HOLY CROW! I LOVE this blogger!

Happy Monday Blogworld!
I spent a better part of last night surfing blogs. I had an urge to surround myself with something real, something beautiful, something inspiring and ....

Here is what I found!!! Naturally Nina

You know it is a good blog when you start reading, read the archives and when there is more options for "older posts" at the bottom... you feel sad. I am officially a fan!

And in other news..Let me tell you about my Sunday. Half my day was spent lounging around with a stack of movies and a person near and dear to my heart. I got up to cook breakfast and that was about it. Then,in the afternoon, for reasons not quite apparent to me at the time.. I passed out. The first time in my whole life. I have had head rushes before, I have felt light headed before, I have seen spots before, but NEVER have I EVER passed out before. Out of sheer luck I happened to be hugging said near and dear person who caught me. It was only for a couple seconds but it shook up my whole day.
The phrase often said of close friends and loved ones is "they catch you when you fall" well.. yesterday was a true illustration. It made me that much more thankful for the people I love, that love me back.
So, to those who both figuratively and literally catch me when I fall... Thank you. You mean the world to me.

Makeover!

I thought my site could use a little makeover... what do you think?

Body Worlds 3

Wow. Wow. Wow. (Did I say WOW!?!?)

I went to The Leonardo yesterday and saw Body Worlds 3. I am usually one of the most squeemish people you will ever meet when it comes to bodies (of animals, of humans, etc) but I woke up yesterday morning and decided I needed to go. It is a rare opportunity to be able to see it.... and while it was here I thought I would seize the day.
There was a plastinated camel, even an exhibit on babies...
and the part that I found interesting is a poster they had hanging explaining that it IS possible to die of a broken heart. How very sad.

The only way I made it through was telling myself that they were all plastic life-like sculptures. That seemed to work pretty well.

Anyone else in SLC get to go see this or have a desire? I would love to hear what you thought of it...

Ahhhh.. Namaste!

After about 3 weeks of thinking about it non-stop.. I hauled myself to a yoga class. It is not my typical Bikram class (Though I luuuv me some Bikram Yoga!)

I figured I owe it to myself to try many different styles and studios.
The lucky studio today?

The Yoga Center

I was fortunate enough to take a class from the studio owner, Leslie.
The class was very low key, full of smiles, human element and down-to-earthedness, and personalize attention. It was a anusara-inspired yoga class. Very centered around the heart and opening up.. or "being open to grace"

I left there feeling very calm, inspired, and smiling. Leslie has a wonderful spirit and you can tell it is in her nature to teach and nurture.

Who ordered this white stuff?

Yes ladies and gentlemen, it IS that time of year...
Big Fuzzy Boots
Hot steamy mugs of warm beverages
leaving the house 10 minutes early to make sure the car is cleared
extra blankets on the bed

Yes indeed, winter is upon us.

:(

And it is not even Halloween yet!!!
I was in Ogden yesterday and they had seven measurable inches of snow (not counting the stuff that dissolved first)
I am not ready!
I want more shorts, more iced lattes and more sunny days :(

Yup.. I am just going to keep whining....

Humor me.. and watch it!
