Put it out there.

I’ve been thinking a lot about this blog, lately. I’ve been thinking about it for most of the year, feeling guilty and uninspired. So, I’ve revamped it and as you can see it is still in progress. Like me.  It’s about balance and goals, kids.  I am startlingly bereft of both these days and so it’s shakeup time. It’s time to invite good things and try to do some good work.  I’ve compiled a list of things that I will be engaging in and/or enjoying over the next little while: 

Food. One of my favorite things is twig tea. While hopelessly hippie-sounding, it is actually incredibly delicious tasting, both bland and jazzy and sets me right every time.  I don’t know why I don’t drink it every day.
I’m on day 8 of Full Vegan-no bull this time-Lifestyle. It's now four years into my Vegan Journey. Cheese was the second last thing to tempt me and I’m over it. The last hurdle is the Cadbury’s Cream Egg sitting on my kitchen counter.  It hates me.

Yoga. *sigh* I swear I will stretch more and become stronger this year even if I never get those fancy pants.  My friend D in Vancouver complained the other night about how “yuppie yoga” is taking over her classes.  She posited that no one is learning real yoga anymore since it became so popular and that this harms all of us who want to be properly aligned and actually taught something.  That reminded me of a class I took recently where the teacher (I use that term loosely), yelled at us.  She actually yelled the poses out at us and people around me ate it up.  She had fans lined up after class to compliment her technique.  Dude, yoga is not a competitive sport regardless of how much I want to wear the fancy pants and stretchy blue jacket that has sleeves that fold down to make gloves (gloves, I tell you!!).  There I said it.
