About Me

Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
I'm 40 something and live in Ottawa with my husband. We're from the UK and just spent the last year or so living in Hong Kong. Three very different countries. Right now I'm not sure how this Blog is going to evolve. All I know is that I have missed blogging from my Asia days, so I'm back. My other 2 blogs have felt like they had a distinct purpose, this one feels a bit different. It feels a bit like a blank canvas on which to start writing and just see what evolves, what transpires. This blog is a bit of a magical mystery tour for me. I want to go somewhere but I'm not entirely sure where just yet but perhaps the only way to find out where I want to go is to start moving. In any direction. And see where I end up.

Day 31

I have to say, this is feeling like a habit now. I know that I must practice every day, so I do. I was a bit reluctant again today but I knew I just had to get on the mat. Once I did, there was no question about whether I wanted to be there or not and that is a wonderful feeling. Sometimes we don't want to do stuff...we resist, we make excuses. It's human nature. Sometimes our whole being resists and I'm certainly no stranger to that feeling!

I've been wondering if after the 40 days, I will still be able to summon the willpower, that force from within, that has one way or the other, got me on to my yoga mat for the past 31 days. It's so easy to find something else to fill time with, or to simply lose track of time. As for working full time and maintaining a daily practice...right now, I can't imagine how people do that; although I guess at the end of the day, it's all about priorities! I just hope that I can remember that practicing daily gives me strength in all sorts of ways. In body and mind; it helps me feel calmer, less stressed, less angry and my body just feels so much happier too.
