Moving on.

I have decided that 11/19/11 will be my last time teaching TYC26 at The Yoga Center. I will offer private Bikram yoga classes by appointment until there is an affiliated studio here. I also have a desire to design a kid friendly class that I can teach at any studio at any time with my son accompanying me. Wouldn't that be a fun class!

Tina Pottery

I built my first website tonight! This is the first live draft. I still have to add a lot more items for sale. Go to tinapottery.weebly.com and let me know what you think.

new links

I am now teaching Bikram yoga at The Yoga Center of Indiana. There is a link on the right to their website. Once you get there, click on Schedules to see the time and location of my class.

I am also working more on building my travel business. Please check out my booking engine at Wanderlust Travel Club (link at right) the next time you need airfare, rental car, hotel, or vacation.

I have made a bunch of functional pottery this year and will soon build a website to sell it. That link will be added to the right as well.

It's live!

I have started a new venture. Still learning but on my way...

37 hours of driving!

On January 4th I decided to relax and allow the Universe to give me all that I want so I packed and packed and packed for a long winter trip without having confirmed accommodations. The next day I drove 10 hours to NW Arkansas to see my dear friend Cris (http://www.artbycrixie.blogspot.com/). We haven't seen each other in over seven years. It was great to see her again. I feel so comfortable around her. I think more so now than when we were younger. Maybe it is all the changes in our lives, including maturing, that has made us better friends. It was cool to meet her daughter and introduce her to my son. Those two played all day and night. On Friday the 8th I drove another 13 hours to just south of Atlanta where I rested for 5 hours. I had to start the car every hour or two because the temperature was only in the teens. When I awoke at 6am I got back on the road and drove and drove 14 hours to the Florida Keys. I spent the night at a proposed domestic work-exchange arrangement but remembered very quickly that I must have my own place. In the morning I drove to the RV/trailer resort we stayed at last year and within 20 minutes they had found a place for us! I'm thrilled to be in a gated community with a pool and wifi. Thank you Universe!

Information overload

I love reading, learning, investigating my interests, and searching the internet with phrases that just come to mind. With all of that, I have subscribed to many, many ezines, newsletters, and occassional updates. I have thousands, yes, thousands of unread emails in two accounts. I want to read all of them but don't want to take the time to do it. Once in a while I hunker down and say now is them time I am going to organize my inbox and delete all the old stuff that is just weighing me down. But instead I get wrapped up in worrying I am deleting something I might learn something from. To give myself some credit, I have tried to convince myself that if I found it once, I can find it again. So here is my public announcement of my new intent: I am to read less and to get up and DO something more often! Live, Play, Laugh, Sing, Dance, Giggle, Smell, Taste, Touch, Listen, Look. What a joy this physical experience is!

little by little

Little by little I make improvements on this blog as well as in my life. Getting better and better and better all the time!

not much of a blogger...

64 degrees is chilly here.

We got the cold Canadian wind too. No beach today. Took a couple of walks. Had a nice long afternoon nap to help recover from working on-call last night.

Sunburned

Today we spent three to four hours at the beach, Bahia Honda. Even though it was cloudy part of the time, I got too much sun. I expected the rain to come sooner and didn't take care of my skin. Thankfully, Sebastian still got slathered with sunscreen and had a shirt on.

Finally...

I finally made a blog! I am not much of a writer but I have lots of interests and knowledge that I would love to share with everyone who is attracting this information. Your comments and emails are encouraged. I'm sure I'll improve with practice. Thank you for reading.
