_Vayu’s Gate_ by Orit Sen-Gupta
_Vayu’s Gate_ by Orit Sen-Gupta One of my yoga teacher training required books. I read it on my Kindle app which might have taken away a bit from fully enjoying what this book had to offer. Sen-Gupta walks the reader through the vayus, pranayama and how they work together within various poses. It was actually…

Housewife Networking Part 3
Phew, it is the end of the week at last and what a busy week it has been! I have become quite the social butterfly. Who knew I had it in me? However, I must say that I feel extremely drained energetically and am on the verge of delirium as I am also not sleeping…

Sugar Detox Fail
Yep, that’s right. I barely made it a week of my attempt at the 21-day sugar detox. 🙁 It was not due to cravings or massive desire for sugar, but rather a busy schedule that resulted in eating out more and not having time to shop for food that would distract me from sugary items. …

My History is Worse Than Yours….
Interestingly, I wrote the title of this post last week after a conversation with my friend that I mentioned in my post about perspectives being relative. Yesterday, I went to a book club (yep! and more on that later), where we were discussing the atrocities experienced by the tribes of Congo by the Europeans –…

Meditating
After a barely successful attempt at staying sane last week, I decided that I needed to refocus on ensuring that I get myself sitting each day to meditate. The truth is that I have been out of practice and a little bit lax on the meditating scene lately. While I do try to keep my…

Weekend in Dubai
I was away from my computer and Abu Dhabi this weekend, so I could not really post. It was a nice 24-hr break away from the crazy realities of life these days. When we were in Bali everyone was keen to organize a monthly get-together when we were all back in the UAE to keep…

Housewife Networking Part 2
Not too long ago I wrote about my initial networking activities of late. This morning I went to the American Women’s Network (AWN) coffee morning for the first time. Now when I first arrived I attended an AWN meeting, which was very different as it was in someone’s home with just a few people. After that…

It’s All Relative
At the end of last week as I was visiting with a friend I could feel the skin around my mouth itching and a familiar tingle on the edge of my lip. Hoping that it was not what I thought it was, I tried to ignore it. Despite my attempts, the tingling got worse and…

Random Thoughts
Cannot quite decide on what topic to write about today, so will go with some jumbles. First, as promised, here is my dinner from Day 1 of the 21-day Sugar Detox. It ended up being quite tasty though it could have used a bit more flavoring. Still, not a bad recipe for Spinach-Cilantro Meatballs. I…

A New 21-Days Starting Today
Day 1: Just a couple of months ago I finally wrote up about _The 21-day Sugar Detox…_ book that I read. Just about a year ago, I also did a light version of the detox with a friend, though we both had cheat days for alcohol since our husbands are British and well, the Brits…
