When the Bottom Beckons
So many people say they want to write or create, but can’t get started. Some start, but then can’t finish.

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.

This week’s Daily Post Writing Challenge is Image vs. Text. Link to the Challenge here. This is my contribution. Sometimes our love is misplaced. We love what is bad for us, but makes us feel good.
