Today

A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself. - Joseph Campbell
Sleep & Rest: About 8.5 hours or a little less.
Yoga Practice: I'm going to do some spinal breathing before bed.
Sun & Air: Lunch outdoors.
Sweat & Fun: 15 minutes running stairs & 45 minutes run/walk combo outdoors.
Fruity Meals: Bag of mixed fresh figs / Lots of little blonde grapes (champagne grapes?, not sure what type) / Raw tomato stew with chopped avocado on nappa cabbage leaves / Raw tomato stew with chopped fennel & red cabbage
Creative Work: Got good work done today. A little of everything. Things are moving forward! yay!
Give - Share: Shared my thoughts & opinions with my nephew, shared great news with my sister, & shared my artwork with someone I just met.
Incorporeal Bliss: I was hearing this beautiful chime sound as I walked today. I was so eager to find the source. I kept walking & walking and the sound never stood still anywhere. I kept thinking that I would eventually pass the house that had the wind chime. I would see the the chime blowing in the wind & leave the sound behind me as I walked away. But the house never revealed itself. I eventually discovered that the chime was really a few small bells attached to an "icee" cart. The icee vendor was rolling their cart a block in front of me. I had no idea it was them until I eventually passed them. The mysterious sound was fun to be around. Fun while it lasted.

Day 104 of 108

Sleep: 8 hrs? Not sure.
Sunshine: Lots of sun today. I spent several hours outside.
Love: I love my brother. :) So happy to have him in my life.
Joy: I did my kriyas & mediation sessions, plus a 2 hour kundalini class. By far my best class ever. It was fantastic!
Gratitude: Grateful I had food (fruit) waiting at home for me after kundalini class.
Bliss: The feeling I had during some of the kriyas in class were so good. Like a lightness, a bliss, a centeredness, a peace, …felt like I was being "carried" a few times. I would just surrender to the exercise, but be fully engaged & aware. Momentum, focus & rhythm definitely help with endurance. When something got hard, or difficult, I would just tune-in & tune-out at the same time. I found myself "being moved", vs. me trying to move myself. Life is the same for me. If I push to make things happen, they never feel right. If I completely "let go" & humbly participate with full awareness, they always turn out great & feel great at the same time.
Juicy-lusciousness: Champagne mangoes / Frozen cantaloupe smoothie / Banana-dandelion green smoothie / Plain Mugwort leaves & avocado eaten by hand piece by piece
