Bikram Yoga

Bikram Yoga is a system of yoga that Bikram Choudhury synthesized from traditional yoga techniques and popularized beginning in the early 1970s. Bikram's classes run exactly 90 minutes and consist of a set series of 26 postures and 2 breathing exercises. Bikram Yoga is ideally practiced in a room heated to 105°F with a humidity of 40%, and is the most popular form of hot yoga.

I did a couple class's when i lived in California. I thought people were EXAGGERATING when they say you Sweat SOO much. No they were dead on. You are fully drenched after that class. You feel Great tho. I love love love Bikram!

Closed one Chapter. Embracing the New Chapter.

Family, Friends, Co-workers, whoever is reading and following this blog. Thank you! From here on out i am going to try my best to blog alot more frequently! So we aren't all going 2 or 3 or 4 months with no info. The challenge is on!
As for the update. I ended my 8 months in California 2 weeks ago. I stayed focused and made every last moment count until the hour, minute of driving for the closing of my chapter down Mission Drive in Solvang. With every emotion flowing in and out of me i did it. I was blessed with the best work team that will forever have my heart. They taught me, they took me in, they loved me. Bittersweet!!

One thing i learned on top of everything else is, people come into our life's for a reason. Why, how, what, when?? To me none of that matters. I made one of the best friendships with a girl named Robin Laroche. I don't really know how we became friends, or even why. What i do know is that i wouldn't trade our friendship for anything. Robin is the best person, she makes me want to be better! She has a journey within her soul that literally shines from her. We did many things together before the big "see you later" time came. Went camping 3 nights at Lake Cachuma, Kayaking every morning, running/training, dinners, movies, desserts. We had our good times! Spent alot of time with her Family. With pop making the best dinners Ever! I was so thankful for her family. Probably more than they all realize. (: I love Robin. We have talked as much as we can since I've left and we've got some journeys to accomplish in the near future, that we CANT wait to do!! XOXOXO to you Robin!!

As for now i made the move to Key West Florida where i will be spending my summer! I have been here for 2 days and im learning to really enjoy it! Journey here in Key West will be blogged about. I will make it happen!!

Its a "See you later"

Down to less than a month, 20 days to be exact. My everything here in California is coming to an end, an end for now. I will ALWAYS remember California and look back with a Smile on my face! It has been the Best decision Ive ever made. The valley is Beautiful, the water/beach's are amazing, and the things to do and people i met that are now my family are unforgettable! I could go on and on about my feelings and emotions right now, but its not the end yet, right?! So i wont, not yet. :]
As my Chapter closes in CA i will be starting a new one in Key West Florida, where i will be spending my summer! Yes Key West, pure summer heaven eh? I'm Pretty excited. I will flying out to Key West the very end of May. Swim Suit, shorts, and tanks seems to be the only thing ill need!
Until then, i am up at 6:00 a.m. every morning enjoying every inch of this journey! Running to Los Olivos or Kayaking Lake Cachuma, with my friend Robin! We get a drink at the best Coffee Shop in Town and start one of our many Jonts for the a.m, work, and then go out at night! I am going to miss seeing her ALL the time. We definitely meet people for a reason. Busy schedule the next 3 weeks, its going to go by far to fast, but i am going to make the best of it! XOXO -T

Race in O.C. California!

I have been training to run a couple races before my time comes to a close here in California. I am up to 4 miles each morning. Gahh running can be soo much fun, yet it can kick your butt! My friend and I have been training together, which is way nice! Anyway, we have a 10k coming up in the middle of May, so i decided to do a half way race. I ran the Costa Mesa Community 5K, and got a 31:31. (: It was a great race! Cant wait untill the 10K.. train, train, train!! :]

My Grandparents were running a booth at the race. P.S. My grandpa ran track and coached track for a very long time. I asked him what his best time was for a 5K and he said 19:21... Mmmhmm he was a stud! :]

how. can. i. make. a. better. change.

I close my eyes and Pray. What a sad sad destruction that happened to Japan, to the people, to the community, to the homes. Its all over the T.V., its all over the Paper, people are talking. How can i make a change? I close my eyes and see a better day. Some people don't understand what happened to Japan is serious. What if that was you, or myself? People are crying, people are dieing. You and I make a better day. Lets start giving. The choice starts with in you, and your heart.

BiRtHdAy WeEk

Yes BiRtHdAy WeEk! My dear mother came to visit for the week and to spend my Birthday with me, we did and accomplished so many things! We traveled up the coast for 2 days. We left Tuesday after work up to Moro Bay, had dinner and the best Fish and Chips at Splash in Pismo Beach. Stayed the night in Moro Bay. Started Wednesday off with Hearst Castle in the pouring rain, and I'm not exaggerating. Mind you it rained the whole road trip morning till night! Most rain California has recieved in a very long time. Hearst Castle was Amazing! We could not believe how beautiful it was, with so much History! Headed north to San Fransisco spent the evening there. Played complete Tourist. (: We did Monterey Bay Aquarium on Thursday, Greatest thing/place ever! Spent sometime in Carmel! We had a really good time. Tried so many great restaurants and had many laughs, and memories. If any of you know how me and my mum get when were together, you can understand what a great time we had (:
