My beautiful, amazing, fabulous best friend and soul sister, Lindsay, sent this to me and I can't stop reading it over and over with a huge smile in my heart and on my face. I think it is a beautiful reminder of the important things in life. I'm posting it up in my cube, on the fridge and probably will tattoo it to the inside of my hand for a daily reminder (i kid...) I hope you enjoy this as much as I did/do/will. Happy Tuesday! Namaste
So, I'm taking a moment of reflection. I often find myself thinking of the next "thing" to do in life...place to live, race to try, apartment to live in, having a family, etc. When I do this, I force myself back to the present and remind myself of how blessed I am at this very moment. Instead of aspiring to "do" the next thing in life, lets all think about just "being" where we are and know it is perfect. Afterall, we are "human beings" not "human doings" Take a deep breath and just BE where you are in life. Goodnight lovelies! photo credit: beliefnet
Good Morning friends! Do you ever have those days or in my case weeks where you have to peel yourself out of bed and go through your day giving yourself a constant pep-talk just to stay positive? This week at work is proving to be overwhelming with no end in sight. I really just wish my job was cuddling with my honey. I'm really good at that! But, I digress. I'm keeping my chin up and reminding myself of these wise words from Eleanor Roosevelt. What is the saying, mantra, quote that keeps you positive in times of stress?
Lately I've been like Haley's Comet in my blogging. But I'm BACK! I've been so inspired by the many blogs that I follow such as A Cup of Jo and Naturally Nina that I've decided to jump back on the blogger wagon. It's been a while so I'll try and catch you up quick. My honey and I made the move to NYC in December and are SO enjoying exploring the little shops and street fairs. My absolute favorite of all are these yummy cupcakes and this iced coffee. Yummo! What are your favorite treats or hidden gems?
Sadly, I've traded the sweet sound of crickets at night in CT for sirens and trash cans. Which leads me to the next phase in my quest to find inner peace and quiet. Yoga Teacher Training School in January here. September start date would have been ideal but I've decided to wait until everyone goes into hibernation for the winter and I'm longing for a daily practice of Surya Namaskar A & B to heat up my inner body.
I'm so excited about the upcoming journey to deepen my practice, meet new yoga friends and share my passion for health and balanced living with others. Have you ever taken the plunge into a new passion? How did you feel (nervous, anxious, excited?) I want to hear from you.
Thank you for joining me on my adventure.
