I have this thing where I decide I don't want to do things even though I know that I'll be happy once I do them. Does that make sense? Does this happen to you?
Let me explain:

Little Connections
This morning I taught yoga twice, as I do a lot of times. 
I did not look like the above picture. That is just a picture of the two of us and my underarm fat that I kind of like.
Jay came to my 6:15am class, and hooooboy is that early. Once you get up you're all LOOK AT ME I'M CONQUERING THE WORLD, but actually making the move to get your ass up is...a lot, sometimes. ...
2014 In Review
In review! How the heck is it New Year's Eve?
What are you doing tonight? We're having people over and making a thousand sausage cheddar balls because WHY NOT, and there will be babies (not mine) and dogs and food and champagne and it's going to be fabulous but low key.
I might not shower beforehand. Not sure yet.
This is one of my favorite days of the year, not just of course because of the excuse to overeat and over drink or the sparkly everything, but I really do like reminiscing and thinking about our year - the good, bad, and ugly. We've had a GREAT year, for the most part, and I consider myself so lucky to be a part of this life.
So, let's look back!

If We Just Try to Listen {the generation gap}
The other night I accidentally got into a conversation about the gays.
Does that ever happen to you? Usually I'm pretty intentional about getting all deep with people about any subject, especially when it's about stuff that I'm mainly 100% sure I'm right about and if anyone argues with me I get REAL nasty.
But it wasn't like that. The conversation took place between me and two people from an older generation than I - they're both a little older than my parents. They're also humans that I respect to the millionth degree, so before we go further you should know that this isn't a case of me rolling my eyes at ignorant rednecks, though that happens a lot.

On Finding Your Dharma
Today we're talking about dharma! Purpose! Life's work!
It's very light for a Monday.
Or not.
This weekend I spent lots of time in a yoga retreat, and our studio owner is all up in arms these days about figuring out why you're here, and honing in on it with laser focus. It's actually something I've been thinking about a lot recently relating to my life and the 1,847 balls I generally keep in the air, and so the weekend came at just the most perfect time. We mostly agree at our studio that we'd all live there together and talk about light and happiness and eat quinoa all day if we could, but we live in the real world and have families and bills and the desire to watch Gossip Girl while drinking boxed wine with our sisters, so we have to take these little moments together when we can, make the most of them, and then use the lessons we learn out in the big scary world.
Like dharma.
