I woke up this morning with a burning desire for.....yoga! Yes, yoga. I hit the mat and felt great. More flexible, more stamina, more strength to hold poses, more willingness.
Oprah and Deepak rounded out my early morning routine with their meditation followed by another carrot juice, papaya and banana smoothie. One bun and peanut butter. I just ate the last of my spinach/carrot/beans/chicken mixture topped with some cheese.
For the first time ever, yesterday I offered students the opportunity to opt out of this week's five-day trip to Chiapas which is always a highlight because of the change of geography, weather, and activities, but it is a very long trip with lots of travel time and curving, winding roads filled with speed bumps. There is a group of about 8 who just have no sense of adventure and are whining about how tired they are of Mayan ruins and travel. In one of my more enlightened moments, I realized I can give them the overview of the trip, photos from previous trips and an explanation of why this trip is a part of the semester, and then they can choose. They will get a food stipend, but hotel and transportation costs have already been paid so no refunds. They have until 5:00 today to decide. Rumor has it the ones I least want to travel with are not going. I am counting the hours until 5:00.

I don't know if you can hear/read/sense your energy when you read through these posts. Today the screen fairly hums with your report of success at yoga and the potential change in your trip. Here's to 5:00!
