Deep in the Heart (I mean) South of Texas!!!

Hi everyone I am back!!! I arrived to Texas ground yesterday (Saturday)safely and in one piece. My brother was impressed with my driving skills and the ability to get up and go.....when I am on a mission step aside!! I needed to get back to Texas. Remember the goat story? Which by the way, after a few more times of the critter getting out, I was labeled the goat whisperer. After that, it was time that I honed into my super spidey senses and skills. Like I said, it was twice that the goat got out after the "big capture", then the third time, I just had to go up to her, say a few magic words (I can't disclose), and she went back in her pen. I did that a few times. Now that's good!! (lol) Again don't try this at home. Not all have the gift, and I have made a point and a promise to use my powers for good and not evil!

Anyway, I made it to my mom's house and began to get situated, well as much as I could. My mom lives alone, but seriously has a ton of SHtuff. Mission time is upon me, I will tackle more today, was just to tired from traveling 20 hours to get here yesterday. Let it be known that I was really sad to leave GA...really I was! Here is the thing, I like the outdoors and the clean air, really I do. I spend quite a bit of time with the boys outdoors, it keeps me sane. I just had the issue of things to do, instead of catching goats and walking around the woods...that can take the thrill only so far (although the goat story does rock). I enjoyed eating fresh veggies and fruits, fresh eggs as my father-in-law would say "fresh off a chickens ass.", but the "things" that I enjoy were pulling me back to TX. Kelly, if you are reading this, I may have given up to early, but that's OK. I have Starbucks, a mall, facialist, pedicurist, grocery stores that I like etc...You are a brave brave and stronger person than I was to last 8 weeks...you are my GA conquering hero! I like things way tooooooo much!!

So now that I am here, I will get situated, the boys will have some swimming lessons, school begins Aug 11, I will work on my Anusara Yoga Inspired status by the time I leave for the island, and I will taking a writers course. I have found that I enjoy these musings, and about 2 years ago I submitted this writing test, and low and behold, I was accepted. I had not done anything because I was taking my yoga teacher training, my anusara immersion, teaching public classes, taking care of two boys, juggling the grad school schedule with Jason so on and so on.....but now, I will have so much time to myself! The boys are starting school full time 8:30-3:30, and I am hoping to find a part time teaching job, and study and write. I am excited about it!!

So turning a new chapter in my life, perhaps I will get as good as you Christina, and write a book. For those of you who don't know my teacher Christina Sell, has a book out "Yoga from the inside out". An inspiring and insightful book that really hits home with self-love and self-image which now a days most women in society have issues with. Here comes a tangent: I have to tell you, after reading that book, reflecting and practicing yoga I have come to terms with who I am, the way I look, and my life in general. I can't tell you how I struggled with these things, and don't get me wrong I still do at times, but I am such a different person now, and know how to deal with it better. For that I am much happier and nicer person, and so is my family. Society paints this picture of what we, women, should look like, or what size we should be etc. This book really sheds a new light o things, you should read it if you need some inspiration or if you just want to. I started off because I just wanted to, and I am soooooooooooo glad I did!!! OK, done with that!! Small commercial for my teach! You can order her book from her I think?? Christina let me know if there is an easier way? I have her blog here and her website in my links, and if you are interested and still have problems contacting her let me know and I can hook you up! I have connections!! hehe

I seriously have so many stories to share with you some that I even laugh at during my month stay, but ohhh so much to say and so little time right now....but I do have my computer full time now. Jason and I were talking, well more like me complaining and him just listening, discussing and recapping this and that, and the Internet thing came up. Here I was complaining (see here it is again- I need to work on that) about his parents not have access for me and saying in my blog "seriously who doesn't have Internet", so I think that I am going to invest in a laptop or notebook with wireless Internet so I have it always! I have just found that I need more that I thought, and with my writing course and such, I will need it. I have a computer for now, so I am good, but definitely before we leave for the islands. Another problem solved.
More to come folks, and I have not forgotten about my pound cake story. I can blog daily or so now that I have access.

****Shout out to my Dell peeps! Thanks for tuning in!! I miss Y'all (I can say that now that I am back in TX)
