Namaste

Wow! What a weekend! My legs are like jelly and my arms are like noodles. I've just spent the past 3 days twisting and contorting my body in the most intense yoga workshop I've ever experienced. I think I've had my booty in the air this weekend for more hours than I'd like to admit. Kind of like this guy...



...although I usually wear a touch more clothing and, contrary to popular belief, not all yoga instructors refuse a razor. I quite like prickle-less legs, thank you very much!

During these 3 days we were able to do a lot of meditation. It was so rejuvenating to be able to clear my mind, without any distractions, and reflect on all aspects of my life. Physically, emotionally, and spiritually. It was an opportunity for me to be completely open and honest with myself about my weaknesses, and even more difficult, my strengths. I have definitely been suffering from FMS (frumpy mom syndrome) lately. I've just been exhausted trying to keep up with my kids busy schedules while still attempting to accomplish all the other things I'm needing to do in a day. Who has time to shower let alone waste time with a flat iron? Are you with me ladies? All the mothers out there are nodding enthusiastically, I'm sure.
Well folks, I'm ready to retire the sweats! I'm going to start by simplifying my life, allowing myself to make mistakes, and living life one day at a time.

Hallelujah!! I'll drink to that! Root beer, of course. Glad that you had such a nice weekend and one of these years you'll have to teach me everything that you know in yoga.
