a fitness professional's attempt at living a yoga life….one breath at a time
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. Raining because it was very dry and my rain barrels were empty. Raining and spring bring about changes and I have a lot of them to write about.....but I'm saving …

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 …

At the bottom I have some thoughts related to the article and the upcoming holiday season and specifically eating during the holiday season. This article is super applicable if you have children, work with children, interact regularly with children, or know …
The publication of this post was delayed due to my poor scheduling habits and stomach flu suffered by my children. I'm behind again, but I'm taking a different stab at it this time around....I'm not stressing and I'm moving through my list as it was written instead of jumping around and falling further behind. Without …

Happy Thursday Everyone! I'm a little late to the TOLT round up today due to the massive amount of things I'm trying to accomplish before the end of this month so that I can start with a new clean-ish schedule for November. My mornings are trying to get started earlier and activity is getting squeezed …
I am still finding time to meet the demands of my self-imposed 30 Days of Yoga challenge, but finding it harder to make the time to write about it. Some of that is because it's a personal practice and sometimes I just want to do it and not mention that I did it. Other times …
