If at first you don't suceed, try and try again!

Day 1: NO spending day fell off the rails badly.  It was the Thursday of a long weekend likely a poor choice for a no spend day.  I bought an $18.45 bottle of wine and took a friend for sushi dinner for $50.00.  So much for that.

Day 2: I am going to call a success.  I did spend $45.00 on a massage but I will get the whole amount back when I submit my receipt to insurance so technically I didn't spend anything and for now I am sticking with that!

Day 3:  For all intents and purposes looked good at the start until I went to a birthday party and upon suggestion of wine said I could walk over and get a bottle.  Total day spending $9.95.

Day 4:  Today turned out well.  I spent the day with and at my parents.  I didn't spend a dime or go anywhere near a place to spend money....

I am 2 for 4 on this so far and that's not 1/2 bad.  Practice makes perfect.  There must be a number of other cliches that would suit this occasion but you get the point.  So on the 8th day of the month I have managed 2 no spending days....8 more to go for the month.  Truthfully I wonder how many I could do in the month?  Hmmmmmm......

My Cup O Tea

Over the years I have become a fan of tea.  My favourites are non-caffeine.  Green Teas, herbal teas and rooibus.  Almost any loose leaf tea will do.  I once got chamomile tea from a friends parents and it was really just a whole baggie of chamomile flowers.....it was from a place in Sarnia, Ontario but I am not sure exactly where.  It just seems so much fresher when you can recognize it by sight.... In June while on vacation I found a tea store selling hand tied leaves.  What a fantastic aroma of jasmine.  It is the Madame Butterfly tea by Capital Teas (www.capitalteas.com).  It was very expensive and I just couldn't afford it but they certainly had lots of great teas. My most recent vacation in Florida found me in the Spice and Tea Exchange (www.spiceandtea.com) where I purchased a small bag of loose leaf hazelnut cookie tea.  Ceylon black base so not my usual herbal but wonderful smell and tastes very rich.  An enjoyable tea....

700 Hours of Learning....start now!

Here goes I am embarking on a two year adventure into myself and the world around me through yoga, massage, coaching and other modalities.  With this journey comes a great reading list and journaling.  This is not something I have ever been able to keep up, with much regularity, as you can see from my posts here.....lol One day I may succeed as I continue to practice for the next two years. I have received the reading list and am happy to have just finished Yoga Sequencing:  Designing Transformative Yoga Classes by Mark Stephens.  This book was suggested to me and for obvious reason, it is incredibly informative.  As a beginning yoga teacher it provided great pictures and foundations for infinite classes that I am now able to create.  It will continue to be on my bookshelf as an excellent reference,and I could reread it still getting useful information a second or third time.  Now I will delve further into this genre of reading with Yoga Anatomy by L...
