Meditation

I love this yet feel awful that I don't remember what book I got this from.

I remember being at the library months ago, stack of books beside me...

pulling my camera out and taking a pic of this page.

Anyways... it just puts very simply what meditation is and does.

Namaste♥

Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits; they become character. Watch your character; for it becomes your destiny.

I'd be lyin' if I said I had never done any of these asanas.

Thanks to yoga I do them very rarely (and no I have never done the kicking cat). I'm an expert at the calm before the storm. And have been known to do the wiggling Matsyasana on occasion. haha...what about you?

Marilyn's been known for a lot of things..

A Sex symbol, a pop and cultural icon...

ahem- [clears throat-shhh..] her connection with the Kennedys. But maybe she connected her mind with her body as well on occasion? These pics have been floating around on the web so I thought I'd share. RIP Marilyn & Namaste ♥

Elderly Couple of 62 Years plays piano

I LOVE the elderly and hope to be elderly myself one day!

They say there are two kinds of people.

"The elderly, and those who WILL be the elderly" -*if one is lucky.

Such wisdom... and on top of that, they sure know how to rock!

Alone much?

Most people who know me find me to be extremely extroverted and outgoing (which is true), yet the folks closest to me know just how much time I spend alone. It's quite a bit.

I am somebody who needs lots of alone time every single day. I am an early riser and that early morning quiet time alone I cherish soooo much.

Call me strange but I don't sleep in even on my days off, as my alone time/me time takes priority over sleeping-in any day of the week. I find it literally necessary for my well being. Like time spent on my mat, time alone restores me.

For me time spent alone gives me so much more to give others 'out there' in the world ;)

I can't recommend enough hangin' with yourself. Pencilling yourself in. Whether its time spent on your yoga mat, your meditation cushion, listening to tunes, taking a walk through a forest, a nice hot bath (those are just some of my favourite alone type things to do)

If you have children get a baby sitter or call a friend to take them off your hands for an hour.

Just do it.

I really like the girl in this video, Tanya Davis. Like Tanya says...time alone?

Embrace it♥
