Podcast Fav 8: Someone Knows Something
From my obsessive binge listening to MFM’s podcast, I heard about Someone Knows Something. The title alone would have hooked me, but then I started to listen to it and became addicted to it. Season 1 looks at the case of a missing boy, Adrien McNaughton, who disappeared when his father and siblings went fishing…

AWN Updates
Back when I first started my life as a ‘lady of leisure’ I joined up with the American Women’s Network. Now, I was a bit hesitant then as I had had a less than ideal interaction with them when I first arrived in the UAE over 8 years ago. However, I really enjoyed the vibe…

Yoga @British Embassy
Happy International Women’s Day! Although I do not generally rally behind “international days” of anything (I am sure I wrote a post about this way back…), today allowed me to get onto the embassy grounds of my husband’s homeland. A few weeks ago I was contacted by someone in the embassy about doing some yoga…

Gearing Up to Gear Down
I was starting to feel a bit busy with two yoga sessions nearly every day plus at least one lesson a day. My days are starting to round out to a 2/2:30pm start with a finish between 6-8pm depending on the day. It’s a nice balance really, though takes a bit of getting used to. …

Bringing Peace and Calm
When I think back to the person I was fresh out of college or even during my MA days or at each major change in my life, I discover that I have had the fortunate ability to change mentally, emotionally and physically. I have always been fascinated by the brain and its capacity. My only…

Put Water In It!
I was listening to My Favorite Murder podcast this week and was entertained at their opening dialog about things they ‘hate’. One example was when someone leaves a bowl of cereal in the sink without rinsing or putting water into the bowl therefore cementing the bits of cereal onto the side of the bowl, which takes…

TWWs
This week was a lot better getting back into the exercise routine. I have noticed a bit more energy, perhaps from having started Juice Plus+ or perhaps from having rested the past two weeks. Also, I have come to accept that if I am going to be doing so much yoga these days, then I…

Stimulation
A recent topic of conversation lately has been on my need for a bit more intellectual stimulation in some form. While I am absolutely loving my yoga classes and clients, I am only getting physical stimulation from the exercise or trying to help people get their bodies a bit more supple. However, the intellectual challenge…

_The Plan_ by Lyn-Genet Recitas Intro
The other morning M stepped on the scale realizing that his weight has fluctuated towards the heavier side again. It is easy to do when we stop thinking about our food intake and he does not like to go to the gym…. Although we have gone through different phases of exercising together, I came to…

Simmering Down
I have noticed lately or acknowledged lately the truth – there is a lot of anger in the world…especially these days. However, I ask for what? Facebook is covered with loads of posts about being anti-current-US President, which is fair enough. I very much disagree with his decisions, tactics, words, and public persona. I do…
