It's Summer Already!

Where does my time go? Anyway, I finished my globe and I’m so glad it’s done. It took a whole month to do. I didn’t even go to CSL (“church”) for nearly a whole month. Then I took a break from art. Now I’m contemplating what direction I want my life to take. I’m becoming less interested in nutrition and more interested in well—I don’t know what. Its’ “What Color is My Parachute?” time. Where should I put my focus? On my art, maybe study wax encaustic or take a ceramic sculpture class? Become a chef? A nutritionist? Take a screenplay class? Study Thai Yoga Massage? I just don’t know. All I know is that I have been enjoying my downtime and meeting some great people. At least that part of my life is going really well.

Right now I have a new obsession: Bikram Yoga. My friend Edie recommended it and now I’m hooked. I never thought I would get into hot yoga. During my first class I just wanted to die. It was Memorial Day and I thought why not celebrate with Bikram. Ha! Of course my internal organs were burning probably because I drank so much wine that weekend. I've been going for three weeks now, about 4 x a week. I’m contemplating doing the 60-day challenge, meaning taking the 90 min. yoga class everyday for 60 days. It’s really getting me in better shape. I feel like my organs are much cleaner. Now of course to figure out the balance: do I continue with pilates, a little weight training too? I don’t love cardio (except for bootcamp or Kickboxing) so this is really great for me to get in the cardio plus heal my body. I’m really curious what this practice will bring to me. I’m getting so much more flexible with each and every class. It just gets easier and easer. I don’t know if I want to start a 60-day challenge in the summer. I may wait till fall. Then again embarking on this program might be the perfect thing to do while I have no idea where else to put my focus.
