I just got stung by a bee in my backyard! OUCH! At least I think it was a bee – I’m really not sure since it stung my BOOTIE! Wow that really hurt. It’s a good thing you weren’t near me when it happened cuz I was cussin’ like a sailor! I bought a jar of honey this morning from Bees n’ Blossoms at the Reston Farmers Market - could this be revenge? Maybe this bee misunderstood because Bees n’ Blossoms treat their bees really well, using only organic and natural methods.

Anywho, this morning I had….a SMOOTHIE! Yes, surprising I know. Here’s what I had:

• vanilla rice milk
• banana
• baby spinach
• Spirutein vanilla protein powder
• 2 tablespoons of Better n Peanut Butter

And just now I enjoyed my current rave for lunch:

That would be:

• 1 cup cooked oatmeal
• 3/4 cup fresh blueberries from the Farmers Market
• 2 tablespoons Chocolate pb2 (you can see it peeking out of the top left side in the second picture)
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup
• pinch of cinnamon

SO YUMMY! For those of you who count, it’s 6 WW.

Yesterday I spent some time with a yoga teacher friend and she asked me “What do you want from your yoga practice?” I didn’t’ have an answer right away but I’ve been thinking about the question. During my practice this morning it came to me. I want to feel connection.

Connection with my mind.
Connection with my body.
Connection with my breath.
Connection with my True Self.

This is why I practice yoga.
During my regular non-yoga practicing hours, I move through my day running errands, talking on the phone, surfing the internet, teaching, cooking, exercising, eating, etc. My mind jumps from one thing to the next. I am not thinking about my body or my breath. I associate with whatever it is I’m doing in the moment – I’m a wife, I’m a daughter, I’m a yoga teacher, I’m a customer.

But during my practice this changes.
I quiet my mind and bring my attention to my breath, and I feel…whole and…happy.

Why do you practice yoga? Or…why don’t you practice yoga?
