From the last week of January 2012
Drawings have been flowing...
Different perspectives came along...
Foggy mirrors came along on my path...
Many things that were once feeling grounded to the Earth were dug up...
Cats are amazing animals...

Passion 2012
In the last few years I have set out to find a word...an intention for that year. I do this by coming up with a word that creates so much joy within myself that I can hardly contain myself. This year has taken some time to come up with this word...but today it came to me after doing a 70 minute Yin Yoga set in my studio at home...there is no doubt in my mind that this is the year of PASSION..TO BE PASSIONATE.
I do realize that this is a very strong emotion..a very intense emotion indeed. But there is no doubt in my mind that 2012 will be a very strong year for me...I have some very strong goals that I wish to accomplish in 2012 and it will take a lot of passion to get me to where I wish to be.

Workout 2012....
The days are cold here in Japan...the food is delicious and the holidays brought on loads of good food and drinks..and some extra weight just for fun.
So I am not going to go on here about how I am going to lose weight in 2012 ..blah blah blah..cuz this is where most peoples minds are at the moment...we ALL probably ate more than we should have or at least most of us.
What I will share with you is that I am a hooper..no not basketball hoops..a hula hooper and I like to hoop for about 15 minutes a day in my living room..I also like to wake up and do about 20 minutes of yoga. A nice brisk walk on a sunny day is nice too..Plus this is all very cheap. I do yoga online with www.myyogaonline.com this helps me a lot since yoga classes tend to be pretty expensive in Japan and usually not in my own language in my city. I do join hoop events in Tokyo when I can ..and in fact I am having a free hoop jam in Yoyogi Park in Tokyo this weekend for my birthday..come join us...there is craft beer involved to follow ;)
On January 8th I will be celebrating another year around the sun...the last year of my 30's..this is quite a big deal really..Saying bye to my 20's was not much of a big deal but with having one more year in my 30's left ..knowing in 2013 I will be 40 years old! wow! wow! I do not feel old at all actually..I have been thinking of having a 2nd kid ..I do not look old..my body is healthy and looking decent for my age. But with turning 39 yrs old this year I am taking things to a new level or should I say just looking at life with a new perspective. My eating habits..my "workout" plan or not plan...and I do believe this will bring great changes into my life.
One thing I am sure NOT to do is put too many expectations onto myself..if my body changes because I changed some ways in my life..rock on! if my body does not change but I feel really good..than rock on! right! It is not about being thin..it is all about being healthy..feeling good and finding that happy place.
Wanna learn more about hooping..go here
Wanna hoop to some good music..go here

Japan 2012
Hey hi how are you? everyone doing well after the New Years festivities?
I am great! well hey will not lie just to be cool..January 1st was a bit rough around the edges and soft in the middle but we are all good now. After a 7.0 earthquake threw some things off some of our shelves I went outside and sat by where I buried my 16 year old cat Shaft. We had a little chat. I told him "ya know Shaft you probably can see a lot more than I can now, so can ya have a little chat with mama Earth and tell her to take it easy on us this year?" I think he got it..and gave mama Earth the message for me. My emotions remained strong through the day and I really had to sit and clear my mind and heart often. I got through it without any emotional breakdowns..well okay lie..I did cry after feeling completely lost in translation at a family gathering but I got through it and went off to bed.
This year I am not going be shy..I am not going to be afraid of my body that HAS changed a lot since I gave birth..I am going to work on this body temple of mine to keep it healthy.. what I have now I will love and cherish.
I like monkeys and I saw about 20 of them right before the year turned. As I look up things on the internet to find information about Monkey totems...I find many answers..but to me a monkey is creative, fast, curious, focused, aware and playful. And we all know the famous sayings See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil. Do not judge or speak rumors because what we see may not be how things truly are..this is a very good lesson indeed. Open up that sixth sense shall we...
We have a great friend that brings us homemade buckwheat noodles (soba) every new years eve.. simply the very best!
And I make them in a soy sauce based soup with inari which is a slightly sweet layer of tofu. This is one of my most favorite meals in Japan.
I decided since I had a bit of a rough start on January 1st that January 2nd was going to be spent in my pajamas and in bed all day. I was full of creativity, good chats, good food and all around a successful day.
I also finished a drawing I started last year.
I will now get on with my day and go for a long walk..I am turning 39 years old this coming Sunday January 8th. I am planning a big weekend in Tokyo..full of classes and meeting new and old friends. I wish I had more time in Tokyo so I could do more...but I will do what I can during the time given. I hope you are all having a great flow into the new year. Blessings.
