Rest…it’s a part of the balance equation!

It’s Sunday night and I find myself uncharacteristically relaxed.  It was quite a busy day (that’s the normal), but the not so normal part is my intentional attention to being inattentive, relaxing and letting the cares and to do’s float away. Much to my sweet hubby’s chagrin, I am not a napper.  In fact I find sleep a terrible waste of time.  I hate to rest, I hate solitude.  I’m a doer in every...

More about balance…

When I was a kid, I knew nothing about Yoga.  No one ever spoke of it, I didn’t even know the word.  Everyone was into Jane Fonda workouts on cassette tapes,  jazzercise, and step aerobics.  Not Pilates and yoga.   But for some reason I always stood like this.  When I was just hanging out having conversations I would stand like this.  I would stand like this while I did dishes (by hand I might add). ...
