Yoga & creative blocks...


Breathe in, breathe out...a little more stretch, breathe in, breathe out...
This has been one of the best things I have ever done for myself. I was really starting to feel the effects of these ladders. This is me marbling two 14 ft columns. Great fun but really needed a massage after this one.

When I started Yoga was about the exercise. About vanity and all that. But now it has become about what God has to say to me. The deep relaxation has given me new outlooks. My creativity is exploding...My thirst for color has grown and I blame it all on yoga.

It is a discipline, it is a spiritual experience. Other wonderful benefits are improved upper body strength and no more neck pain. No really...that pain that starts in the shoulder then creeps up your neck and almost paralyzes you after a big job..It's GONE! I was worried that after a few more years of going up and down ladders I was going to have to find something else but I think this has bought me more time. I feel great.

Try it...for at least a month and you will be amazed....Anyone can do it...
But beware of it's aftershocks in your life. My studio now is exploding with new projects, the house has seedlings of new creations in every room. I am trying new recipes on my family and even my clothing choices are changing....Maybe it's that spring is in the air...
I saw a chicadee checking out the old birdhouse under the deck....
I guess it's time to take down the wreaths from the outside garage lights!
