Round 2, days 2, 3 and 4

Posted on November 9, 2008 at 8:06pm 0 Comments

I am also a member of the Ning group, WoYoPracMo (World Yoga Practice Month for all you Giving Yogis and Yoginis! January, BTW). They have continued throughout the year and have a different theme for each month. This month the theme is "Seeing the Light, Being Light, Searching for Lightness", mainly having to do with how you use Yoga, Breathing and Meditation to bring lightness into your life during this, what many perceive to be, challenging time.

Lost track, start over?

Sometimes life happens and you just lose track. I have this feeling that I did give for all these days I missed writing. I just can't remember what they are!

As we approach the season of giving I'd like to officially start over. Starting the first time got me totally juiced and excited and inspired. So I'm pretending like I'm starting over and I'm going to get excited and inspired all over again! whee!



Part 2 - Day 1

Day of Gratitude. Started my day thanking God that I live… Continue

Days 17 and 18

Posted on October 17, 2008 at 8:34am 1 Comment

A big part of my giving right now is cleaning out my house and giving things away. Dual purpose! On Day 17 I went with my son's Kindergarten class on a field trip to a local apple orchard (gave my time) and while at the school I brought a large bag and box of toddler boy clothes to my other son's teacher who is pregnant.



Day 18: I was trying to get out of town with the kids to go visit my parents. I took my time and went through a big list of errands and other stuff on our way out of… Continue

Best Give

I think it is so fun to give when you can truly experience and get excited about the receiving as well. Yesterday YogaLaura and the other Muses and I, gave a best birthday ever (her words) to kbethiep. We planned it for several months and just had so much fun. We kept saying that we hoped she would be as excited about it as we all were! We took her to lunch, took her shopping, saw a great movie that we laughed hysterically at and culminated the day… Continue

Week of giving

Posted on October 12, 2008 at 9:46pm 1 Comment

I've missed quite a few days for very good reason - I was giving!

Mostly I was giving love and compassion and comfort and advice and condolences. On Friday night my husband and I put down our dog of 17 years, Walter. It was an agonizing decision and even thought we felt it was best, it was horrible too. We gave Walter lots of love and affection and a $5 Angus tenderloin for dinner.



During the week I also had… Continue

Hello- I thought this was nice for everyone regardless of religion or beliefs. Have a peaceful, beautiful day of the spirit.

A holiday affirmation:

I embrace the holiday season with joy and an open heart. I look at this time of year through the eyes of a child full of excitement. I gift others with kindness and a sincere smile. I feel at peace and view my life as the miracle that it is.
