Monday, Monday..

I haven't done one of these in awhile, so I figured I'd tell you all about my weekend! Exciting right? Let me hear those ooooh's and ahhhhhh's.

I had absolutely no plans on adulating on Saturday for the most part. I wanted to become one with my couch, but the universe had other plans for me. I wanted to do a mini photo shoot with my first ever Stitch Fix box, because I needed to send it back today. I was putting on my face, when my phone rang.

My bestie who was moving out of state for a new adventure called me in an anxious mess asking me for my help. Of course I couldn't say no to a friend in need when all I planned to do was sit on my couch. We made a deal. If she took my photos for me I would be at her disposal. It was a win/win in my book.

Here's a sneak peak of one of the photos. She did awesome, don't you agree? Make sure to tune in later this week for the full photo shoot and first impression of my first ever fix!


It was a bittersweet day though. This was my last time hanging out with my bestie for awhile. She is off to new things 7 hours away. Thank God for Facebook video chat right?

Next on my weekend adventure was visiting my parent's in Pennsylvania on Sunday. They got a new puppy about a month ago and I still hadn't met him. I was so excited to meet the new baby. He was everything I could of hoped for, and more.

He was tiny and cuddly and just all around cute. What's not to love. he laid perfectly in his little bed and slept for a majority of the visit, but he was very shy. My parents reassured us that he was normal a destructive little machine. Maybe we will see that next visit?

In the meantime, here is a cute photo of the little guy.


So yeah that was my exciting weekend. Don't forget to go answer my pondering question from Friday for me. I need it for an upcoming project. I promise it only takes a minute and it will be very helpful to me.


Have a great week ya'll!

Get your happy on!

They always say happiness comes to those who wait. But I say why wait? Get out there and create the happiness you are seeking. Only you know what will make you happy. You need to be in charge of that. So I have a question today for you to ponder. It's a simple question, but may take some thinking.

If you could put 5 "things" in a box to make you happy. What would they be?
 
I put "things" in quotes because these things can be anything you can dream up. They can be feelings. They can be objects. They can be places. I am so curious to know what those things would be for you.
 
This post will have a part 2. So think about this for me. Leave me your honest answers!

Yoga Teacher Training: Vol. 2


It has taken me 5 weeks and another yoga weekend to really put into perspective how my training is going. How it has already touched me so deeply.

They say training to teach yoga will chage you, and before starting the classes your mind probably wanders as to what that actually means. How will you change? At least these were the questions I asked.

I walked into a studio with a room full of (mostly) strangers and walked out after 3 days feeling like they were my family. They understood me.

I am in the process of tremendous growth within my own soul. I'm working through things I never thought possible. This practice isn't only physical, but mental and spiritual.

We spend more time talking about yoga then we do in physical practice. The practice we get is amazing. We get to flow and learn. My body is so alive.

I believe everything happens for a reason, and though it's been tough balancing a new job, personal distractions, and keeping up with my practice and studies, I'm grateful for it all. It's challenging me to be my best self. It's showing me the world is mine if I want it.

I am going to come out of this certification ready to share my knowledge with you all. I will be able to support anyone who needs me, because I am supporting myself. It's a wonderful feeling.

I have some specific topics I want to discuss in the next few weeks leading up to my next training weekend. They will be more specific then this overall thought I have had through this.

I can't wait to share.

Namaste  <3
