My husband gave me a book for Christmas called, The Heart of Yoga: Developing a Personal Practice, by T.K.V. Desikachar.

Academy Awards Movie Madness- Les Miserables [Spoiler Alert!]
Every year when the Oscar nominations are revealed, I make a concerted effort to see all of the Best Picture nominees prior to the awards show. A few years back when there were only five movies in the category, this was simple. Now that there can be up to ten, I partake in a sort Continue reading

So psyched and so happy to award Scandal the premiere post of Waiting on a Word’s What to Watch. I love Olivia Pope (Kerry Washington). I Continue reading
