I hope you are enjoying your New Year's Day. We are quite the party animals. I'm pretty sure we were sound asleep by 10:15 last night. But to our credit, we started off the year with 9 hours of sleep which is a treat in our house. Thank you, Mr. Kyle.

I am 1 for 1 on my January Yoga challenge: 31 practices in 31 days. My studio was closed today so I went back to the studio I started yoga with 21 years ago. It was fun to do things a little differently to start the year off.

What's YOUR word going to be this year? If you just said "Huh?", read yesterday's blog and also below.

I have chosen the word "Challenge" for 2013 and am thinking about taking on a new challenge for each month of the year. Don't know for sure how this will play out, but it could be a "challenging" theme. I know, I know, don't I have enough "challenge" just being Kyle's mom? Yes and no. The self imposed challenges tweak routines and make life a little sweeter and more interesting, not to mention the growth that can happen during challenges. And when you choose  your own challenge (vs when life throws you one) you get to play at your edge rather than on the edge of the cliff.

The last two years  I posted this excerpt from Christine Kane's blog, it was so much fun hearing from readers about what they chose for their "One Word". Please let me know if you have picked one.  You inspire me!

 

 

 

 

 

Want to know a little more about how it works. Here's an explanation from Christine Kane's blog. Or, go to her website http://christinekane.com/word/

"Let’s say you are one of the many people who would normally choose “Get Organized.” You look around to see clutter all over your life. You’re tired of the chaos. So, you think, “I need to get organized. That should be my Resolution this year.”

But then you read this blog. You decide to try it.

You sit with your clutter. You spend a few days pondering words that will inspire you. You realize in an “Ah-Ha!” moment that you tend to cling to lots of things. You’re scared to let go. So you choose the word “Release” because it inspires you in a bigger way than “Get organized.”

So, every time you approach your clutter you remind yourself of that word. “Release,” you say softly. You start to let the clutter go. Eventually, you realize that you’re still holding on to lots more than just physical clutter. You realize that you hold onto resentment at old relationships. “Release,” you remind yourself. You realize that holding on is affecting your diet and health. “Release” applies to some of the extra weight you’ve gained as well. Throughout the year, you can see clearly how much you hold on. “Release” is your touchstone. It grows you throughout the year. It becomes your guiding force, not your harsh standard.

  Your clutter became your teacher simply because you shifted your intent towards it. This wouldn’t have happened if you’d opted only to “Get Organized.”

What word to choose?

Many people know immediately which word resonates with them. For others, a little contemplation is required.

I’ve compiled a list of possible words below. As you read through them, see if one stands out for you."

North Face Factory Outlet
written by North Face Factory Outlet, January 22, 2013
I love this North Face Factory Outlet! I have had it for over a year now! The northface outlet store is very soft and comfortable! I would wear this almost every day to and from class! Northface is not only a good source of warmth, it is also a fashion icon, being in a college town, wearing what is current in fashion is a must.http://www.tnfberkeley.net/

Hermes Replica Handbags sold in stores will have to worry about patents and copyrights. However, the internet has brought a completely new dimension to that.Other than replica handbags uk, replica items can be easily found on the internet.

You ought to actually think about engaged on developing this weblog into a major authority on this market. You evidently have a grasp handle of the matters everyone seems to be looking for on this website anyhow and you may actually even earn a buck or two off of some advertisements. I might explore following recent topics and raising the amount of write ups you put up and I guarantee you'd begin seeing some wonderful targeted visitors in the near future. Just a thought, good luck in whatever you do!zopo zp900
