3 sleeps left!

Pinch me!  Pinch me!

3 sleeps left til my Yoga Retreat in Beautiful Shuswap Lake!

I have been looking forward to this weekend of
PURE BLISS
with Padma & her signature workshop for months!

"This October, refresh your inner strength and spend a weekend practicing wonderfully revitalizing yoga and meditation with us. We'll be exploring yoga philosophy about bliss and peace in life. Learn about the subtle energies of the body, the koshas and doshas, and practice ancient purification techniques from the classical Yoga Sutras. You'll come away completely replenished and full of knowledge of how you can maintain this excellent feeling every day. Practices will include meditation, yoga and philosophy, yogic psychology, and exercises to clear, align, and strengthen the praan or subtle life force in you."

Got my mat ready, my journal, a new Chopra book...

P I N C H   M E !!!!!

"your blog is out of date"

Ya ya ya...tell me somethin' i DON'T know!

Mental block? Creative differences...with myself?

Tired? nothing witty to say? lazy? Lazy! That's it!

Ok, so what have I been up to...

Yoga classes are back in session at Unison Yoga. WOOT!

I dragged Ms. Cupcake with me for this set....

I think she likes it! She rocks the Eagle pose, & I'm secretly happy that her downward facing dog sucks as much as mine does! ;) I joke!

I have 7 shifts left on the Unit I work on...secretly happy again...& after that, the world...um, the hospital is my oyster.

Less than a month til my Yoga weekend getaway!  BLISS!!! {i still have to pinch myself!}

Next week is the Evening of Art Fundraiser for The Shanti Uganda Society. SO PUMPED!!!  I am just loving working with this organization...truly amazing!

The boys are good, the dogs are good, the husband is, well isn't that just another blog post in itself!  I kid! I kid!

What else...mmm, two things left for you....

1) A lovely quote;                             
    

"I live in possibility."

~ Emily Dickinson

2) I have started my Christmas shopping!

And now I believe that this makes me officially....UPDATED!

Happy New Year!

I leave you with this quote from Eden Ahbez

"The greatest thing you'll ever learn

is just to love and be loved in return."

Welcome!

Here it is! My NEW blog!

Some of you knew I was on Rocketgirl hiatus, some of you may have had an inkling that I was revamping...Why do I need a revamping you ask? Well, when I started blogging, it was blind & unknowing...totally fun. I STILL find it totally fun, but I want to blog about different things. 

I will definitely still keep posting to The Amazing Adventures of Rocketgirl ... which I LOVE, cuz it IS fun...a fun little blog about nothing & everything all at once.

I wanted to start a new blog though, to reflect the many changes going on & about to be going on...in my life.  This blog is going to be more focused on wellness, health, perspective, peace, balance, love , personal fulfillment and my journey in attempting to attain it all (don't worry, there will be some fun thrown in there too!).

I think it can be done.  An ambitious task? You bet! But I am up for the challenge.  Did that all seem a little vague & confusing? Don't worry, it won't be for long!
