2018: L.E.A.P.

I like to choose a word each year and see if I can embody and embrace what that words stands for in the coming year.  This year I have decided that I will use an acronym that will give me 4 words to work with but before we get into that.....

Let's look back briefly at the stats from last year:
taught 83 yoga classes
gave massage 16 times
made 9 blog posts
bujo 9 months

This year I strive to:
teach 160 classes
write 12 blog posts
bujo 12 months
give 52 massages

These are the tangibles.  Now back to the words of the year and my intangible goals.

Listen and educate without ego, adventure and play without limits is my mantra for the year.  I expect I will not arrive at the end of this journey by the end of the year but a worthy goal has been set.

Using one of these words each month I will explore what it means in the different areas of my life and share those insights in future blog posts this year.  I am going to start the journey in the yoga sutras and see where it leads each month. 
















The beginning of the year's collections in my bujo.  This will help me be accountable this year while exploring how to L.E.A.P.

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....

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...
