Whirling in Depression
This morning I had a quick chat with a friend. When I said that I am feeling tired and pretty much just want to sleep most of the time lately, she asked if I am ok because it sounded like depression. When I thought about it, I realized she is probably right. I am likely…

Dark to Light
Getting myself out of the house and remembering where I live is my first step to getting myself away from the threat of the dark state that wants to settle back in to my psyche disturbing my way of life. Yesterday morning or maybe during the day I read this article on Facebook about the…

300 Hours Complete!
Just over a year of serious yoga study from practice to philosophy has come to an end. It is only the first chapter of my yoga story, but very significant. When I was feeling miserable doing my job and wondering at the future of my career in TESOL, I received an email about becoming a…

Value of Freedom
Day 8: What book are you most grateful for? Oh my what a very tough question for me…! There are so many wonderful books out there and reading is my absolute favorite form of escaping reality. I have been doing it for as long as I can remember – reading to enter another world. 😛…

A Wee Bit Depressed…
For the past couple of weeks I have been tired and unmotivated. At first, I thought it was due to Aunt Flo or stress. Then, I thought perhaps it was because I wasn’t eating enough during the day, which still may be the case. Then, I thought perhaps it was due to an increase in…
