Rumi.

Burdens are the foundations of ease and bitter things the forerunners of pleasure~Rumi

One of the truest quotes I know. In my life anyways. Burdens really are the foreunners of pleasure, for without the burdens, the pleasures of life wouldn't be nearly so sweet...

THIS Sunday! Come one come all!

The Roundhouse Picnic in the Park has been rescheduled! Yippie!!

Its THIS Sunday August 15.

Loads of fun stuff down at David Lam Park by the water in Yaletown (Davie St @ Pacific Blvd).

Soccer, food, live music, face painting and FREE YOGA with me! (you need not bring anything. mats provided)!

It was loads of fun last year and promises to be the same again this year! And don't forget that the movie Back to the Future begins at dusk so grab a blanket, a flashlight, some snacks and enjoy!

Yoga with me is at 1230 & again at 200pm. If you have been wanting to try out yoga for the first time come on down... If you just feel like geting some stretches in outside by the water come on down. Or if you want to stop by and say hello or introduce yourself that would be great too because I am all about meeting new people.

Come down and have fun and enjoy a fun day at the park :)

A Herb Walk

I thought I'd share this video because I find it sweet and very informative.

Todd Caldecott is a Medical Herbalist and Ayurvedic Practitioner with a practice here in Vancouver. He also has an amazing website chock full of information to help keep you and your loved ones happy healthy. His website is here

As much as the rain gets to me sometimes it is pretty amazing living in a rainforest where it is just so lush, and green, and fragrant, all year long. Even in the dead of winter it is green green green....

We can't really complain having countless forests and the ocean for a backyard. Literally! I mean, who really even needs a backyard living here?

Anyways, enjoy this little video and check out Todds site.

But remember that medicinal herbs are drugs and should be treated that way. if you are expecting or breastfeeding always make sure that you check with your healthcare provider/midwife/herbalist/caregiver etc.
