la femme inconnu, c'est moi!

Hello, welcome, thanks for reading...

I am a free spirit concerned with traveling, cooking, creating, learning, and all things good. 

I am a yoga teacher.

I post about yoga, travels, recipes, and what I find interesting. 

At the time I'm writing this, I'm new to the blogging thing... my plans are to add video for the yoga sequences that I share and information regarding yoga philosophy. 

I will also be adding more examples of my artwork. Just because I'd like to share what I create with the world. I like to see what other people create, so maybe the world would like to see what I create. 

Additionally, I like cooking. So I'll be posting any recipes I try here and if / how I modify them. 

Just sharing my version of reality, maybe it will jive with yours, maybe it won't. I'm going to be honest and direct about my thoughts, feelings, and opinions. If you don't agree with them, no one is making you read this. 

I tend to do what I want, when I want. And maybe that seems a little selfish, but it's my life. And I can live it how I want to, according to no rules. If you have a problem with that, or if you aren't doing that, then go follow your heart! And then, maybe, you'll understand. It's this crazy feeling that you can't escape, that grabs you from the inside and just rips your heart out of where you thought you belonged. It's not easy, and it's definitely scary. But the voice in my head is saying "Go! Learn! Explore! Challenge yourself!" And I find that through adventures, and meeting people, and learning new customs, cultures, and languages. 

I'm at my best and my fullest when I am out exploring the world and yeah, I have the drive, the strength, and the courage to listen to myself and do what my heart is telling me to do. This is how I find meaning. But why is that so hard? Finding meaning... I mean, isn't that what we all search for? 

So listening, being present, having silence... these are all REALLY important. And once you start to listen, and be present, and NOTICE what is happening around you... it snowballs. And life gets better, and when you follow your heart, nothing can stop you. You're along for the beautiful ride of what we've termed "life." 

I don't feel the need to explain myself for approval from anyone because that doesn't really matter to me. Family or friends or random people. You do you, and I'm going to do my thing. I'm explaining this so that if you, whomever you are, reading this, if any of this makes sense to you, and resonates, then you're not alone! And I think that's kind of comforting. Not being alone is nice. Sometimes it's nice to be alone, but sometimes it's nice to know that you're not, even if you are. 

So. Things I try to live by: 

1. Collect Memories

2. Have good posture

3. Have a well stamped passport

4. Dance

5. Exercise 

6. Eat well

7. Drink well ;)

8. Keep and open mind

9. Have compassion and forgiveness for yourself & others

10. Learn and keep learning

Bon Voyage!
