a fitness professional's attempt at living a yoga life….one breath at a time
Welcome to March! I've been sitting on this post for awhile now....unsure of what all to write and which day to post it under. I've got a lot to write about this week and so I thought I'd start here with some yoga. Last fall I started building up to performing 108 consecutive Sun Salutations. …

I searched my old posts for the word "DOWN" today and found a fair amount for the past few years. Why? Because (although not currently formally diagnosed) I suffer from depression from time to time. It's something I sought treatment for once in my life. Treatment that was offered didn't work for me. It was …
In her first book on happiness Gretchen Rubin writes about "Being Gretchen" as one of her personal commandments. It's something that I have always been driven to be....authentically me. Today authentically me feels like someone who yells a lot....both to be heard and out of frustration (and sometimes a combination of the both). In Better …
Yesterday was a little bit of a lead in to what I need to talk about today..... A phrase I need to stop using with myself or in description of others: "NOT BAD FOR...." Have you ever said this about yourself? As in, I don't look bad for 36. Or that run wasn't bad for …
Welcome to the fifth month of My Best Body Happiness Project! It's Thursday and I'm sharing my progress over on Running With Spoons weekly link-up. One element that I have slightly neglected in all of this body talk is my skin. I had a full skin check done back in February when I first visited …

Welcome to another rainy Monday at the beach. Do you know I haven't taken my kids to the beach at all this summer? How terrible is that?! Last summer our beach days were play dates and there were many of them, but this summer our beach buddy is also my running buddy and play dates …

It's Monday again and it's raining. Raining because it's spring and spring flowers need rain. Raining because it's April and April showers bring May flowers.

You all remember the Meatloaf jam from back in your middle school days.....I will do anything for love.....but I won't do that! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9X_ViIPA-Gc Well, welcome to another TOLT hosted by Amanda at Running With Spoons. Today I want to expand off of my post from Monday and continue with a series on my own Happiness …
I've been reading Gretchen Rubin's Happiness Project book this year. I haven't quite finished it yet and that's why you haven't been privileged to a Fave Reads Friday post on the book yet. But, I thought that it was time for me to define my own Happiness Project. The book has been very inspiring in …
