Why not try something new?! On New Years! This New Years day is 01.01.11. and Dr. Anuradha Choudry is spearheading a project called Ekataa.
Merry Christmas my lovely sweet friends and family! We hope you are all cuddled up next to the tree with happy thoughts in your heart! Have a wonderful holiday and we will see you back here soon! 
'Twas the Night Before Christmas
by Clement Clarke Moore
'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
in hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there.
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
while visions of sugar plums danced in their heads.
And Mama in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap,
had just settled our brains for a long winter's nap.
When out on the roof there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
tore open the shutter, and threw up the sash.
The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow
gave the lustre of midday to objects below,
when, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
but a miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer.
With a little old driver, so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.
More rapid than eagles, his coursers they came,
and he whistled and shouted and called them by name:
"Now Dasher! Now Dancer!
Now, Prancer and Vixen!
On, Comet! On, Cupid!
On, Donner and Blitzen!
To the top of the porch!
To the top of the wall!
Now dash away! Dash away!
Dash away all!"
As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,
when they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky
so up to the house-top the coursers they flew,
with the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too.
And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof
the prancing and pawing of each little hoof.
As I drew in my head and was turning around,
down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound.
He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,
and his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot.
A bundle of toys he had flung on his back,
and he looked like a peddler just opening his pack.
His eyes--how they twinkled! His dimples, how merry!
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
and the beard on his chin was as white as the snow.
The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,
and the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath.
He had a broad face and a little round belly,
that shook when he laughed, like a bowl full of jelly.
He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,
and I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself.
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head
soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread.
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
and filled all the stockings, then turned with a jerk.
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
and giving a nod, up the chimney he rose.
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim, 'ere he drove out of sight,
"Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!"
We are on our way to Metz for Christmas with Vince's family! We are so excited we hardly slept last night tossing and turning thinking about seeing his little niece and nephew! Christmas Eve is the most important day of the holidays for Frenchies, it's when the big family dinner and opening presents happens and we can wait to get there just in time! I hope you and your family and friends have a wonderful cozy Christmas with loves of hugs and kisses and cookies!
Love and Hugs
Oh my gosh Oh my gosh! Christmas is almost here! Can you feel the excitement in the air?! All those little kiddies and their wishes! I can't wait too! 31 years old and still counting down the sleeps till Christmas morning! Never gets old! See you soon Santa!
Yoyo! It's true! I know you are doing it. (I'm doing it) You are probably doing it right now and not even noticing it. Stop it. Say something nice to yourself. Look in the mirror and be nice for once. Geeze! :)
Life goes on within you and without you!
One legged Pigeon pose or Eka Pada Rajakapotasana. This pose stimulates all your major organs and scared the crap out of me the first time I did it! I thought there was no way my leg would do that and I would surely break it! But no! Just a wonderful intense stretch!
The Plow pose or Halasana (It's meant to be held for up to 5 mins!) and will help you with:
Warrior III pose or Virabhadrasana III improves your balance and posture (I used the wall behind me to balance myself.) I was sweating after holding this one for so long!
Eagle pose or Garudasana is really hard! I tried it out for the first time today and just managed to do the upper body part. It helps relieve:
Extended Triangle pose or Utthita Trikonasana feels soooo good on your torso! And it helps with:
Tree pose or Vrksasana is so hard! It's part of our balancing series and requires intense concentration. It is also used to relieve sciatica.
Goodmorning guys! I wanted to share with you our new second home in Buenos Aires! Check it out! Do you love it as much as I do? I found it at Mixr thanks to Erin at Design for Mankind.
