OK...so food, exercise and spirituality are all amazing aspects to superb health but...Love and friendship are also what can make or break a life that otherwise seems so perfect. You can have the perfect body, be connected to G-d and eat all whole foods but what does all that mean if you don't have a single soul to share it with? There is something so amazing about having a friend, a true friend. Someone to share your experiences with. Someone to laugh and cry with. Someone that tells you that you are beautiful and perfect just the way you are. Passion and love are also very important to feel complete. Sharing your heart with someone means fillling your soul with warmth. You don't NEED to have someone else to feel loved because you are a positive and powerful soul but doesn't it feel nice to have someone to share life's challenges with? And not just anyone...not just the idea of love or friendship but an actual person, a face and a soul that you deeply care for. Their name brings you joy when you say it. Their smile lights up your darkest days. Their voice invokes calm and peace. Best friends are soul mates...lovers will come and go but best friends are forever. Thank you to my best friends Elle and Mark for always being the loves of my life; you will never know how much you mean to me.
Hugs~

I did 5 Days of yoga this week!
Wow,
I have so much to share with you all this week.
The rawknyogini is back in action! Raw goodness and yoga are a staple in my life again and it feels soooo good.
Bikram oh how I missed you. The sweat, the heat, the pain, the deep breathing, the cold shower after class, the feeling of euphoria the minute I step out of the room! If you haven't done yoga or Bikram yoga you need to get yourself to a studio as soon as possible. Your life will never be the same.
And...as far as love and friendship goes, I'm a rich woman. I spent this week doing yoga with a friend all week, went to Boston a couple times with one of my girl friends and hung out with one of my guy friends too!
I realized the other night while talking to one of my guy friends that we are all so hung up on finding someone to love us or to love back. So much so, that we completely neglect ourselves and tell ourselves that we will be miserable if we don't get the affection and acceptance of someone else. A girl had broken his heart into little pieces. Worst of all she created a string of lies that led him into believing that she felt more for him than she did. HONESTY. We need to be honest with ourselves and ask first, "Is the feeling in this relationship 100% mutual?" then if you aren't sure you need to ask the other person. If they say "I don't know" that is an indication that they don't feel the same way. Wouldn't it be great if we could all love ourselves? I think once you love yourself you are able to open your heart for another soul to inhabit because I really believe they can feel the fullness and warmth of your soul and want to be apart of that.
Mission pour moi (for me) this week is to LOVE myself and I think eating raw and doing yoga is a great step in the right direction.

The Yoga Addiction Continues
Hi there everyone,
I hope you all are doing very well. Eating raw, spending time with friends, planting in my garden and exercising are a few of the really fun things that I have had the priveledge of doing everyday!
Today I am going to Bikram yoga after about 2 months of not going. I'm a bit nervous. My ego knows that I'm not as good as I once was by any means! I know it will be very challenging. The heat is something that I'm no longer used to and so are the postures. Having to focus my wandering and spacey mind for 90 minutes is making me feel crazy! LOL!
Why Bikram yoga?!
It calms my mind
I feel strong and powerful
Detoxifies my body
lengthens my joints, muscles and ligaments so I stand up a bit taller
I feel graceful
It gives me a sense of community
Glowing skin
Toned muscles
Mental Focus
Never before have I done exercise where I acheived all of these in a 90 minute class.
So yeah I'm nervous...let's just put it this way i'm wearing capris and a tank top instead of my usual bootie shorts and bikini top. I need some security blanket!
Wish me luck
