I stumbled upon this wedding photographer's site today and gasped when I saw this bride. I love love LOVE her dress - actually her dress, her hair, the whole look (and the styling of the bridesmaids). Gorgeous

Freedom Behind Bars: Meditation in Prison

I came across this video last night coincidentally after our yoga instructor mentioned meditation in prisons this weekend. No one seems to really know how meditation and/or yoga works, but it does. That's why I'm taking it again - even considering a sunrise yoga class and I am not a morning person by any means. If only people picked up the habit of meditation before it gets as far as incarceration. Maybe it would help kids cope with some of the issues that lead them to a life of crime to begin with. Too bad everyone can't afford yoga classes or to see a therapist (nor health insurance for that matter). Thank God for the non-profits out there that offer yoga and TM to troubled youth. Though I'm not sure how many of those there are.

Resolutions

We're about a month into the new year. How are those resolutions coming?
Mine:
- Avoid foods with unfermented soy (haven't gotten started on that one yet since soy and soy derivatives are in everything here. Everything! Check your ingredient listings)
- Go back to yoga (class starts in February)
Anyway, for those of you who have resolutions revolving around exercise, health, fitness, etc., here's motivation for you - my 68-year-old father doing a handstand (he can to it on his elbows too). If he can do that, you can do whatever it is you have on your list.
