A shout out to inspiration!!!

Not sure where to begin....this has been a year so far...

I still have not found a yoga teacher.  More and more I really miss a couple of the excellent teachers I have had.  The first was in Vancouver in 1998 at a community center I don't remember her name but I remember her style.  My favourite song of Deva Premal is still purnamedah  which always reminds me of the teacher I had at the Y.  His class was Sunday mornings and I always felt better for it, even the day I cried through the entire class.  Another memorable teacher was in Guelph where I took my first 100 hours of yoga teacher training.   Her walking meditations changed meditation for me. It was money well spent and a memory I am grateful for.  The teacher I had in Nicaragua for 500 hours is the one I got the tongue scraper, blue pendulum, mala beads and journaling habit from.  She taught me alot....

I am finally connecting in a meaningful way with who I am, through my personal journey with yoga, ayurveda, reiki and the energy of the universe.

Reuniting recently with Reiki has been wonderful.  I have missed that meditative exchange of pure energy.  I also recently took my Reiki level 2 and it was inspiring all over again.

At the beginning of the year I felt like my journey had stalled, but now my daily practice is thriving in unconventional ways.  I look forward to my morning routine which is a combination of yoga, mantra, ayurveda and anything else that strikes me that morning.  Today it was a yoga inspired free style dance to the gayatri mantra by Deva Premal.   I also credit this growth with some new women who have come into my life .  I am looking forward to moving forward with new habits and ways of life while honoring the ancient teachings I am studying.

This month I will be holding two workshops...
The first will be on cooking from the book The Everyday Ayurveda Cookbook.  It will be a group cook of a full meal that we will share after...May 12
The other is a book club and it is my way of continuing my education and yours, paid for by donation or snack.... It means at the very least we read a yoga, ayurveda or energy inspired book a month and share our thoughts on it.  This months book is Energy Healing and we will also try some of the exercises in it.. May 25.

Week 2: Monday-Thursday

Day 5:  NO spending day.  It was a quiet Monday. Day 6:  I spent approx $6.00 to fill a prescription. I should probably update you on another goal I had for this year.  I have been trying to make it to the gym twice a week since January.  It doesn't seem like a big goal but some weeks it is tough. Truthfully I haven't made it even once in the last  two weeks but I got back on track today with a bootcamp class at the YMCA I go to.  Although I am not noticing much difference in my weight or how I look I have noticed a substantial difference in how I feel......GREAT!  I am also hoping it will translate into an improved softball season. I may never be in the shape I was at 20 again but I can certainly try and be closer than I am now. Today was also lunch date day.....my coworker brought pulled pork sandwiches with carrot stick and cherry tomatoes.  She also made chocolate peanut butter squares....ummm delicious.  I will have to get that ...

So This is Christmas

So this is Christmas And what have you done? Another year over And a new one just begun And so this is Christmas I hope you have fun The near and the dear one The old and the young A very merry Christmas And a happy New Year Let's hope it's a good one Without any fear And so this is Christmas For weak and for strong For rich and the poor ones The world is so wrong And so happy Christmas For black and for white For yellow and red ones Let's stop all the fight I was reminded of this song at a dinner theatre I went to on Monday so I looked it up and here it is.  It is amazing that a song written so many years ago is still so relevant today.  You would think with evolution and technology and all the advances of today's world there would be no validity in songs like this.  Wrong! I only hope that we as citizens of the world can join forces as one in time to save ourselves.

I am cooking from the ingredients I have!

I found a website that allows you to put in the ingredients you have in your kitchen and then gives you recipes to use them.  I have added the gadget to my blog if you want to check out how it works.  I am going to try it because I am always trying to find new ways to prepare all the things I like to eat in my kitchen.  It takes recipes from a multitude of good cooking sites such as Martha Stewart, Epicurious, All recipes and more. this week I will try the puffed pancake with strawberries and I don't have to check because Supercook already figured that out for me......
