Still Anti-Vegan?
So, back in June, I wrote about how veganism is not for me. Remember then I said that I had issues about it as a diet? Well, recently a vegan friend of mine finally posted on FB how being vegan is not about the diet, but simply about protecting animals. Instead of preaching about health…

More Snapchat Fun
I have decided that I only like my voice for vlogging on Snapchat if there is a funny voiceover. Although the face isn’t great, I can live with it. 😛 M is probably right that I’m just a little bored playing with this, but it’s also a case of getting myself used to the…

Money Turns Green or Mean
Some topics are generally shied away from – politics, religion, sex, and money. Mostly I touch on these subjects freely, but lightly, even though I do not really know the breadth of my audience since this space is primarily for my own entertainment.

Just Call Me “Ms Bradshaw”

_The Power of Your Subconscious Mind_ by Joseph Murphy This summer really required some reading to get a handle on my mind and my reactions to situations that were beyond my control.

Simple Things in Life
As I walked each morning my route from the guesthouse to the yoga villa in Bali, I would pass the same people and greet them with a smile and “Good morning.” In a very short time it became a familiar routine that I greatly looked forward to. I would pass a small family temple and…

Bali Retreat
Ten months ago when I decided to embark on my yoga teacher training journey – on a day when I had taken a day off work because I needed a ‘mental health day’ to escape the dread of going to work each day – I had no idea how I was going to make a…

Security in Planning
If I have learned nothing else this summer, it is that I cannot really plan and most especially cannot control ANYthing. 😛 With that said, there are some things that I can plan and do. Tonight (early tomorrow), I leave for my Bali retreat as part of my yoga teacher training. I am being asked…
