A woodland in full color is awesome as a forest fire, in magnitude at least, but a single tree is like a dancing tongue of flame to warm the heart.

Sweet Time with the Sun
After a beautiful hour and a half Vinyasa Flow with one of my favorite teachers/mentors this morning, I took a shower and decided to lay out in the sun. Living in Southern California definitely has it's benefits- one of them being experiencing temperatures in the mid 70's in January. I normally stay out of the sun due to it's potentially damaging properties and the sensitivity of my skin, but today I treated myself to about 20 minutes of uninterrupted alone time with the sun. No reading, no music, no desire to "tan" even, or to get something out of the sun for my own benefit. Just lying beneath it, appreciating it's warmth, it's vitamins, and it's constant and unwavering presence in my life.
Thank you Sun for the wonderful time together :)

Namaste
I am eternal; this image will fade, but I am infinite. I am here temporarily for a reason. I will be passionate about ALL that I do.
Namaste
When spoken to another person, it is commonly accompanied by a slight bow made with hands pressed together, palms touching and fingers pointed upwards, in front of the chest. This gesture, called Abhinandan, Añjali Mudrā or Pranamasana, can also be performed wordlessly and carries the same meaning.
"I salute or recognize your presence or existence in society and the universe."

2012 Resolution
I've grown up a lot this year, but even better than that, I've grown into being comfortable with exactly who I am, as I am, right now in this moment. I'm not looking to change the past or desperately hoping for a better, or different future- I'm appreciating every moment exactly as it is. Which leads me to the only "resolution" I have for 2012- to stay present, mindful and conscious through everything this year brings... and to cherish every single moment (because the present is a gift after all... ;)
