    This is a great thought and can be summed up by saying that "Life is not all about you". People do not realize the importance of doing for others. I hope you have a wonderful day Lisa!

    Sheliza ~ My day was very hectic but I wasn't stressed so I guess you can say it was wonderful. Thanks.

    Jennifer ~ Hey fellow mom blogger clubian! This is a comment that came straight from the hip, I wouldn't think about deleting it. Please share freely.

Yea, those moments.  Life's moments that are bliss - filled that turns in to a bliss-less-ness. Lately life has been like this for me. Can you relate? Does it seem like in one moment you know what direction you're supposed to be heading and then the next not so sure? Does it seem to have you on a high and then, before you know it, that high becomes a low? And sometimes really, really, low. Life is like this.

There is no need for me to fuss over it because as I...

"There comes a time when the world gets quiet and the only thing left is your own heart."  When the world got quiet for this young lady what became glaringly clear to me was the dust that accumulated on my yoga mat.  As time passed I felt an aching and emptiness inside of me because I missed my practice. My body had been begging me to open up and roll out my mat - correcting the aches and pains I'd been experiencing.

I felt like I couldn't just strike a pose and it mean I'm practicing yoga again.   Sometimes all you need is a little nudge. In '09 when I decided to begin my yoga practice I ...
