Evangelism
The Husband asked to go surfing this morning. He rarely asks for my "yoga time" so, of course, I said sure. I went to the 9am Mysore class instead. I figured it would still be relatively crowded with teacher training going on but it was, surprisingly, empty. Last night I tripped over the stair to our kitchen... we have tile floors... I fell straight on my knees and then sat with an icepack for an hour. If you remember, I also sliced my thumb last night. While my knee managed to find solace in the ice and Motrin my poor thumb got its band-aid ripped off of me while I was trying to come up from Kapotasana today. Nice!
Practice today was wierd... just wierd.... one of those practices where something is clearly going "HEY look at me, look at me!" but it hasn't quite made it's way to the surface from the cracks inside your body (I'm convinced this crack is at the lower region of my spine)... sorta scary at the same time, isn't it? Wierd... that's all I can come up with.
My boss is Super Evangelist ExtraOrdinaire. He probably has found this blog by now... scary to think so many people in my professional life now read this blog (*shudder*) but I know quite a few who do... so, if you are reading, I mean this with absolutely positive admiration. He's Super Evangelist Extraordinaire because he's totally out there with enthusiam and excitement about the things he's doing... he's got that drive, that HEY MOM LOOK AT ME... that's really cool... I can't do that kinda shit. I'm like "Dude, turn the other way, nothing to see here."
....
I had to leave and come back to this post and have no idea what I was even writing... so, nonetheless... big meetings tomorrow... no Mysore... maybe at club.. maybe self-practice. We'll see what happens...
In the meantime...
I feel the urging to
get a tattoo
cut all my hair off
drink a whole hell of a lot of wine (probably stemming from PMS)
eat more Dagoba Roseberry Chocolate Bars <--- note the plural there
lay on a beach and have someone bring me drinks when I drop a little flag
I'm going to Orlando in August for a weeklong conference. Usually the kids and The Husband come with but this year we can't afford for everyone to go.... I looked today, no Mysore in Orlando so it will be a week of self practice... which will be nice in the HEAT or Florida in August! WHoohooo love that. I think I'm also gonna get the Shirodhara and Bindi treatment while there.. it will, literally, be The Ritz Carlton version, but, heck, it'll still rock. As close to drinks on a beach as I'm gonna get for awhile anyway.

Do all of those things, in abundance. get it out, have your fun, do your practice too. Its all about the balance.
