Where in the World?
Lesotho, Benin, Bhutan. Do you know what these words represent? I wouldn’t either prior to my internet search today. They are countries. Yep.

Academy Awards Movie Madness- Beasts of the Southern Wild

A Quick Word on Writing . . .
My intended post for tonight isn’t quite ready yet. Lunch hour flew by, yoga ran late, the kids stayed up past their bedtime. Life happened.

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