Today is the first time I am writing in my kitchen looking out over a few roof tops. The pale winter sun is trying to break through making the day look a wee bit more friendly. But really, there is a snow dusting on the roof across and I can see the flag at the…
Feel the music, feel the joy
What brings you joy? For me it is music. Last week I went to a concert with an old friend of mine. I was hesitating at first, since I was tired and had to go to work the next day. While I didn’t know the band, I knew their previous musical efforts which go back…
Little Pleasures
I really enjoyed writing my post Chitter Chatter Random Thoughts last week. Cruising on gratitude is always giving me a good vibe. Focusing on little pleasures I experienced last week… I spent Thursday’s lunch break at this little italian cafe. It happens to be down the road from where I work. I have wanted to…
Yoga with an Audience
On Wednesday I woke up at 5 am and couldn’t go back to sleep. I snug out trying not to wake my son (my husband sleeps through anything). Looking forward to an extra half an hour of time for myself. I finally finally created some space in my day for home practice. After ten years…
Chitter Chatter Random Thoughts
Monday morning I woke up. The sky was clear and blue. After weeks of snow and rain and slush, it seems like spring is finally winning (I decided to ignore the weather forecast with snow for the weekend, just for today.). We had three days of beautiful sunshine. After my emotional rollercoaster weekend the storm…

Well, little did I know how emotional… Rewind… Saturday afternoon. We were doing some spine loosening exercises that involved kicking one foot forward while swinging the arms overhead in the…
What is Yoga for you?
Heading into my second yoga teacher weekend, we had some homework to do. Writing down our own definition of what yoga is for us. Obviously, there are tons out there, however, I was pondering yesterday, what yoga is for me. I think I mentioned it before that I have been practicing on and off for…
Totally screwed up!
We had our housewarming today. And we finally celebrated our son’s birthday party. So the house was full with dressed-up pirates chasing each other with swords, cake crumbs on the floor, parents chatting, the radio doodling in the background, which no-one could hear over the noise… Rewind Thursday night. Our long awaited book shelf arrived….
Every end has a new beginning…
Last weekend was my first yoga teacher training. In the morning we went through a ritual to celebrate the beginning of this journey. Writing down one habit in our life we could happily live without, burning it in the fire to let go of it. I hope it is not a spoiler if I tell…
