I know….it’s cliche, right?

As bloggers, we feel compelled to tell you that WE HEAR THE NEWS TOO and know about good/bad/awful things that happen in our world.

So, of course, I’m heartbroken and sending all my positive peaceful healing energies to anyone affected. I can’t even imagine what they must be feeling right now. I don’t meant that sarcastically, either. Duh.

But, I had an interesting conversation last night with my pretty friend Sangeeta about the media blitz that happens in these sorts of situations. Once we get past the speculation and glorification of violence and hate towards people we don’t know, some fabulous stories often come out about those involved in these situations.

Yep.

I know.

I’m baffled too.

So what happened was this. I spent the whole weekend (like, 15 hours) in my yoga glass, then we studied ayurvedic constitutions for 3 of those hours and ate all this fun vegetarian food that was totally delicious, then I wanted to grill out but not eat meat, but I wanted to eat bacon.

SO. We grilled out. And as a side dish I made this, which could really be a meal, because it has veggies and carbs and protein. It’s quinoa stuffed with bacon cheeseburger ingredients minus the beef. It was AWESOME. Really yummy and satisfying but obviously so much healthier than a burger.

Finally. A Church That Gets It.

I grew up United Methodist. Did you know that? It’s true. Every time we lived in the US we were a part of a large United Methodist church here in Greenville.

Currently, the UMC governing laws prohibits clergy from marrying gay couples. The United Methodist governing body has, to the best of my understanding, simply not addressed the issue at the last several conferences in which a rule like this might be examined or overturned.

I get it. It’s a hot-button issue.

I don’t, FOR THE LIFE OF ME, get why, though.

Happy New Year! I hope you’re on your way to recovery from the last few weeks. They’ve been a doozie, at least for us!

The other day in yoga we talked about a book called The Four Agreements by don Miguel Ruiz. It’s a short book, simple to read, and incredibly profound in its simplicity. Rather than make resolutions, I usually spend some time in January thinking about changes I’m ALWAYS trying to make – not just at this time of year when people are going to become perfect in 10 days and then forget all about it and end up feeling like failures.

I have no desire for that. I do, however, have a desire for peace, joy, love, and contentment. This reading made great sense to me, and I hope you’ll find some comfort in it as well.

Good Morning.

I woke up late and then there was traffic and I look dumb and I forgot my lunch. Awesome.

I did brush my teeth, though, so there are successes in all parts of life.

Or something.

Happy Labor Day!

Not Memorial Day, like I said on Friday. I’m a moron.

Whatcha up to?

We’re coming back from the mountains today, but we’re taking our sweet dang time and stopping at fun restaurants, lookouts, and markets along the way.

We’re also planning our next trip! We love to travel, and we’ve done more international than local travel, so we’re trying to see more things near us!

And, we’re having a giveaway with a question.
