Sandy is such a wonderful and inspirational person. I am very grateful to have connected with her. Yes! What you said - good question: And why do we always embrace our failures at the expense of denying our successes? I am wondering if this has to do with our survival instinct. If it does, that means the human inclination to focus on failures is actually a "good" thing with the intention of keeping us safe. So ... maybe if we remind ourselves, "I am safe. I am safe." we will be able to celebrate our successes with more abandon. ;-) Hi Tim,

I have vascillated between cynicism and faith, despair and hope, prayer and curse most of my life". And why do we always embrace our failures at the expense of denying our successes? I clicked on to you from "The Dreaming Cafe"--I met Sandy at a workshop in Dodge City, KS...a wonderful woman! I look forward to reading more of your posts. And I LOVE "Second Hand Lions!!!"

Everything is possible, our only limitation are our minds. :-) Whether on stage or in real life, we have a role to play and we should do our best with the character we portray.

I am truly enjoying the time we are spending together, Kirsten. I love working out with you, showing you some of the technique I've picked up. Sharing dreams, visions, ideas, secrets, psychic blocks. This is truly the beginning of a beautiful friendship! This made me cry in the happy way.

I can't wait to join you for some lunchtime yoga. Thanks so much for the offer. <blockquote>I have to say that yoga has been the best tool for body-image improvement that I’ve ever experienced. (And bellydance is super-fun too!)</blockquote> (I'm trying to insert a little html here to quote your statement above. It may or may not work. :) Yes! I agree yoga is a great tool for body-image improvement. It's amazing how much better I feel when I make an effort to take care of myself by moving in any way - bellydance/yoga/pilates/etc. Yoga can also be a very compassionate practice and a little of that goes a long way to feeling good. I checked out Yogaglo - that's a great resource. I work out with dvd's but I get bored repeating the same class with the same dialogue all the time. I tend to memorize them quickly too and then I let myself space out. :) I would love to hear more about your journey with yoga and how your teaching is going. Maybe I could interview you for the blog. Would you be game for that? I'll talk to you soon - and, again, thanks for dropping by. Hi Rebecca, Thanks for stopping by here.

I do a little yoga up in my office over the noon hour every day (we close our office 12-1). You're welcome to come up and join me! (I have extra mats!) I have to say that yoga has been the best tool for body-image improvement that I've ever experienced. (And bellydance is super-fun too!) I just started subscribing to Yogaglo.com, an online service that costs $18/mo for unlimited streaming yoga classes anywhere you have internet. You get a 15 day free trial too. Sometimes it's hard to fit a studio class into a busy schedule! Hey Kirsten! I do a little yoga up in my office over the noon hour every day (we close our office 12-1).
