This is my daughters favorite book to date....she cried through the last hundred pages. It's a beautiful book. We both recommend this to booklovers everywhere.

Light








Stayed home from work with a stomachflue today. Felt a little better in the afternoon so I played around with the camera in my kitchen for a little while. I also find time to order some books online. I will share with you all later if they are any good. Hope you are healthy and well wherever you are:-)

Don't you just love these photographs my husband took while away in Slovakia a couple of weeks ago?

to be inspired

…to live differently, to love differently, to think differently, or to try to. Is the danger of beauty so great that it is better to live without it (the standard model)? Or to fall into her arms fire to fire? There is no discovery without risk and what you risk reveals what you value. Inside the horror of Nagasaki and Hiroshima lies the beauty of Einstein's E=MC squared

This is how I feel today

I don't wont to go to work today. I want to stay home, drink coffee, blog, read my book, nap and listen to Claire. My house is so pretty now. I've taken good care of my garden. Flowers everywhere. Lovely. I'll pull out my camera again this afternoon. It's been tucked away during all the craziness.

today






It’s truly been a journey to remember going through this teachers training. All the hard work is done and everyday life is back. My body is sore and I feel emotionally vulnerable. My hamstring is not well. I’m going to my acupuncture man, that makes magic with his needles Wednesday. And I need him. I pushed too much in my practice in the last couple of weeks. But now it doesn’t matter anymore. I’m ready to slow down my practice for the summer. I’m getting ready to finally tune into my breath and listen to my body. Ashtanga yoga, and some teachers are really into pushing it (and my ego goes along with that really easily). But I don’t believe that’s what’s yoga should be about. Are you a better yogi for doing this or that asana? I do not believe so. For me yoga is the journey to awaken your inner voice and spirituality. It’s a journey to opening your mind to other people around you and to see them with compassion and love.
I’m setting aside time to read and write these days. I’m spending time watching my beautiful daughter growing up playing in the sun. Summer is a wonderful time of year. I hope you’re all enjoying wherever you are.
