Today, I am just thankful. I am thankful to have a little bit of hope. I feel like something good is heading my way, but I’m not ready to say exactly what that is. Just keep your fingers and toes crossed. My mantra for meditation today was “I am thankful for this day, this moment
Some times we come across the most unexpected things on our daily walks. Yesterday, this mantis was the surprise. I haven’t seen one this big in years, probably not since I was little. I like the way she kind of blends in to her surroundings. I know there’s a lot to be said about standing
I really need this list. Yesterday was not a good day and it’s really stressful working in such a toxic environment. But I’m working on it.

I did not forget. I’m getting to the list slowly today. I suddenly got very busy. In fact, I’m eating my spaghetti lunch while typing this. Imagine the mess. Yoga students who missed me while I was away Having a fairly easy and straight forward work week. Zooming as fast as I can on the
I don’t even have pictures for you today. It’s just too hot. Too hot for anything but laying around with cool delicious beverages and tall straws so that you only have to turn your head to take a sip. I have things growing in the garden. Growing out of control is probably a better way
