Aspiration

I know I have been gushing about yoga lately, but I'm on a kick! I have been going four times a week, and it is helping me in so many ways! My new eventual goal is to become a certified yoga instructor and teach a couple classes here and there. That would be awesome.

Yogi Love

More wise words from my favorite teabag tabs:

I am beautiful, I am bountiful, I am blissful.

May this day bring you peace, tranquility and harmony.

Grace brings contentment.

The beauty of life is to experience yourself.

It's not life that matters, it's the courage that we bring to it.

Life is a flow of love; your participation is requested.

Let your heart guide you.

Let your heart speak to other hearts.

Feel great, act great and approve of yourself.

Experience the warmth and love of your soul.

Understanding is found through compassion.

Live to share.

Wisdom, character and consciousness conquer all.

Oneness is achieved by recognizing yourself.

When we practice listening, we become intuitive.

Listen and you will develop intuition.

Your Soul is your highest self.

Joy is the essence of success.

Open up to infinity and you become infinity.

Our intuition lies in our innocence.

Act selfless, you will be infinite.

Let love elevate your self to excellence.

Gratitude is the open door to abundance.

Your greatness is not what you have, it's what you give.

Love is where compassion prevails and kindness rules.

Compassion has no limit. Kindness has no enemy.

Let your manners speak for you.

Inspiring others toward happiness brings you happiness.

Meditation is the medicine of the mind.

Life is a chance. Love is infinity. Grace is reality.


Sweet Tooth?

My company loves to celebrate birthdays. We had to cut down on the amount of "cake parties" we have because these delicious celebrations were just getting too expensive. It reminds me of that Seinfeld episode where Elaine's company has a cake party for everything.

Well today was our CEO's cake party, so it was only necessary to go all out!

My sweeth tooth log:
2 pcs mango/strawberry pie (amazing)
1 c mango sorbet (refreshing)
1 bite of blueberry pie (not the biggest fan of blueberry pie)
4 oatmeal/butterscotch cookies (another batch still are hiding in the kitchen, so the total may go up!)

Yummmmmy! I'll be good tomorrow ;)

Only in NYC

Today, during my lovely lunch in Bryant Park with my friend Molly,
I was crapped on by a pigeon.

I am waiting for good luck... any day now...

Ladi da

Right now..
I am extremely bored.
I could use a snack.
I am excited for an industry party after work!
I want to try a new recepie from my new cook book.

Work it!
This morning I ran 4 miles! My legs hurt.
I did a headstand yesterday in Yoga, my neck almost snapped but I'm improving!

Jamin'
Led Zeppelin has been dominating my ipod lately!

Daydream
I have been thinking about a special someone all day today. He makes me smile :)

Oh Baby!




Confession: Sometimes, I have the biggest sweet tooth of anyone you have ever met.


There is the greatest little bakery on my block (trouble!) called Babycakes. Its a vegan bakery that makes the majority of its goodies gluten free and dairy free! I visit Babycakes once or twice a week, and I am always welcomed by the warm, cozy room and the sweetest smell you could imagine. There are always smiling ladies baking up a storm in their cute pink little outfits and white aprons. As I walk down my favorite block in the city, Orchard and Broome, I just can't resist the sweet taste of a warm vanilla cupcake and an agave sweetened brownie! Mmmm...

Wise Words


With my newfound "earthyness," I have been enjoying a variety of herbal teas by Yogi Tea. One thing I like about this type of tea, other than its rich flavor, is the tiny tab on each and every teabag that has a special message for each cup. I have started collecting the teabag tabs (call me corny) because I like the inspiration. Here are a few words of wisdom I'll share. More will come; I drink a lot of tea..


Your breath is the voice of your soul.

Your greatest strength is love.

Grace brings trust, appreciation, love and prosperity.

Live with reverence for yourself and others.

Keep up.

Live from your heart, you will be most effective.

Live for each other.

Where there is love, there is no question.

By honoring your words, you are honored.

Your head must bow to your heart.

When you know that all is light, you are enlightened.

Love has no fear and no vengeance.

Socialize with compassion, kindness and grace.

You are unlimited.


Now doesn't that just make you want to drink some tea and do some yoga?
