I was sitting at my dining room table yesterday, thinking of my poor deceased mother. "Damn you! You secretly knew Dad was going to turn out like this so you died first," I berated her, even though I couldn't see her. I pondered this statement as I looked out my window and BAM! A cardinal flew into the bushes and stared at me for a good 5 minutes. I knew it was her! Or at least her spirit come to haunt me. She had a thing about cardinals and redbirds. "The first sign of Spring," she always said.
My phone rang. My good friend and life coach, Tori, invited me to her yoga class, reminding me that I need a break and I knew a few deep breaths would do me good. Let's face it, if one is going to be the star of a new travel show, (read previous post) they should probably be in good traveling shape! Please, sit back and let me share this wonderful experience with you.
Heading Om Yoga Studio
Our fabulous yoga instructor, Tammy Mitchell
All relaxed now! Sorry, Mom..... oh, and thanks for the invite, Tori! (I think Mom must have whispered in her ear, don't you?)

ReplyDeletepictures of snow get you on my pal list for sure....
You can talk to birds? What would a crow say?
ReplyDeleteOh, I've eaten crow, but never talked to one! Unless of course, they left a mess on my windshield!!
ReplyDeleteThat yoga studio looks absolutely fabulous. I'd like to hop on that massage table.
ReplyDeleteOh! Be careful what you say to those who have passed on! Loved the story of the bird!
ReplyDeleteTouche
ReplyDeleteTotally! I'm glad you were open to her suggestion. Mother knows best!
ReplyDeleteGlad you took some time for yourself. And that you listen to your mother!
ReplyDeleteI just stumbled upon your blog. So glad I did! It will be a daily stop from now on.
ReplyDeleteyoga... how did I miss this?
ReplyDelete*sighs*
I keep resisting taking Yoga classes, I'm not sure why I know I'll like it and I definitely need it. Maybe I need a sign...
ReplyDeleteSigns from the Universe ARE all around us. I really believe that too. It's just that so often I seem to be walking around with my eyes shut!
ReplyDeleteThe cardinal wasn't, by any chance, carrying a post it note in its beak with the phone number for the Travel Channel, was she?
Taxes! You slay me.
ReplyDelete"A cardinal flew into the bushes and stared at me for a good 5 minutes. I knew it was her!"
ReplyDeleteHahahahahaha! Signs indeed. Can you send that cardinal (your mom) to my house. I so need Yoga. Funny post. Enjoyed it.
OMG, I laughed out loud because we say the same thing about my Dad, he died first so he didn't have to deal with Mom! LOL
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty little bird the Cardinal is. I think my mum will come back as a crow or robin. Both vicious in their own way!
ReplyDeleteOne can NEVER go wrong with a pair of Red Shoes... ;o)
ReplyDelete~shoes~
you going to post again?
ReplyDeleteor do you just want a kiss?
No fair skipping ahead. It is the story of how I got to where I am.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes I just want a kiss.
Great looking yoga studio! I believe in signs also. And your yoga teacher really looks very calm and serene!!
ReplyDeleteI'm missing you! I pray all is well with you.
ReplyDeleteHoping to see you back soon!
ReplyDeleteI like your blog, it looks awesome and you've got plenty of interesting content. I think my mother will come back as a bat by the way...
ReplyDeleteI've just started my new blog. It isn't as pretty as yours yet but I'm a middle aged woman too - so I suspect I will have it in shape soon. ;)
I think signs often come when we need them:)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that yoga studio!!!!! I feel relaxed all ready:)
Never underestimate the healing powers of yoga ;)
ReplyDeleteThat studio looks wonderful!
