Day 23

Pick Up A Good Read:


But make sure the book you choose is good for the soul. During this time you want to enlighten, brighten, and uplift yourself. Remember, this time is all about you so choose it wisely. 

Usually I would pick some gruesome tales of a serial killer or something along those lines, but today I have decided to fill my brain with positive vibes and love. 

There are days when we feel that our lives or ourselves aren't up to par with societies standards, right? Yes / no? well for me that happens often. For some reason I have this terrible habit of being impatient and comparing my life to others and to what I think I should be doing. The book I decided to start reading to day is called You are a Badass: How to Stop Doubting Your Greatness and Start Living an Awesome Life By Jen Sincero. It has been sitting at the bottom of my purse for about 2 months now waiting for me to have some time to read it. When in all actuality, I have time, and I will make some time. 

If you aren't sure of some books to read ask a friend! I did this morning and she gave some awesome tips of what to read. I cannot wait to finish this book and raid her shelves. 

So, sit back, relax, and enjoy a good book.

Downward Dog & Upward Goat

Love yoga? Love nature? Love goats? Well, then I have the perfect little adventure for you.  Go-ga; Goat Yoga! Back in May of this year my friends and I saw on www.syracuse.com that goat yoga was coming our way. For a while before this had popped in our news feed, other cute videos of goat yoga from all over the country had flooded our social media pages.  It showed rooms filled with people in gentle yoga poses with little baby goats running and jumping all over; how could you not radiate positive vibes with that going on?  So when this surfaced coming our way, we had to hop on it! We scheduled our date for July 10th and anticipated its coming.  You may think well what is the point of this? I do yoga to concentrate and be conscious of my body and mind. I love goats but I don't know how to do yoga, should I go? So many questions may have been asked and are still being asked to this day when people see that I have attended and all the answers are, ...

Yoga at Home

For my job I commute about 35 minutes each way. I usually get back into town around 5/5:30pm. This gives me enough time to make dinner, play with my son, and then get him ready for bed. I do not even get enough time in the day to spend with him, my partner, and I essentially have lost a lot of "me" time which comes with being a mom.  One thing that I really always enjoyed doing was rolling out my mat; my yoga mat. My practice seriously suffered after having my son because I almost felt guilty taking that time after work away from him, or time on the weekends when we actually had real time to spend together.  I have netflix, hulu, and fios that has yoga videos available, but it just wasn't the same. Then I found oneOeight and it completely changed my practice.  Rachel Brathen, better known as Yoga Girl is the founder of this amazing website. She is a well known yogi in the community. She also just started her first Po...

Day 22

Check in: Sometimes we worry about everyone else and forget about ourselves; our family, our boss, our recipients at work, our friends- the list goes on. But none of those people can benefit from you if you aren't in tip top  shape.  There are times when we think there is nothing we really need and everything is great, but unless we really check in with ourselves, here and now,  to see if there is something going on with us physically or mentally- we may never know.  I had been going along my days feeling great, loving myself day after day; but there was something that I felt that wasn't going right. I checked into my body with deep relaxation and meditation and found that my SI joint was so off that my right leg is about 3-4 inches longer than my left. This has happened to me a few other times before and with a little massage, PT, and daily work it ended up getting better. I had just been trucking through my days like no big deal when in actuality I...
