Wanderlust

I just bought this on Etsy today and I can’t wait for it to arrive in the mail. I love brass and silver things.

Since becoming well again after a few days in bed, and after basically being sick this entire semester, and despite my recently acquired stress [bald] spot (sigh), I’m feeling pretty good. This is going to be a good summer.

Namasté

I’ve been feeling motivated to make some positive changes in my life. Barring the occasional epicurean indulgence I’ll allow myself, I’ve made an effort to follow Michael Pollan’s principle of, “Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.” In addition, I’ve taken up yoga once again, trying my hand at Bikram Yoga. It’s pretty intense and I often wanted to give up and collapse in my pool of sweat in that oppressive 110°F room, but I endured, and the overwhelming sensation of well-being and feat I felt at the end made it all worthwhile. It makes my usual routine Hatha Yoga look wimpy by comparison.

Good again

A little music, exercise and fresh air does wonders for your mood.

New you

I have a lot of plans for the new year; there are loads of things I want to do and accomplish. What better time than now (new year, change of circumstance) to start anew and do the things you’ve long wanted to do, and be the better daughter, sister, friend, person you’ve always wanted to be.
