#ALLLIVESmatter
So, I am not at all political. I do not read the news except for an occasional moment when I think I should be more aware. I joke (truthfully) that all I need to know about the world is on Facebook – or my husband tells me. 😛 As I do my best to ignore…

Diminishing Elite?
Yesterday I wrote on the idea of saturation within yoga. After I wrote, I began to consider this more and recalled how I have often felt annoyed towards those who simply went for a two-month TEFL certification to be ‘qualified’ to teach English as a foreign language – something that I spent two years studying…

Yoga = Union
Why I have not written about such a big part of my life sooner, I am not sure; but it is appropriate for me to now write a bit about yoga. Yoga has become massively popular recently and is growing in its trend around the world. While I sense that it may become saturated like…

_Portal of the Wind_ by Shizuko Natsuki
_Portal of the Wind_ by Shizuko Natsuki Last March when I was in Lake Havasu City visiting my parents, my dad and I took a trip to the public library. It is something that my dad likes to do with me and they are a dying institution in most cities. The library itself was fairly…

Excuses…?
Day 3: What color are you grateful for? Well, the obvious answer should be purple as this is my favorite color. However, my first response to this was actually red. Now, in a way this makes sense. Without red, there is no purple. Red symbolizes blood, fire, passion and to me vibrancy. So, I suppose…

40 Years!!!
[shashin type=”photo” id=”10713″ size=”small” columns=”max” order=”user” position=”center”] Wow, I have reached a milestone in life – the 40th birthday. In Korea, I guess I’m really 41, but let’s not go there…. 😛 I have always said that I will remain 28 forever as I remember that as the best year of my life so far.…

30-day Gratitude Challenge
Remember how I said I wanted to revisit gratitude in my life to let go of focusing on stress? Well, this pin popped up on my Pinterest feed the other day as a bit of a sign to really take that on. So, today will be Day #1 of the challenge. I will put in…
