I do not claim to be a master yogi, not even that flexible, but I do enjoy it and definitely want to incorporate more into my life – at least two classes a week. Just came back from a Vinyasa class at my gym and really feel the energy flowing within me. So impressed with everyone doing headstands – that will be my goal… one day folks…

Last night I spent my evening listening to a powerful lecture by Gabrielle Bernstein at ABC Carpet & Home, so damn inspirational!!! She spoke on many subjects, but the one that caught my attention was letting go. Releasing the thoughts, pains, anxiety, stress – everything that we hold within… And replacing it with kindness and love. She gave out her new book and I strongly recommend that you read it or check out her vblogs online.

Had lunch with one of my favorite people today, Kris Schoels, founder of YoungMarriedChic.com – she’s an amazing chef, so check out her blog, and her weekly cooking segments on FOX. Not too many vegan recipes, but def a lot of yummy ones.

Sorry for the blurry pics, forgot my camera today. Night ya’ll!

Could you use a pick-me-up snack right now? Try the various nut and dried fruit mixes from Drivine Organics. 

Picked up a few things from the line at the NewLifeExpo last month. 

A Gift of Love: Music Inspired by the Love Poems by Rumi is a CD collection of today’s celebrities – such as Madonna, Demi Moore, Goldie Hawn, Laura Day, etc. – and spiritual guiders reading beautiful love poems accomanpied by beats of Indiana. Great to listen to in the evening. I turn it on after a long day at work and light my apartment with candles – so relaxing…

Do you ignore the signs that the universe is trying to show you? Everyone receives them in different ways, for me it’s the number 11. It’s everywhere!! I see 11:11 on the clock on a daily basis, on signs, TV,  etc. I used to think it was a coincidence, but now I take the time to honor the universal guidance around me.

Think about it… is there something in your life that constinously comes back? Here is a great article if you want to read more about it…

Laughed when I looked down at my juice today… 11.11.11.

My boyfriend’s sister Marie and mom Agneta sent us these mouthwatering photos of their all-you-can-eat-mango madness fiesta in the Philippines.

They sure are getting their dose of Vitamin C, A, E, & K, as well as plenty of fiber and potassium.

Hmm wonder where my next vacation will be?

Picked up a juice from Organic Avenue this afternoon and enjoyed it in a nearby park… Autumn is definitely here, and it’s gorgeous.
