“Keep close to Nature’s heart ... and break clear away, once in a while, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean.” - John Muir Happy Earth Day! You may remember that a few weeks ago I shared a new playlist that I've been rocking out to. Well, when I get on a music downloading and playlist arranging kick, I don't stop at just one playlist. Besides my latest feel-good workout playlist, I also came up with a new playlist to listen to while I practice yoga. Besides yoga, I've also been listening to this playlist during stretch/foam rolling sessions. It'd also be a good one for those who do barre workouts on their own.

Check out the cutie pies I got to play with last night at the San Diego Humane Society: If anyone out there lives in the San Diego area and is interested in rescuing a dog (or cat or bunny or even rat!), they have a special going on called My Furry Valentine. From now through Valentine's Day, the adoption fee for any animal is only $14! There were tons of people looking to adopt last night, and the two dogs above will most likely be gone very soon, but there are always a lot of dogs to look at and see if they're right for your home. And, in case you were wondering, the 9-month old Siberian Husky mix pictured above had to get her leg amputated after getting attacked by another dog. She is incredibly sweet and all she wanted to do was lick my face! Life is pretty entertaining when you ... [Read More]
