I have been away for a while

Actually, just here and there. But I have been away for a while from my blog. Not intentionally, it just happened that way. I was busy, yes. But I have been busy before. Truth is, I did not make it a priority. And practicing yoga has not been a priority either. Not only is my…

Day 11: Finding treasures

I came across a little treasure today. Another blogger that found me and me finding her blog called luvwhatuce in return… a little treasure box of inspirations. The following five statements are great reminders of what can be rewarding in our lives. Fill in the blanks with your own words… 1- “A goal I’m currently working toward…

Day 10: Abundance

Piping-hot vegetable soup, home-made banana bread for dessert and a cup of tea. Whenever I make time to cook I love the result. This is such an easy way to connect with what is good for body and mind… Savoring time well-spent on nourishing food. Watching my son and his friend stirring the dough, giggling,…

Day 8: Grace

I have taken to asking for grace. Often my yoga teachers suggest to ask the universe for what I need to today. And I have taken to asking for grace. Having the grace to let go of things. Having the grace to accept what is. And having the grace to do so with love. I…

Day 7: Boundaries

Day 6: Presence

Today I feel so vibrant. I moved through some beautiful Sun Salutation this morning. Looking out of the window at the blue sky. And after I got home I just had to spend more time outside. I went for a long run. I had the perfect pace, where running seemed so effortless. Fully present. Listening…

Day 5: Freedom

True freedom manifests itself in my own mind. So many boundaries are being imposed by what I think. What I believe to be true. What I think I should be doing. What I assume others expect me to do. Rarely by what reality presents. Here is to defying my own limits…

Day 4: Celebration

A few weeks ago I noticed that I was getting closer to completing my 50th blog post. Quite a milestone for me. Since then I have been battling what could be described as writer’s block. I just drew a blank when thinking about things to write about. Yes, life has been busy. And yes, I…

Day 1: Beauty

We went for a run. Along a quiet canal not far from the busy streets of Leipzig’s center. Only a handful cyclists and joggers passed us. The mosquitos were trying to get their fair share for dinner.. Here and there my friend’s dog would stop to follow a scent. Dusk was slowly settling over the…
