Practicing Yoga during this financial crisis

Are you finding it hard to spend money these days due to your job situation or worry about your financial future? What are your priorities when you decide to spend money at a time like this? For me, as a yoga instructor and a daily practitioner, I really can't imagine doing away with my YOGA. It is what keeps me sane and relaxed in the middle of all this chaos. I also know that there aren't too many things out there that cost $15 or less, that will give me an hour of sanity. If I can take a one-hour yoga class for only $15 or less when I buy a frequent class pass, I think it is well worth it. Everyone needs to take care of themselves, especially during these stressful times. As I have always said and experienced, there isn't a lot out there that will give you physical, mental, and emotional benefits like yoga does. Remember, it is more than a physical practice. It is a LIFESTYLE.

When I think of the things I find to be a priority no matter what, they are eating healthy and exercising. These are the things that will keep you going not just for yourself but for your family. When you are happy and in harmony, your family can be too.

TehKu - Tea Company

This afternoon, I had the most wonderful time meeting a friend for lunch and tea at TehKu in Dublin, Ohio. My friend, Katie, had been talking to me about this quaint tea location, and we finally had the chance to go together. We shared a pot of Sunset Chai, and it was delicious and soothing. Our lunch consisted of a potato and mushroom soup made with tea broth and a grilled cheese sandwich. What an idea. It was yummy!

I highly recommend you visit TehKu Tea Company located at 55 South High Street in Dublin, Ohio. Their website is www.TehKu.com

Enjoy! They have all their tea choices on the counter for you to smell before ordering. The service was great! Congrats to Inggrie and Jon-Michael for opening up such a wonderful place. I am already looking forward to my next visit.

Happy Valentine's Day

For all of my blog readers, I want to wish you a Happy Valentine's Day. I hope you have something special planned this weekend, whether it is with your spouse, significant other, friends, family, or a combination of all.

I am looking forward to my "surprise" date with my husband of 11 1/2 years. This will be the 17th Valentine's Day we celebrate together since we started dating in 1991 and married in 1997. Wow!!! That is a long time.

Doug, thank you for making every Valentine's Day so special. I love you!!!
