The Slippery Slope of New Year’s Resolutions

The Slippery Slope of New Year’s Resolutions

While I don’t believe that January 1st is the only day of the year we can embrace life change, there is something so hopeful about the start of a new year. So, last year I joined many other people and set some New Year’s Resolutions. One of which, was to try and keep my cool, even when the world around me is hot.

For All the Sleepy Mamas (I Salute You)

Last night was the fourth night in a row that AE didn't sleep for more than 30 consecutive minutes. I've had less than 15 hours total sleep over five days.

I love the week between Christmas and New Year's Day. It's like the world universally agrees to slow down. Traffic is light. Many people take vacation from work. Naps are added to daily routines. And, we can all take a deep breath.  I'm doing just that and taking the week off! But, I thought I'd leave you with some of the most popular posts of the year in each Intention category.   Each year, I give up my active practice the week between Christmas and New Year's Day.  Instead, I practice only restorative poses.
