Yoga, A Way of Life

By -
This week I decided that it was time to begin my Yoga practice again. It’s been a long time since I practiced, over six months to be exact. Now I’m realizing how much I missed it. Yoga is more than just movements, a faze, something one does.. Yoga is a way of life. You can’t practice Yoga and not feel compelled to make changes in other areas of your life. Like embracing how much Yoga is connected to my spiritual practices, many of which I put aside for sometime. The reasons are rather touchy at the moment and maybe I’ll share that at another time. But, I’m making a conscious effort to bring them back into my life, today.



Here are a few others things I’ve noticed:

1. My body feels great.

2. My mind is clearer.

3. I want to feed my body the things it needs not always what it wants.

4. When I’m dealing with my children and Husband I’m more patient.

5. I’m physically becoming stronger.

Just these five things alone makes this practice worth it for me.

Moving your body in whatever way you choose whether it be Yoga, Running, Swimming, Cycling, Aerobics, Tai Chi, Palates, Zumba, whatever it is will change your life for the better. Physical fitness not only strengthens your body but it will also strengthen your mind.

What kind of exercise regime do you practice? What would you like to practice if there was nothing stopping you?

My Monday Morning Started At 11:00PM...Last Night!

We had to take little j. to the Doctor this morning because last night he didn't sleep good and neither did we. He kept crying and crying and wouldn't stop. We were completely thrown because he had such a good day. Could it be: 1. He's teething and it's bothering him? Yes, but a little baby Orajel and infants Tylenol should have done the trick. It didn't. 2. I ate something that didn't agree with him? Of course we couldn't come up with anything. 3. He was just so tired from everything we did yesterday and it was hard for him to fall asleep? Maybe. 4. He got bit by a bug and we didn't know? We checked all over, no bites. We even checked to see if there was a piece of hair wrapped around his little fingers and toes. None! 5. Because he's teething he could have an ear infection? Yes very possible but he didn't show the usual signs: fever, pulling at his ears (that looked like it was out of the norm for him because it's something he does often...

Inspired To Write...

The other day a friend of mine asked me, where have you been? She then proceeded to say, it's like you fell off the face of the earth. I laughed and said, "no, I've actually fallen onto the face of the earth". Girl, thanks for that little laugh, I appreciated the moment :) I've fallen onto the face of the earth and bumped right into my family, friends (old and new), business partners, business meetings, social gatherings, moms meetings, and so many activities for the kids, life has been busy. My natural journey has opened so many doors, talk about beautiful women. Sistah's who have inspired me to keep going and stay focused on the end result rather than the transitioning stage. These days I mostly wear my hair in a ponytail-bun. I don't have time to get all fancy, but when I can I'll do a two-strand twist style and use my latest product discovery, Oyin Handmade . They are very reasonable and the products smell so good. If it's one thing I...
