27 Things to Know About Yoga

Prompt: Appreciate. What's the one thing you have come to appreciate most in the past year? How do you express gratitude for it?

I have grown to greatly appreciate serene moments. My job primarily centers around engaging with people, text, and images and so when I enjoy my free time away from that.

 I've always enjoyed alone, quiet time (or rather, have grown to appreciate it - one of the lessons I learned while studying abroad), and have grown to really adore the stillness and joy that stems from 'disengaging' within serene moments. Sipping my favorite tea while in bed, taking a long hot shower, applying a new lipstick, surveying an organized closet - it doesn't quite matter what the moment is as much as the power of serenity that can be derived from it. I define serenity and peace as the same, and heaven knows I'm all about finding peace these days. Part of what makes these moments so special is that I actively participate in the moment by appreciating it so fully - thanking my Father above for peace and serenity when many people aren't as fortunate.

What about you? What do you appreciate most? How do you express your gratitude?

Black Friday - the quick & dirty version

This year is alllll about quality over quantity, and so I definitely have some pricey items on my Christmas gift list! Like many, my desire to be generous can sometimes cause some serious damage to my bank account, but luckily my procastinating at work lead to a glorious find - black Friday sales all week long on Amazon.com!* Looks like I'll be doing my price comparisons and shopping online [again] this year, complete with free shipping and discounts! Here's to shopping with a glass of bubbly in hand without the crowds...I'll meet you on the couch!
