Last Day (of work) before my First Day (of challenge)


Cranberries- bittersweet.












Have you ever had one of those moments where you feel like, "Wow, THIS is life." A moment where everything feels BIG, and anything seems possible. It's a quick window of clarity where you feel invigorated, and assured that even if you are on the WRONG path you are heading in the RIGHT direction.

My typical triggers are: traveling internationally, leaving a job, moving to a totally different state, driving someplace really really far away...

And for whatever reason (I secretly blame it on MTV and their well placed music at the end of every Real World season)...nothing captures this feeling better than the Cranberries (click the link below for a little visit with 1993):

DREAMS


Today marks one of those "real life," Cranberries kind of day, and as I drove into work this morning, just GUESS what came on the radio...yup...you guessed it (and if you didn't, you clearly haven't been reading closely, so start from the top).

Nothing could be more fitting.

As I spend my final hours at the wonderful job I have called home for the last 3.5 years, I sit back, stare at the boxes of "stuff," and get just a little bit excited...

Tomorrow everything BEGINS!



Oh my life is changing everyday
Every possible way
Though my dreams, it’s never quite as it seems
Never quite as it seems

I want more, impossible to ignore
Impossible to ignore
They’ll come true, impossible not to do
Impossible not to do

-The Cranberries

The countdown is on...


This Wonder Woman is READY for the Hot Room!

Welcome to my FIRST 30 Day Bikram Yoga Challenge. Some of you may have followed me through the ups and downs of "20 Days," and now I'm back, and more ready than ever to relax my mind and open my heart! Thank you for following, and inspiring me to stay honest and committed. Let the journey begin.

30 Days officially begins on September 1, so until then I will be:



-Managing my last CHaD Half Marathon
-Leaving my job at CHaD (effective August 31)
-Finding a NEW home to live in (Our rental house was sold, GRRRRR!)
-Getting ready for my FIRST day at my new job

Yoga is JUST what the doctor ordered for this BUSY lady!
