stinky yoga. yummy recipes.
A) last night i went to my first "detox yoga" class.
you might know it as bikrahm or hot yoga.
I call it stinky yoga.
why?
well, 10 people in a 12x12 room set to 80 degrees
equals stinky!
but oh so good for the mind and body!
B) a few weeks ago i asked my friend rachael if i could make dinner sometimes for her family.
why?
because she is 8 months pregnant
with a 3 year old
works full time
has a husband that works full time
and he is also in school.
yeah, i am thinking they need a meal or two thrown their way.
the beautiful thing is she said YES!
she even requested certain dates that she knew she would be extra in need of the help.
i love that!
i mean, i wouldn't have asked if i didn't want to do it.
but so few people ever take me up on those kinds of offers
i appreciated the vulnerability it took rachael to accept my help.
and now for the yummy food:

Hot Yoga has never sounded very appealing to me because I really hate being hot. I get grumpy.
ahhh, that was sweet of you! community needs generosity and volunerability, right?
Cara, your LO from the May paper kit looks great! I am always surprised, although I shouldn't be, at how there are so many ways to use just a few supplies and come up with something well-composed. Thanks for sharing it. I'll put it up in our Gallery this weekend.
