Part-time madness!
Wow, first off I haven't updated this blog in a long damn time!
Well now that school is finished and the holidays are over, life is back to normal... HA! not really... I've started two teaching jobs back to back. I'm teaching Monday nights at the Crate corporate fitness center, and Thursday nights at a local coffee shop (for a community class). I also have one private client on Sunday mornings. All in all this is AWESOME!...but I now officially realize that I am working a part-time job. Realistically... it doesn't feel like work to me at all and I love it!
I don't want to be a yoga pimp, but I can honestly say that it has changed my life for the better. The physical part is good, but the mental part is stellar. I have an amazing amount of focus, and I'm no longer bitchy. Everything just kind of rolls off the back... and I can't even attribute that to booze as I've quit drinking all together!
What's wrong with me?!!!!
Seriously, I've never felt better in my life... now if I could only get that silly Brit in the same town with me, I would be in heaven.

Happy New Year!
Well hello all... it's really 2009. That's crazy. I remember when the big millennium scare was going on & that doesn't seem that long ago.
With this new year I have reflected on the last one and how crazy it really was. I went through a ton of emotional upheaval for a multitude of reasons, came full circle with my job (and how devoted I was going to be to it), began yoga school & got certified as a yoga instructor, and most importantly, met my soul mate. Yes I know that's the cheesiest most cliche word to use in a relationship... but it's true.
I look at 2009 not with resolution, but with intention. Intention to strengthen my faith and get back to church (even though I missed this morning...not on a good start!), to take yoga to a completely different level in my life, to help others who are less fortunate than I am, to continue on my alcohol-free path (which I haven't really advertised up until now!), to enjoy the relationship with my parents that has come to a completely different level, and to work towards getting my relationship with my sister back.
I call these intentions because it's all about the act of working towards these things, rather than a goal or final outcome. It's easy to say, "I need to lose weight" but if you don't, then you've set yourself up for failure. If you say, "I intend to eat better and work on my health", then you've got a much better chance of change then the previous statement. It's all in how you look at it and how you perceive it.
With all that mumbo-jumbo, I want to with each and everyone of my friends, family, and strangers who may read this, a happy, healthy, and prosperous new year full of good things and happy memories!!!
