Heat

Wow!
It is hot out here in the Northwest!
This heat wave weekend has been full of cleaning.

I have been doing summer cleaning and Yoga while sweating and watching all my animals lay around with their belly's hanging out.
I rearranged my bedroom and now at night I can smell the heat, the sound and the Eucalyptus trees outside my window. I feel like I am in California.

In other big news I am going to do my first Yoga retreat in September. I am very excited about this. It is going to be a weekend filled with organic food, Yoga and will be held on a very beautiful Island called Orcas Island in the San Juans. They have natural hotsprings and wonderful beaches.

Work is well. I am still standing up for myself and making friends. I am approaching my fifth month on the job and I can't believe time has just flown by!
In the next few days, I will be an Aunty and my board position has started.

Life is taking on a very grown up and peaceful feel to it. I will now balance working and my inner world in a nice way.

My tomatoes are almost ready to be eaten! I can't wait to share the wonderful food with all my friends.
I must go trim my basil now.

Learn from my mistakes

This has been my theme lately.
I have stopped being so critical of myself and I have decided to treat life like a science experiment or math problem. If you make a mistake, learn from it and move on until the desired outcome is reached.

This is a big shift for me. I used to be so frozen from fear and negative thoughts.
I feel free, mature and very grounded!

My other exciting lesson right now is to stop being a victim. I have taken a situation in which I felt victimized and I am turning it around to a place where I am in control, level headed and all emotions have left the situation. I understand what is happening, I know it is wrong and I am willing to walk away from it. I will not play a part in this negative cycle.

Oh, and I did Yoga today so I feel GREAT!!!!!

Starting next week, I might take some private lessons.
That is going to be great!

I love Yoga Life

After seeing Doreen Virtue in Seattle last month, I was inspired to start doing Yoga.
I found an amazing studio and signed up for the intro class.

This was my second week and I can't say anything more than "I LOVE IT".
The studio is beautiful. You can check it out here YOGA LIFE .
This place makes me want to quit my tech job and just do Yoga all day long.
I feel like I am having a midlife crisis. I want to work in a positive environment where I can have a perfect balance of work and personal life. But then I am too ambitious to not work in the tech world.

I know my path will become more clear and I will find this balance.
