I’ll admit. Day nine was not my strongest day in this challenge. I woke up this morning and finished my most recent blog post, and then I headed off to work. I got back home around 7:30 and very unwillingly headed to the gym. I did half hour on the bike and then decided toRead more

A short post today. It was a very long day; draining, but okay. After everything was all said and done, today ended up being about a 13-hour day with no down time. Such is life! The weather was perfect once the sun went down. We opened all the windows downstairs, and the cool breeze, softRead more

You guys! I did it! I’ve hit seven days. That’s one whole week. I looked on the calendar when the 30 days would be up and it’s the 4th of July! Amazing.

When I was walking back from the food court on my lunch break today, I saw a little boy around four or five, completely sandwiched in half in a perfect forward fold. He stood up and looked at his friend, a little girl the same age, and she shrugged and went for it. She raisedRead more

Secret in the way that little things kept building up and building up, but I wasn’t paying attention or letting it affect me until I was laying in savasana at the end of today’s yoga practice, suddenly crying to my own surprise. I had been up since five, spentRead more

Good morning! I didn’t have to work until 10 this morning, so I got up a bit early to get my yoga practice in before I headed out for the day. Last night was my weekly dance practice, which my body is not quite used to lately since I’ve had to take multiple weeks offRead more
