We got the sorry news recently that one of our beautiful yoga teachers has breast cancer. She is in her early 50's I think, but like most yoga teachers, looks 30. I am sad that she has to go through this, but thinking good thoughts for her full recovery. Lots of ohms going out for her. xxxooo
I'd taken myself off the yoga teaching schedule when I was finishing writing The Christmas Village, and then stayed off because we will be leaving soon. But I sub for other's classes and I'm doing several this month. It's nice to be able to teach some farewell classes.
Hey did I tell you that a famous actress practices at our studio? She came to my book signing too :-) Think "Love Story."
Today is work until about 2pm,

| That's our studio, but I'm not in this picture |
then handstand practice,
 |
| I CANNOT do THAT. But I'd like to. |
then chanting class. I'm always tired by the time we get to chanting at 4:15, but I always feel better - relaxed - afterward. I call it my choir practice.

Full Moon...I wonder if that's why I couldn't sleep last night.
ReplyDeleteYes - that's why, for sure!
DeleteThought I looked a lil hairier this morning :P Sending some love to your lovely yoga teacher - every lil helps :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Anna, yes, every bit helps.
DeleteThe full moon explains a few things. :-) So sorry to hear about your friend and sending positive vibes. Hope you have a great day!
ReplyDeleteThanks Tracy Jo :-)
DeleteI wish I could do this blogfest, but there's just too much on my plate right now.
ReplyDeleteStopping by to say hello from the Campaign. I'm in your MG/YA group. Looking forward to the awesomeness.
Awesome blog. Following! :)
Hi David - thanks for coming by - I'll stop over for a visit.
DeleteAli MacGraw came to your book signing! Cool!
ReplyDeleteStay warm!! Have fun! :)
She did!! I think there may be pictures of her back a ways - the signing was last October. If not here, then over on my book blog at Http://thechristmasvillagebook.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteWow. Such a busy and productive life. Sending good thoughts for your friend.
ReplyDeleteThanks TEC - much appreciated
DeleteDear Melissa,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip about taking life easy today. I was wondering why I felt so sluggish when writing my posting for Tuesday. Normally I post around 11:30. Today I wasn't able to get the words right until 1:45!
So soon I will leave the blogging world and take the rest of the day off.
Peace.
I'm very proud of you!!
DeleteAli MacGraw I'm guessing...how sweet. What was your last book.
ReplyDeleteYes, you're right. My book was The Christmas Village - you can read about it down the left side of the blog. I'm working on a sequel.
DeleteI do yoga too, but seeing as classes are held in French here in Geneva, I've brought along Jillian Michaels' DVD. I'm exhausted by the end and my dog likes to try and lick my face during the up-facing-dog (irony!) move, but it's all worth it in the end.
ReplyDeleteI used to do a private class with two ladies and the bog liked to lick their feet and faces during savasana. :-)
DeleteLove the idea of chanting :)

It makes you feel good. I really don't care that much about the meaning of the words, I just like saying them and the beautiful sound it makes.
DeleteI think I've forgotten how to "take it easy" lately. sad, but thank you for the reminder.

Oh, you braggart, you! Ali McGraw?! Just kidding! That is really awesome. I would probably slobber all over myself if I met her! :D
