Current Articles

How's your week been?
I had a sitting on the floor, listening to lots of Cardinals baseball, learning lots about my newish role at work, perfect long run this morning with overcast skies (although a bit windy-oh yeah and i got splashed by a wave, quite wet for the last mile), eating delicious farmers market fresh tomatoes!, lunch time walks, trying a new to me juice joint, recovering my forgotten credit card, and some soul searching type week.  

Today I'm switching this up to share some articles that caught my eye in the past week:

*Confused about what's going on in Syria?  Here are some excellent articles to break it down:
-9 questions about Syria you were too embarrassed to ask-Washington Post
-Two Minds on Syria - The New Yorker
-Of course Jon Stewart gave an excellent break-down, as well.  
Think about it.

*Along side that:
-The Outsiders:  How Can Millennials Change Washington If They Hate It? - The Atlantic
You may or may not agree, but it's an interesting read nonetheless. 

*On a lighter note... it's national yoga month, yo.
-Yoga is so evolving.  I love it.  It's something I can work and work and work at and then finally it will click.  One of my friends went to class with me last Friday & out of everything was apparently super impressed with my headstand.  As soon as she told me that I said, "Do you know how many times I crashed to the ground trying?"  Sooo many times.  Finally it clicked.  But I worked hard!
-If We're Judging The Teacher, Are We Practicing Yoga? - Zen Yoga Garage  I know I've been guilty of this so I love the article even more as it gives me something to think about.
-I follow fitqueenirene on instagram and I love her inspiration.  One day this week she said:  Do not focus on what you do not have, instead remember that the things you have now are what you once longed for.
-I found her because my instructor showed me this video in class after my backbend.  I said, "I want to look like that."  She said, "You pretty much do.  You just have to keep your chest out.

*Chicago Beer is strong right now!

*This Make Way For People campaign sounds pretty rad.

*Adorable and hilarious letter from a mother to her daughter - originally on The Times

*One of my friends from Mexico posted this video.  Oh how I love mariachi bands and the guy singing on the far right with the sweater vest (not in costume) is the Padre who treated us so well!  (Hopefully you can see it...)

*And to round it up... this blog post about OK Cupid is pretty hilarious.

Kitchen Safety

We moved!  We're in our new place and we just got wifi.  Wahoo! I definitely broke in the kitchen quickly.  I was making a panini type sandwich for a potluck get together so I preheated the oven.  The next thing I knew the fire alarm was going off.  Let me tell you they did not skimp on a very loud fire alarm.  Ahhhhhhhh I opened the oven, which I know you're not supposed to do.  In the moment, I think I needed to see what I was dealing with.  There were definite flames.  Ahhhhhhhh So I called Mike while trying to google what to do.  He was super calm the entire call while I freaked out (it probably helped that he couldn't see the smoke billowing out of the oven).   He said to throw baking soda on it.  I did.  It seemed to fizzle but came back. I searched the apartment for a fire extinguisher (maybe I should have looked for one before this moment). This is while I kept trying to silence the fire alarm (to no avail) and open windows to let out smoke. Then Mike
I have a few things to update on today =) Oh I just finished the best meal I've had since I arrived and it was oh sooooo good! I'm so full and happy right now! It was a mexican meal so at least i know i'm going to the right country. yesterday Tere asked me to lead a little yoga class. automatically i said yes because that's how i am, but on the walk from the classroom to outside i started to get nervous. the only person i ever lead in yoga was karen & she laughed the majority of the time (it doesn't really count). i just took deep breaths and i did it. it actually was great. once we started i was able to integrate some favorite posses of the people in the class it was great towards the end when marcelle (who is rather soft spoken, but i love her) lead a few poses as well. i was actually happy with myself. namaste i love our group. everyone is similar that we all have this interest to do missionary work, but we are all very unique and different at the s

Spring!

Yes, I know it is not spring yet.   Today's the meteorological beginning of spring or something, isn't it? I definitely suffered some winter blues last month (yeah, it's March!). Check out these tulip fields for your Friday! Normann Szkop  took awesome photos while flying over Dutch  tulip fields . ( via ) p.s. Two days later I'm still feeling amazing after my juice cleanse .  Yes, it's possible that's not what it's from, but considering nothing else has really changed (except starting a new month, which I am so excited about), it's getting the credit. HAPPY FRIDAY & HAPPY MARCH!
