Lazy Days of Summer

Lazy Days of Summer – I am still waiting for them to hit. Life has been very busy around here. I thought that once baseball season came to a close at the beginning of August our “Lazy Days of Summer” would start, but no such deal. Timmy had basketball camp with his cousin Gabriel and Nick got himself into a pick-up basketball league at the same time. Once that was all over I thought here come our “Lazy Days of Summer” but again no such deal. I am still the glorified taxi driver – and I might add they don’t tip very well!!!! Ha! Ha!

The past couple of weeks we went to the “Purple Monkey” in Weedsport for antiquing, Mackenzie-Childs just because, on the Colonel Belle a boat on the canal for my husband’s 25th high school reunion and spent time at the urgent care unit for Timmy to get his foot x-rayed after dropping an oversized skate board on it. Thank God he didn’t break his foot but the little guy will be loosing a bunch of toenails in the near future.

In addition to all this we had friends from Chile over, I am restarting my training of the September Triathlon (I had a walking pneumonia), teaching lots of yoga as usual and working diligently on my artwork for my September show.

Well that has been life up ‘til now, I will keep you posted on other fun things going on. Have a wonderful day and remember, “Live simply, love generously, care deeply, speak kindly and leave the rest to God!”
Namaste.

Tell yourself "I Can!"

Being positive takes effort. It is a choice to be sure. Great things can come out of it. How do we start? We can start by saying "I can!" It is as simple as that, now the work must begin!

I have a laundry list of things I want to accomplish. It ranges from doing more artwork, to cleaning the house, to organizing the basement, to getting into better shape, etc... Where to start?

Now that is a good question. I am practicing taking one minute or hour at a time and get through that with something positive to show at the end of it. It is like being in a yoga pose and when it gets really intense and you want to get out of it just sticking with it and breathing through it and the next thing you know you did it. What a great feeling that is!

I am going to do some art work now and I'll let you know how it goes! Remember these two words, "I can!" and watch your world change!
Namaste.

This is a new film that I am looking forward to that I first viewed on a friends blog. Please see below post "Alice in Paris" to link to her beautiful blog. Meanwhile enjoy the film clip.
Namaste.

Something New

When was the last time I tried something new?
It was about 3 weeks ago on my way to the YMCA at 5:15am!

What was it?
I brought my camera with me and captured the sunrise over the vineyard that I am blessed enough to pass every morning on my way.

How did it make me feel?
Witnessing and recording this sunrise made me feel connected to this amazing universe and blessed that I could see such beauty doing ordinary things like going to train and teach yoga.

Would I do it again?
Absolutely - I think it would be amazing to capture the sunrise at the same location during the different seasons.

What did I learn?
I learned that there is beauty in everything we do - we just need to be present to appreciate it!

What will be next?
I would like to create a large collage on canvas. I am always creating tiny ones for jewelry but I think it is time to do it on a large scale!

What is next for all of you?
Namaste.
