pairs of yoga pants! One kind of ‘silly’ thing I let go of in 2015 was an old black pair that fit me just right until they didn’t any more. I had been sewing all theContinue reading “I AM ENOUGH, I HAVE ENOUGH”

THE RAW TRUTH & A JOB

I’ve chaired two meetings in the last week.

I am now the proud facilitator of three Instagram accounts, two Pinterests, one Twitter, and four Facebook accounts. These include work accounts that I regularly (except TwitterContinue reading “SOCIAL MEDIA & ME”

It was hard to meditate (we start out our weekend mornings meditating for 30 minutes) both days. On Saturday I was teaching my co-students for 15 minutes. On Sunday, most of usContinue reading “AN END TO A BEGINNING”

UPSIDE DOWN

I have been obsessed with inversions and arm balancing poses for the last two weeks thanks to these two. They are a gravity defying yogi-couple and you can’t help but be inspired by them. I’ve been hopping into hand stand, forearm standing and hand standing against the wall, and rocking forward to balance on myContinue reading “UPSIDE DOWN”
