"Can't speak, struck dumb, inspiration won't come".....that's how I've been feeling for a while now, hence the sporadic posts of the past six months. I'm in transition and with that comes a lot of introspection and re-calibration, so I just keep taking the high road and being good to myself......
fark let's hope it pays off!
Luckily I know from prior experience all the emotions line up eventually. As I look at this picture of myself, I know I'm getting there as I see the twinkle of my new and improved vibrant self and I don't mind telling you.... I've missed me!
Now that's a cracking good downward dog.
I'm happy to report that my spiritual/mental/physical/emotional practice is not just in the yoga studio, but also on the water. My turbulent windsurfing journey thus far has given way to me and my gear consistently blowing and flowing. Don't get me wrong, I'm still a mediocre sailor, but I'm really enjoying my emotional shift which is now enthusiastic, willing and curious .....oh and the tea really helps!
Let me explain the tea bit.....this thermos is my new best friend. I am a woman with cold extremities, ridiculous in this hot climate I know, but there it is. This predisposes me to not like getting colder, but back in September Mel introduced me to the luxury of
pre and post session tea. Ladies and gentlemen this has been nothing short of life changing! I take a quick nip before dawn patrol to brace myself and on the water I always know when it's time to come in as my mind turns to what's waiting....a piping hot cup of divine
chai green.
Collective groan (
ribbit).
And let me leave you with the latest edition to the back of my truck. With thanks to my mate Jules for the inspiration..... pass the salt and vinegar would ya?

That's a lovely, positive post - well done you for recognising a problem and dealing with it.
This is perfect for a New Year blog - may you be more plentifully articulate in 2012.
Happy, healthy New Year to us all.
I meant to comment, I love the frog parking sign - it appeals to my sense of humour!
I also love my verification word "equipsu" - it sounds a bit like what's his face whose catch phrase was "suits you sir". Perhaps you've been in the USA too long to know what your Ma's rambling about?
Feel good post of the year, so far Shazza!
My fave Maui bumper sticker was 'Dog is my co pilot'
Awwww, fanks for the encouragement :-)
