A sign?
I went with Keenan to get his car washed. He got the deluxe kind, because that’s the kind of guy he is (he’s also the kind of guy that actually takes his watch to the watch store to get links adjusted… totally foreign concept to me to take care of things that way… I’m learning from him), so we had to sit outside while the inside of his car was cleaned. As I was...

New York Yoga Competition... are you kidding me? →
“Yoga competition” is pretty much a conceptual oxymoron. The whole concept completely goes against what yoga is about: peace of mind and personal growth and connection to life… How disgusting that our Western World mindset has deemed this yet another thing to use for competition. I know that it’s not like this is now something that’s happening everywhere, but the fact...

Yoga
Must do.
Have not pushed myself to do it today and I can feel the difference.
Must do now.

Parenting
I’m being really creepy right now and reading an article on differences between French and American parenting and some of the things that the American mom says in the interview are just ridiculous… such as, “I didn’t know you could teach a child to wait…”. WHAT?! Why do I feel like I’m just instinctively going to be the best mother ever? Why am I even...

Deep See Yoga: The Injured Yogi...Learning to... →
deepseeyoga:
I always get slightly irritated when people talk about being “good” at yoga. I think “That’s not what it’s about! It’s so much bigger than that!”. So the Universe is taking me at my word. Yesterday while teaching my second of three classes, I noticed a pain in my upper thigh and a resistance in…

More from the Adventures of Andrea in Love...
You would think after 6 months of knowing Keenan and the few that we’ve been together that I would have already displayed all of my weirdness in its bright and shining glory for him already, right? IMPOSSIBRUUUU. I have too much weirdness for that to be possibru. While I’m close to having no new tricks up my sleeve, there are still a few humiliating moments lurking up there.
For...

The upside to feeling like shit for so long?
Every day feels like the best day of my life now.
I imagine this just gets better and better.
I highly suggest a near-death experience.

Yay!
I woke up feeling so much better today.
I’m starting to feel so much more like myself again and it’s wonderful. I missed me. The good parts, anyway.
I feel excited for life again. I feel like I’m capable of anything I end up feeling like I want to do.
This is good.

Starting is hard.
When I get really honest with myself, I have to admit that I’m drawn to everything that people tell you to stay away from. I love creative writing. I love acting. I love improv. I love dance. I don’t do ANY of these things anymore because of the things I was going through, and then I wonder why I feel so empty. I write, sure. But God knows I love me some script-reading and some...

Feel the fear; do it anyway.
I think there’s a book with that title, but the words are stuck in my head today. I’m afraid. I’m terrified. I haven’t been a real participant in this life for three whole years… the only world I was participating in was my own. But I feel it in my spirit today that it’s time to take the love that’s very obviously being cultivated inside me and use it for...

Equal parts beautiful and terrifying.
Anonymous asked: Like I said it was really well written, but just be careful becasue not all of your information is accurate. For instance our natural flora is generally not affected by exercise and can be easily whipped out by antibiotics etc, causing the digestion problems more so than a vegetarian diet change. Also the size of a brain has nothing to do with intellect. Over all though really interesting read,...

Fail and fail.
Listened to like 4 more songs on Spotify and just caught myself uncontrollably shimmying to Shakira.
I WILL NEVER SUCCEED.
ONE MORE SONG ON SPOTIFY
And then I’ll start my homework and workout.
Mannnnng.

My thoughts on veganism.
This post will not be for everyone— not everyone will agree and a lot of it is my personal take on the issue, I’m not about to write a scientific dissertation on tumblr.
However, it’s been my personal experience that veganism and vegetarianism don’t work out. The times when I have felt the best and have been the healthiest in my life have been on a balanced diet with...

Fall seven times, get up eight.
HOKAY.
Here goes the eighth time.
I have um, how do they say??— FUCKED myself the last couple of weeks with school (I always seem to do the worst when it counts the most) with how out of it I’ve been. Seriously, go ahead and ask me what happened in any of the classes I was in… NOPE DON’T KNOW! That, kids, is what happens when you get so stressed out and sick you...

I am in loveyloveloveloveeeeeeeeeeeee.
It’s taken a lot of effort on Keenan’s part to open me up. The absolute horror of my last serious relationship basically left me a crazy, messy sociopath. It’s been months and I’ve known Keenan since August and I’m just now letting him sleep over regularly. I think he leaves his pillow here so that I don’t change my mind....

More lessons in yoga.
I realized today during yoga that life is about finding what keeps you here, finding your anchor. I’ve been so busy running away from here for so long that coming back to life and reality makes me feel like I’m a child again. It’s sort of awesome and sort of scary.
You have to be your own still point. The world turns, life keeps going, people keep moving. Yoga connects you to...
