Yogini’s Quest

Whenever I feel like I’m forced to do something – or else, I find myself completely fighting whatever I’m might end up doing or feel guilted into doing.  I had this situation with my mom pretty frequently and I found she reacts the same way to others too.  Although, I really doubt she’s aware of it.
So, [...]

about Portland.  You can drink the tap water!
This is a big deal because here in Encinitas, there’s like an awful chlorine smell/taste to everything.
I’ve been working at the restaurant for a year now.  I really can’t believe I’ve finally passed my one year mark.  Granted, it is ONLY a restaurant, but it proves to me that [...]

I’ve traveled to more random places in the past four months than I think I have in my entire life.  Hawaii, Vegas, and now Portland – granted, the first two were work related.
I landed in Portland Friday morning.  I left sunny warm San Diego and arrived to a bone-chilling 47 degrees.  I was immediately awe [...]

I reluctantly went to the 9 mysore today.  That class is funny…or actually, perhaps I’m the funny one.  It’s been interesting to see how my practice has shifted.  I used to like going to the crowded mysore classes for attention and energy.  It seems I don’t careabout that now, I’m more into investigating on my [...]

 My niece.
I look really funny in this picture though, I blame it on the poor quality of the digital camera that my sister owns.  Doesn’t my head look gigantic?
I’m working on confronting things that are pressing in my life.  I think I have a lot of male issues.  No, no, I’m not a hardcore feminist [...]

Decided to change my blog design, which is the airy nature of me of course…School weekend #1 was a success!  I’m so glad I signed up for this program!  I already feel so inspired, motivated, and educated – FINALLY, about something that will positively help me to learn something.  Okay, not that I’m not learning [...]

I almost convinced myself out of practice this morning and decided to just cruise in at 7:30 and do a short practice.  Practice wasn’t great.  It’s been a long time since I’ve had a kick ass practice.  I find myself getting frustrated…I’m distracted and feeling a huge lack of focus and motivation.
To top it off, [...]

Work last night was crazy.  We have an oceanview restaurant and people make such a stink about sitting on the patio.  Unfortunately, regardless of a reservation or a request, we aren’t allowed to guarantee patio seating.  The last week, the weather has gotten warmer and the sun is setting later…and it also seems to bring [...]

it can honestly drive me insane, especially when I’m struggling.
I came to terms with the fact last week that I have issues with people succeeding because I automatically think it translates that I am not good enough or that I will be overlooked.  I don’t understand why it is so important for me to be acknowledged [...]

Because I apparently don’t.
I haven’t felt like blogging much at all lately, mostly because the things I’ve been festering over are really issues of ego and aren’t worth addressing.  I hit a pretty low point last week and reached quite a mass amount of frustration over certain things in my life.  I emailed my girlfriend [...]
