Crawling Out of the Pit…
Sometimes feeling as if you have hit rock bottom can feel optimistic as the only way to go is up. Although I can imagine life could have gotten worse and I do fully appreciate that many others are worse off than we have ever been over the past few weeks, I also know that I…

Lessons….
I have been unable to focus long enough to write or to gather my thoughts in a way that is comprehensible. I still cannot share the details publicly on what is going on, but what does not kill us…, right? My patience has been tested and is still in tact. Short meditation sessions are helping…

TWWs
Last Saturday I was not quite as warmed up as I should have been doing our practical yoga exam. We did things a bit quicker than normal to save on time. Unfortunately, I did not also apply this to pushing myself a bit less knowing that injury was possible…. So, we were nearly finished when…

It’s Purple!!!
Well, I have been talking about it for almost a year or more now. With the finishing of my 500hr yoga teacher training, I decided it was time. Plus, it coincides with my 41st birthday and time for me to start living up the midlife crisis period, right? There are not many hair stylists I…

Legal Again
Just wanted to update that my visa run yesterday went very smoothly. It definitely made a difference to meet at a later pick-up point as I was the second to last in the car. The border crossing was easy peasy and since I had not had as much time in the car I managed to…
