2017: Always Moving Toward My Happiness

Happy New Year!!

I am excited for another year of the artisan market,300 hours yoga teacher training, having more fluent Spanish, the community garden project, composting project, teaching my Wednesday morning yoga class, working on my pool, and apartment.....etc

I have a very long list of things to live for and work towards and each day I move forward gets me just a little closer to everything I came to Nicaragua to do.

I am a little bit late getting my News Year entry out because I have been working on this........

and.......the huerto comunitario!!!

Every Friday since October or November now we have been toiling away getting dirty outside my back gate.  My backyard backs onto one of the baseball fields in town and every yard has the equivalent of a boulevard.  For the most part they are not well taken care of....but thanks to help from La Casa Verde, Abonatura and lots of volunteers we are slowly moving around the baseball field building vegetable, fruit and flower gardens in public spaces.  This was one of the last Fridays in December 2016 and the progress we made in a short time.  It really is true that many hands make light work.


How did I do with last years goals and aspirations?

I taught class 32 weeks this year....I got through a good portion of the list of poses that I had chosen for each month and blogged about them for most of the year.  A hundred percent better than the previous year.  Thumbs up me!!!

My adventures continue and I am excited to be working on a number of projects this year on my own and as part of a team.  

I am not sure what my plan is for this year....actually now that I say that I think I do know.  I am not very good with discipline.  I am self-employed here and it has been a big change from the corporate world.  All good changes I have to say but definitely harder to be motivated to stick to a schedule when you are the boss and there is a beer with your name on it at the nearest bar.  So this year I am going to work on discipline in all the areas of my life...being on time...studying...and any other area that requires discipline.

Heres to 2017....may it be my best and most enlightened year yet....

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...

Where is the balance?

Everyday I wake up with big plans of getting some exercise, making some jewelry, Christmas decorations and cards and somehow it is now just before Christmas and I have not gotten in any better shape and have only made one pair of earrings this year....Where is the balance? How do I stop everyday life from stopping me.  By the time I get home from work, make dinner and do all the things I have to do which now also include a college course and a volunteer position I have no time for the things I set out to do at the beginning of the year.  I do not know where I could possibly squeeze in another hour or so....I am already exhausted.  I had mistakenly thought that when I sold my house and no longer had that maintenance to look after I would have more time...nope not so.  Okay so I got a job that I only work 35 hours a week and get off at 2:30 on Fridays and I could use that time....nope....now it just gets used for errands most times.... I keep asking myself this q...
