Class 2 (which I attended on Sunday afternoon) was AWESOME. seriously. I felt “cleaner,” somehow. Does that sound weird? Maybe my body sweated out the bad stuff at the first class? Who knows! I felt more confident in all the poses (although still not as confident as when I was practicing weekly) and enjoyed nearly every moment of the class (chair and warrior still kill me). Afterwords, I went home, showered, dried my hair, and read in bed and everything just felt right in the world. It felt like the inside of my body had been power-washed. Such a funny feeling! I’m going to class tonight, and I can’t wait for that feeling again :-)

I was lucky enough to see Greg Mortenson, the author of Three Cups of Tea, speak at Barnes&Noble last Thursday, and I’ve been wanting to mention him here ever since. He’s my hero. I hope to (someday!) pursue a career in international education, and his book reinforced all the reasons I want to do it. Check out his nonprofit Web site here. I will mail my copy of the book to anyone who wants to read it (as soon as my friend returns it!!)

Also, my monkey peeler got so much love that I thought I’d offer one up! I know where to get them, and I want to send one to you!  Who wants to do a trade? (I have a soft spot for fun kitchenware and healthy vegan baked goods!) First person to leave a comment with a trade idea wins!

P.S. Roni over at Roni’s Weigh is giving away a food scale!
