Happy Sunday Everyone! I type this post while watching the second quarter of the Cowboys-Giants game (DVR'ing Breaking Bad-- decisions, decisions). I love watching a good football game, especially when it's not a Jets game. My poor husband, a lifelong Jets fan, suffers season after season watching the Jets. Sometimes there's cursing and yelling involved.... Continue Reading →

After starting this blog with a sprint from the starting line on January 3, 2013, I now crawl over the 100 post milestone, almost six months later. So what have I learned from blogging? Well, I've read that most blogs die around six months. I've definitely slowed down, but I'm not dead by far. I... Continue Reading →

My yoga classes are held at a gym-- a regular gym with rows of treadmills and ellipticals, a basketball and racquetball court, and even a "Cardio Cinema" (Basically, it's a movie theater that substitutes cardio machines for seats. Ingenious.). The good thing... Continue Reading →
Tonight I attempt to get back into the blogging groove with a short, simple post. Thanks for coming back. I'm immersed again in my yoga book: The Heart of Yoga: Developing a Personal Practice, by T.K.V. Desikachar, and wanted to share. Here's a verse I found in the "Yoganjalisaram" section: Respect parents, avoid evil, seek... Continue Reading →
Highlights and lowlights from my week: First, the lowlights: * It snowed. About five inches in the Trenton, New Jersey area. This meant that I had to dig out snow pants, waterproof gloves, hats, scarves, boots (which I did not have for my older son, so had to improvise). This also meant I had to... Continue Reading →
On Saturday, M. and I ventured on our weekly food shopping journey to Whole Foods. My husband requested wings for Superbowl Sunday and Whole Foods was having a sale, so M. and I did our shopping, then grabbed a bucket and filled it up with three different types of chicken wings. M. and I were... Continue Reading →
My husband gave me a book for Christmas called, The Heart of Yoga: Developing a Personal Practice, by T.K.V. Desikachar. I previously posted about my newfound love for yoga, and I wanted to share something I read that applies universally, whether or not you enjoy yoga practice. The following is from Chapter Two, "The Foundations of Yoga Practice." Don't... Continue Reading →
