office namaste

Day one of having some om in the office...

I am spending more and more time at work, getting grumpier and grumpier with the darkness that comes at 4:49pm and frustrated with the stiffness in my joints, and let's be honest, not so thrilled with the constant honking of horns. So, I decided to take matters into my own hands. 

Yep, that's a red carpet, in my office, rolled out just for me. I for one need a daily escape and rest from my computer, the frenetic energy of the city, the hustle of the sidewalk, and the mood swings of myself and my office mates. Even for five long minutes. So I brought in my yoga mat. I found a little corner, unrolled the plush mat and lay down. I stretched, I took some deep breaths, I lay in child's pose. Changed my day. I highly suggest that you get one. Your sanity will thank you. Let's hope that there's no drooling in the future (or snoring)! 


on the road again

We all have a road in life. Sometimes we get off at a wrong exit, take a detour or lose our way. But as long as we keep our eyes focused on the passing beauty, aware of the vast horizon in our midst, we can appreciate the flat tires and wrong turns, the passing trees and villages along the side of the road, the company beside us and the image in the rearview mirror, reminding us every once in a while of what came before. Our journey on the road, in our hearts, in life and in relationships is a powerful time to reflect, to pause and evaluate our direction.
